Blueshelled.com is 2 years old today! Some of you have been here from the start and some of you are brand new and a lot of you are smack dab in the middle. The bottom line is that I adore all of you and want to thank you for sticking around and showing the love for a small blog that makes my life a lot better. Thank you.

Some of you, and you know who you are, have been complaining that I haven’t been around.
My bad.
There was a time I wrote in my blog every day. This past summer, however, was a time for me to spend discovering who I have become as an adult and if I am satisfied with myself at the present moment or if I am ready to move forward and become more. Part of my job, that has become a part of who I am, is the ability to assess myself and use that assessment for self-reflection and introspection. It’s constant and consuming and can be overwhelming in both the best and the worst of ways.
Part of writing a blog is understanding and knowing the proper balance of how much to share with people and how much to keep sacred. This summer was pretty sacred for me out of requirement, necessity and propriety. The good news in all of this is that I feel like I have a better understanding of who I am and where I am going. One of the first things I learned in my undergraduate psychology Motivation course was that humans are motivated the most by Fear and Love and if you can combine the two there are few things humans won’t do.
It has been the summer of fear and love and confusion and growth.
I am me, which is more than enough, and I am content with the change and growth that are occurring even when it is scary.
It’s good to be back.

I started blogging over at blogger.com one year ago today, and moved to blueshelled.com shortly thereafter.
So, here is to one year of blogging. One year of making friends in you. One year of thoughts and giggles, and rants, awards, sponsorships and giveaways.
Here is to all the thank yous I owe all of you for your support and love.
Here is to many more.
Life is like a game. We all have challenges, thoughts, opinions and beliefs. Often, it feels like something out there, life, karma, catty people, or blue shells (for the Kart lovers), seeks to bring us down. Luckily, we always get up. This is where I wear my heart on my sleeve and my foot in my mouth.
