Some of you might know that yesterday was the official one year anniversary of randomsarah.com. WOW, a year! Sometimes it seems like way less than that, but it also seems like so much has happened that it can’t possibly just be a year.

I have met SOOO many great people and had the opportunity to be a part of such a great community. I am so thankful.

Over the last few days I have known that this anniversary was coming up and I have had some time to reflect on why I got into this space in the beginning. I was looking through my archives from last April which was my first month of writing randomsarah.com.

My writing has changed a lot, my style on video has changed a lot, and the content that I choose to put out has certainly changed. But I think it has changed for the better.

I am very happy with where this blog has come in a year. I have learned a lot about community, blogging, video blogging, podcasting, wordpress, SEO, and so much more.

I have been feeling that my current obsession with tumblr has taken away from my blogging here, but I am making efforts to change that. I signed up for ProBlogger‘s 31 days to a better blog challenge, which will start on April 6th and I will try my best to post EVERY DAY. In addition to that, I also am participating in Video Blogging Week, which will take place from April 5th-11th and will be one new video a day.

Last night I attended an event at New Work City for Runway Project called Resume 2.0. Whitney Hess was speaking about picking your one liner that describes what you do. It made me realize that I am doing so many things, how can I condense them into one line?

I talked to Whitney after the event and she helped me remember why I got into this space in the first place, I started this because I wanted to do online video. I was watching a ton of podcasts and I knew that video podcasting and online video was something I wanted to do.

So I am going to work more on focusing my efforts toward my end goal. I thank you all for contributing to this blog over the last year and supporting me. You have been the BEST Community I could ever ask for! Thank you all for continuing to inspire me to be better.
