Little did I know when I posted my very first inspiration board a few years back ééò which was also my first post ééò that I’d still be going 300 boards later, have a magazine, and an amazing community of supporters ééò both vendors who have become some of my closest friends, and readers ééò around me. Whilst blogging may seem like ééòa easy gig’ to a lot of people, don’t be fooled ééò it’s a LOT of work, and for the sake of full transparency here, there are many days where I question why I’m doing this to the point where I have considered giving up several times. There are days when I wonder if anyone is taking notice or reading the posts (and now magazines) I’ve spent hours putting together, days where I long for a colleague at the desk next to me to ask an opinion of and days where I simply don’t feel like ééòchatting’ but feel somewhat obligated to (yes I realise it’s only me putting that pressure on myself!), and of course days where a regular ol’ paycheck would be most welcome!! Self doubt is by far my biggest enemy. But my love for photography, design and all things pretty keep me going and at the end of the day I wouldn’t trade this ééònot always so easy gig’ for anything. Having to be in a corporate environment, answer to a boss (other than my husband ééò hehe!), at a desk at a certain time every day is certainly not something I’m cut out for! So here’s to the next 300 boards!! I’m most grateful and thankful to all of you for reading and your constant support and encouragementééò believe me it means more than you can imagine! Mwah x
