I once attended a class on blogging, and the instructor shared her personal philosophy she held before embarking on creating her own blog—she would only do that which cost her nothing.

Celebrating Success
It's official: I'm a published author! I don't know if it really has sunk in yet. The day of the book launch, I had mentioned to my coworker how I had a big event that evening.

Since then, it’s been sitting in my drafts box, waiting to be shared, and after publishing my special anniversary series along with my intermittent leave from posting, I have no idea where this ...
