Happy Two-Year Blogaversary

For the last two years, the federal holiday of Dr. Martin Luther King’s birthday reminds me of when I launched my blog, The Age of Grace.  Like Dr. Martin Luther King’s famous speech, “I Have A Dream,” too.  However, my dream is to inspire, connect, and remind women over the age of fifty that we can age gracefully—happy two years, Blogaversary, and to the Age of Grace for continuing on that mission.

I was inspired by my daughter and many others’ blogs. I didn’t want to miss out by not voicing my concerns, thoughts, and opinions. We all have an account that needs to be told, whether it be success or failure. I believe we all have a sphere of influence with our family, friends, and social media that we need to impact.

Over the past two years, blogging has been not a journey but a marathon. Recently, I’ve sprinted into many bloggers’ dreams of being noticed with brand collaborations. No letters, significant campaigns, and consistent once-a-week blogging were written. And, of course, my blog’s name is included with the over 40 – 50 blogger lists. My pièce de résistance, being featured on the Fabulous After 40 blog and The GIT Girl online Mag, is such an honor.

Looking back at the different areas I focused on during 2014, health awareness remains my passion. This is no surprise since I have been in the pharmaceutical industry for nearly 20 years.

Health Awareness:  Health Risks, Women and Heart Disease, Incontinence, Bowel Movements, Allergies, Omega-3, Alzheimer’s Disease, Suicide Awareness, Breast Cancer, Domestic Violence, Lung Health, COPD/Great American Smokeout.

Fitness: Fitbit, Exercise/Movement, Drop 5 Pounds, Sacred Heart Soup

Beauty:  Dry Skin Brushing, Face Mapping, Hydra Facial, Ashy Skin, SPF Protection

Collaborations:  Lover.ly, eShakti, Covered Perfectly, Lucky Magazine Smile Contest

Women of Grace:  Cynthia of 2ChicDesigns and Leslie, FabuLeslie

On The Road Again: Philly Flower Show, Tea at the Plaza,  PSU, Charles James Met exhibit, Andy Warhol Museum, Napa Valley, Christmas in NYC

I know you know by now, but this is just a reminder that The Age of Grace started as a dream that commenced two years ago this week. I keep on track with annual goal setting and determination using my vision boards (and much prayer and belief).

I may not have accomplished what Dr. Martin Luther King did. Still, every person has daily opportunities to be better, do better, and achieve dreams in their circles, including family, friends, and social media networks.

Are you keeping your dreams alive? Are you fulfilling your dreams?

Happy Two-Year Blogaversary to The Age of Grace! Thank you for reading it. I appreciate you.
