First Blog Anniversary



More than 400 posts, 3 new blogs, over 10,000 visits, plus dozens of new blogging friends later, today I'm celebrating the first anniversary of my very first posting on It's A Beautiful Life.

It's interesting that as I celebrate this small achievement, Mr. Rick and I went to see the movie Julie and Julia, where we watched young Julie Powell cook her way through Julia Child's book on french cooking and then blog about her experiences.

Although my blog hasn't turned into a book or a movie (smile), I'm still really delighted with my blogging experience, having met so many wonderful people over the past year.

It's been wonderful -- thanks for the ride!

  6. dear brenda,
    since this is the one year anniversary for your blog, i though it would be fitting to look back at your very first blog, in which you wrote about your vision for your blog. i love all that you wrote, and from all i've read of your writings and interactions with other bloggers (including myself), i would say you're doing a wonderful job of carrying out that vision. thanks for your beautiful, encouraging spirit that you put out there consistently for others to enjoy and be lifted up by.

    praying the Lord will use you just as much and more in the coming year! thank you for your reminders in many ways that it is indeed a beautiful life!
