Happy B-Day to Me!

To my wonderful readers, I must tell you that you are not confused. My natural birthday was April 28th and we celebrated hard with a RECORD BREAKING response to my post over at Parenting. Shortly, there after we launched the Chocolate Chats interactive podcast over at TalkShoe. We’ve had a blast, but this birthday is going to be different/bigger.

What do you do to celebrate an incredible journey in self-discovery, self-definition and virtual nakedness?

I started with an identity crisis in March, got committed to this thing called blogging and revisited the crisis in June. The rest is her-story. Yeah, her story. I would have to say that blogging has been so rewarding for me as it gave me the audience to share my views/thoughts and it gave me a level of accountability to my writing. You all have seen the gamut here. From my crazy antics about my neglectful health habits to my tribute to my dad (whom I love so much), you guess laughed and cried with me. You were with me when I found my awesome church after years of being away from a church home, while I drowned in St. Louis. You even struggled with me as DH and I discovered the cost of our financial neglect and how we had to work hard to put it all together again. Man, you know more about me than my family. Check out some of the archives and post a comment or two.

Some of you like stats, so my goal was 365 posts, but then when I took Sundays out/took time out for the holidays, I thought 200 posts was more reasonable. I wrote 180! WOOO-WHOO! That was good, huh? Not to mention that Chanda came in and helped me out when the exposure was too much and contributed 24, so that REALLY puts us over the 200 mark. Thanks Sis!

I am so excited that I get to share with all of you what’s going on with me. I told you all that some things were changing and they are. Stay tuned to the new version of dahgurl! One year and still kicking it!
