Top 10 Benefits of Blogging

10/25/2017

Today is my seven-year Blogoversary – seven 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 boons I’ve experienced since beginning my blog 7 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. I've also met great friends through the process of blogging! I feel especially blessed to be a part of the StencilGirl Products community and to have spent a creative weekend with them at StencilGirl & Friends recently!

2. Inspiring others and being inspired by others.
Becoming the StencilGirl Products Blog/Social Media Coordinator is one dream that's come true from blogging! I love sharing inspiration and am constantly inspired by others!

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! 

10. Blogging is something wonderful to look forward to!

Have a wonderful week and many thanks to those who have connected to me through my blog!
I feel incredibly grateful!

Happy Blogoversary! Seven years is quite an accomplishment. I enjoyed your list of benefits and found myself nodding my head in agreement at ones I hadn't considered before.

Congratulations on your blogoversary! It's great to see your return to some of your old haunts, too- we've been missing your presence.

Congratulations Mary!! So happy I discovered you, and Stencil Girl! I have begun researching this avenue myself lately, blogging. It seems like a wonderful way to connect with others who are like minded! You should be proud of this accomplishment and where it has led you!
