Can you believe 5 years went by already?
So much has changed in my life from when I first started blogging till today. There are days I think, “Maybe its time I go do something else”, but then, I just love blogging and all of you lovely awesome friends that I’ve met here. Its a journey all on its own. If anything, I’ve learned a lot from this experience and it has been an amazing and awesome one!
The New Year’s was just two weeks ago so I’ve pretty much done all the announcements that I need. You can go check it out HERE! Pretty much everything is staying the same. Except last year was highly unproductive in meeting any of my goals from long-term projects like Baking Through Disney and The Classics Adventure, even my Reading Challenge was one short and lets not even talk about the PopSugar Reading Challenge that I totally forgot about. I’m not perfect and that’s okay. A lot of things happened last year and while not much happened, a lot also did happen. I’m trying to be more involved and this year, I’m trying to comment more. I’m still working super hard on catching up with all of your posts. Its a work in progress but one that I try to take my time to do as much as I can.
However, this post was supposed to be a vlog (like I say every year). Five years is a milestone. One that I’m extremely proud of. The versatility and diversity of the content has really grown from that first year when I was writing in my little corner and struggling to write up one post a week to now where I try to get on average on post a day and finally learned how to plan in advance and be more organized. All very great accomplishments that are useful not only for here but for my life in general.
Tranquil Dreams has always been about staying positive and experiencing new things, trying something different and all that lovely stuff. Its about living life and even though, I go through surges of talking about movie, I’m working hard this year to balance out the things I enjoy and talk about that. The last two years have been a little crazy with adapting to being a new homeowner (and the renovations) and then wedding planning and getting back energy after the big day. Its all done and things have settled down so I’m ready to take on this year heading into Year 6 with much more energy and many more fun things that I plan on doing.
I was trying to get something special regarding upcoming changes for this post but after some debate, I’m giving it a little more thought so I’ll do another reveal soon. I want to really take my time in making sure that its going to be exactly how I like it. For now, its a secret 😉
I never really know how to approach these blogiversary posts. What I really do want to say in short (since this is already kind of long) is that…
THANK YOU! Thank you so much for being here, stopping by and doing everything you do. I appreciate it so so much! Meeting new bloggers, making friends, joining in to blogathons, being a part of The Random Chat Show and That Moment In, etc: its all a great experience and I wouldn’t trade it for anything. If anything, I’m working hard to make here better every single day! 🙂
Thank you again and stay awesome! 🙂
I’m so happy for you. I love your blog so much. Here’s to many more wonderful years for you Kim.
