I've reached my one year anniversary of blogging. After posting over a hundred blogs, what have I learned? Read and find out.

As a new blogger, I experience many emotions about what I'm doing. Is it just for my own entertainment or are other people getting something from it? Read about my emotional ups and downs with blogging.

I’m sure those of you who work for global companies are aware of the new European Union regulation – General Data Protection Regulation or GDPR – which became enforceable on May 25 (last Friday).  It regulates how any organization that is subject to the Regulation treats or uses the personal data of people located in the EU. Personal data is any piece of data that, used alone or with other data, could identify a person. If you collect, change, transmit, erase, or otherwise use or store the personal data of EU citizens, you’ll need to comply with the GDPR. How does GDPR apply to me I’ve been seeing articles and…

Well, I only got 13 responses to my three-month blog survey. I was hoping for more. Guess that’s about 27% of my email subscribers so maybe that’s to be expected. Isn’t that about what we felt was good enough at work when we sent out surveys? It’s funny too.  My Facebook poll also had 13 votes.  Seems 13 is my lucky number!! I did have 29 answers in my reading poll.  Did I try to ask too much all at once??? Thanks to the 13 responders to my blog survey.  You provided me with good information.  As a result, I’ve made some changes in my post schedule over the next…

My blog has been in place for three months now.  Time sure flies!! I’ve heard from many of you that you are really enjoying it.  I’m so glad about that. Now I’d like to give you all a chance to provide feedback through a very brief survey.  There are only four questions (three are marked as required) so I promise it won’t take you long to complete it.  And it’s very important to me, so I’d appreciate it if you’d take just a few minutes. If you have anything to contribute that isn’t covered in the survey, you can always send me your thoughts through post comments or the Contact…

I was going to post a recipe today but I’m having one of those “bursting at the seams” weeks and I need a release.  What does that mean, you ask?  Well, there are so many ideas spinning around in my head that I can’t seem to focus or figure out what to do next.  I’ve had two rocky nights because my brain just won’t shut down. Do you ever make the mistake of overstimulating your brain too close to bedtime?  I know better but I keep doing it!!   I need to close down my iPad, books or anything else that generates thoughts and watch some mindless TV to wind down. …

I decided one day I wanted to start a blog and soon after, embarked on this blogging journey.  I was so excited about it but it took me ten days to actually start doing anything after I secured my domain name.  I tend to be a perfectionist and before I started, I wanted to make sure I had all my ducks in a row, i.e., I knew what I was doing. I read lots of other blogger’s posts about blogging – how to start a blog in 1o days, the 5 things you need to do to start a blog, yada yada yada.  I think I confused more than helped…
