I’m loving Pinterest. You can’t tell me you don’t love it too.
In fact, I love it so much I decided to write a guest post about it for my blogging friend Larry over at Christian in the Rough.
Here’s a sneek peek:
In case you’ve been living under a very large rock, let me catch you up to speed.
Me: Reader, meet Pinterest. Pinterest, meet the reader.
Pinterest: Nice to meet you. Allow me to introduce myself. I’m the coolest thing since sliced bread. Or homemade strawberry shortcake on a stick. Or chocolate covered peanut butter bananas. Hungry yet?
Don’t miss the rest. Head over to Christian in the Rough to learn why you need to be using Pinterest today.

I don’t have children. I’m not really sure if that’s in God’s plan for me. I guess only time will tell. I may never experience pregnancy or what it’s like to have a child growing inside of you.

But I’ve been pregnant before. I still am.
Pregnant with dreams and visions.

I can officially say that I have a book deal. I didn’t dream it. It actually happened. (I think) With a contract and everything.

The book, Dear Dad, Did You Know I Was a Princess? should be released in the fall. I’m pretty excited!

This last year I wrote more words than I ever have in my life. I worked on a manuscript for my first book. I blogged five days a week. I guest posted. I did freelance work. I wrote content for other websites.
One of the biggest steps I took in 2011 was calling myself a writer. The more I said the words, the more I believed them. People would ask me, “What do you do?” I replied, “I’m a writer.” The first 20 times I laughed inside, but after time, I started to believe it. Now I’m not ashamed to say it.

We’ve all failed at something in our lives. Some failures we remember as the “Big Ones.” Others are a distant memory.
When I was in middle school we were headed to a band competition. I had practiced this particular composition what seemed like a million times. I played the flute day and night preparing for what I knew to be something important. My band teacher was impressed and she knew I was ready.

The morning of the competition a friend sat down on my flute and bent it. I sobbed, kicked a few things, calmed down and reassured my friend it was okay. I would figure something out. I got to school and another student offered to let me borrow hers. Then I realized I had forgotten my sheet music with my highlights and notes. There was no time to go back home and get them before the bus left. I was devastated.

Stumbleupon was founded back in 2001, but I actually didn’t stumble upon it until last year. (No pun intended. Ok – maybe it was just a little)
Joking aside, I’m glad I did. Writer Jeff Goins highly recommended it in a blog post as a way to increase traffic to your website. I decided to jump on the wagon.
