International Women’s Day 2017

Today is International Women’s Day (March 8, 2017) and I decided to write about one special woman I know.

***

She was a tortured soul. She didn’t know how to tell others how she truly felt. She gave them hints, but no one was smart enough to figure it out. She decided to simply give up. She had had enough. She swallowed some pills, thinking that that would do the trick. It didn’t. Instead, she…

The Essence of Blogging (+ How to Earn Money Online)

Someone on Facebook messaged me the other day, asking “What is blogging?”

I was a bit speechless. I didn’t know how to answer, because really, how can you explain what blogging is to someone who doesn’t really know?

So I directed him to my post 5 Things New Bloggers Need to Know, and said, “This will help you.”
