October 25th marked my three-year Blogoversary – three years since I began blogging!
Blogging definitely requires time and energy, but you can gain much by doing it with passion and persistence!

Below are just some of the benefits I’ve experienced since beginning my blog 3 years ago!
1. Connecting with others and becoming a part of a community.
I've been fortunate enough to communicate with many other creative people all over the world through blogging.
2. Inspiring others and being inspired by others.
Being asked to be on the StencilGirl Creative Team is one dream that's come true from blogging!
3. Learning new technology.
Whether it's HTML code, creating a blog button, or experimenting with my DSLR camera, I am constantly learning new technology to improve my blog.
4. Creating goals: for both my blog and my life.
5. Attaining goals.
Keeping a blog keeps me accountable.
6. Creating art.
7. Researching with purpose.
I love discovering other artists who create map art and connecting with these artists, too!
8. A sense of consistency and grounding.
With the ups and downs of life, blogging remains a constant in mine.
9. You’ll accomplish more than you ever thought you could!
For example, another dream of mine came true: to have my paintings featured in a print magazine...after a contributing editor of Featuring magazine saw my paintings on my blog!
10. Blogging is something wonderful to look forward to!
Have a great beginning to your week!
