It’s been one year since I regularly started posting to this blog. How has it changed me since starting it last November 19? It has reignited my passion for writing and helped me to share my feelings. I talked about my Toastmasters experiences. When my friends were live on Facebook, I shared in the blog what I learned.
More recently, I’ve used it to promote small businesses (in addition to Toastmasters events) as I’ve become more invested in the community. Shops like The Trendy Bunny Studio (Trendy for short) and Masterspieces have gotten great attention on my blog. I’ve also gained followers in Team Trendy and other prominent local boss babes.
I’ve used my blog to promote Toastmasters events and Division B and highlight some of their bigger events. I’m a regular supporter and unofficial member of clubs such as Cranberry High Noon and Earlybirds and I’ll be making in person visits there next month.
So what will I talk about in the blog in November? I’m going to continue to promote small businesses like Trendy and Masterspieces. I’m also going to include Majesty (I’m a longtime customer since their days in Westmoreland Mall] and RSVP in my posts. I’ll work off of their stories in social media.
I’ll be making the first of my Toastmasters visits on November 14. It’ll be at the Earlybirds meeting and it will be in person. They meet downtown at the Butler YMCA. I attended as a guest at their virtual meetings in the Spring. I’ll be attending my favorite club, Cranberry High Noon, on November 23. They were the first club in District 13 to try out the hybrid method of running meetings. They meet in Seven Fields at the community center. I’m also planning to attend virtual meetings at Penn Hills (Nov. 19) and South Hills (Nov. 24). Fun fact: Three of these clubs won Club of the Year. All four were Distinguished or higher. I also plan on taking part in my usual clubs as well. I’m giving an evaluation on November 15 at Achievers and giving a speech on the 18th at Greensburg. The title of the speech is “Why You Should Shop Small”. Appropriate with Small Business Saturday coming up.
Thanksgiving is going to be November 26. Yes it will different than it usually is for a lot of families this year. For us, it’s not much different as we usually have a small gathering. Some of our family members have moved away, married, and some now have kids of their own. Not sure where we will end up but it will still be a great holiday 🦃. I plan on making my rounds on Small Business Saturday. I’m also going to attend the holiday market on November 29 in downtown Greensburg. More on these events as they get closer.
Time to close off the blog. I’m giving thanks for what a crazy year it’s been, but also a great year that’s brought me plentiful harvest blessings. I’ve gained confidence in myself and let go of my past. I feel better about myself again and I’m beginning to prioritize myself more.
Remember to live your best life. Be your best you. Be a ray or sunshine. You might just save someone’s life. If you see someone sitting alone, pick up your tray and sit with them. You might just change their life.
Remember to turn your clocks back tonight before you go to bed.
Bye everyone. ❤️ you.
