It has evolved into what my blog is now, but those who know me (and I know you do) know that my blog is pretty much the journey of who I am and where I am headed and my day-to-day struggles and successes.

You're right on the money. I started blogging to express myself and share my passion for all stuff geeky. Not to seek fame and fortune. So, yes @MLRebecca I do think I'm a better person in many ways now. I am certainly more confident, in a good way, about my writing and photography. I've gotten several jobs through blogging and met some amazing people as well. @Miss604-Rebecca yes I tell people I'm want to be rich and famous, I've got the famous part down pat... I love social media, I love writing, and I love photography. I also love eating and having a roof over my head. Sometimes it's been a struggle to mesh all those things together ;). @buzz I totally get it. That said I do get a rush when I hear you talk about something online and I think <em>wow I know that person too!</em>. I'm lucky that I'm reminded that the world doesn't revolve around social media on a near daily basis. @Gus: You’re welcome. You’re right on the money.

I know the old adage about bloggers is that they're introverted, and yes, the very act of blogging has caused to me look inward more. However, it is the process of focusing on who I am (looking inward) that makes me feel confident and more extroverted. I definitely view this as a positive change.

I also took on this blogging thing full time because I like the writing so much, although the freelance web writing realm is not as glamorous *cough* or as lucrative *cough* as one may think ;-) maybe that's why the freebies are such a bonus.
