I can’t believe the 30-Day Blogging Challenge is complete!  To be honest, when I began, I wasn’t sure I’d be able to come up with stuff to write about for 30 days straight, but, as is always the case, when we step outside of our comfort zones, stretch beyond where we think we can, and are willing to grow just a little more, we discover just how capable we truly are!

So, what are some of the lessons I’ve learned in this process, and how does it relate to relationships?

1. There is a desire, a thirst for information and inspiration regarding relationships: I learned that there is a desire and a hunger to learn how to make relationships better.  All of us want to experience love, peace, and passion in our lives and our relationships, but we’re not always sure of how to go about getting it.  Many times, we do not see how our fears, doubts, and limiting beliefs are actually blocking us from having the things we most desire.  We’re not aware of how we self-sabotage our own happiness.  I am grateful for the work that we do and for the women (and men) who are ready to learn and grow and transform their lives so that they can have the relationships their hearts desire!
2. I am an instrument of love, peace, healing, and transformation. I love to connect with, inspire, and make a real difference in the lives of others.  I’ve always loved writing and speaking, and I can see how I can use them to reach hundreds… thousands of people to make a real impact in this world. The resounding message in our blog is that we need to be the love we want to see in our lives, relationships, and the world.  By reaching out, connecting, and sharing tips, ideas, information, and inspiring messages, I can be part of bringing about the peace and love I want to experience in this world, in every moment of my life!
3. We are all part of something bigger than ourselves.  I joined the Social Media Club of South Florida Facebook group the day they began talking about the challenge. I wasn’t sure if I fit in a group with others who I saw as more knowledgeable, experienced, and well-versed in social media than I am.  I found myself pleasantly surprised, and loved each time I saw someone in the group retweet or comment on the blog.  And I loved returning the favor, too!  I get the same experience with the other members of the Heartcore Woman’s Inner Circle, where we provide one another with tons of TLC (Tweeting, Liking, and Commenting) on one another’s blogs.  During this process, there was a core group of ladies who commented on almost every single post, and I am so grateful for being able to connect with them on a more personal level, beyond learning about how to move our businesses forward!  And this is what being “in relationship” is all about: The loving, selfless giving and receiving of love and encouragement!
4. I love connecting with you! Perhaps the most rewarding part of all of this blogging was hearing how a post helped you discover something about yourself, your partner, or relationships in general.  Hearing your a-ha moments, affirmations, the ways you practice self-care, and the importance of intimacy in our lives was fun and inspiring for me!  So, thank you so much for taking the time to comment and share with all of us!

There are so many more lessons I walk away with.  I am inspired to continue blogging – probably not every day, but at least 2-3 times per week.  I hope that the 30 daily “Heart’s Desire Thought for the Day” helped provide you with the information and inspiration you seek regarding love, dating, relationships, intimacy, forgiveness, parenting, and more! They are there, on our blog, archived and ready to be accessed and shared whenever your heart desires!

Thank you for letting me share my blogging-challenge journey.  Thank you for being part of it.  Thank you for being YOU!

So, now it’s your turn… What topics, questions, or ideas would you like to see covered in our blog?  In other words, how may we continue to serve you?
