Exactly one month ago I reached my goal of accumulating 100 wonderful readers.Today I am at 200, effectively doubling my following in a mere month (woot!)
I have had this blog since 2009 when on a whim (but after much consideration) duringa snow day, I decided to create my own corner of the internet with this post right here.
source Through blogging I’ve already met some wonderful, intelligent, strong women,learned a great deal and become inspired to live a life worth documenting.
After a few years of only posting sporadically, I decided to dedicate myself to connecting with others and sharing whatever nuggets of knowledge I have. With you. I apologize if the title of my post is a bit misleading (and if you want to learn aboutsome of the less conventional methods I used in gaining followers please email me. I plan to one day do a tell-all post (as I’ve documented my hits/misses in my “blogger binder” I know dork) but I think it would be more helpful if I had more followers first lol.
source You all know me as Georgina, a philosophy/public policy student, freelance writer,accessory lover, literature enthusiast and healthy living advocate. What you don’t know, is I have an illness that kills 20,000 Americans each year.I won’t write anymore of an essay here (you can see details here), but I have decided to challenge myself this year. To run for a cure and to inspire others.
source So what is inspiring you right now? What do you aspire to? If you have a moment, please “Like” my blogs Facebook Page. Let me know if you do and post the link to yours so I may support you!

June 21, 2012Actually, after reading this post, and learning more about Lupus, I feel that the thing that is inspiring me right now is you. You are such an influential, inspiring person, Georgina; and I am so glad to have 'met' you through the blogosphere! 🙂

June 21, 2012Wonderful collection of inspiring words. What inspires me most now is that I just dropped my husband at the train on this hot hot day and seeing him go off to work each day does make me feel so loved. I think no matter what battle or job we all strive to do we can always find encouragement and enthusiasm in those that rise above any sort of obstacle or challenge.
I wish you all the best with your run. Happy to donate a give-away for you on your blog of note cards or a work of art.

June 21, 2012Your offer is so incredibly thoughtful and generous, I appreciate it so much!
I was always inspired by my fathers work ethic (as well as that of my significant other). You put it so eloquently – I agree completely.
Thank you again!
