Okay… so I received an email from Mandi, the Editor of Family Bliss and co-Editor of Financial Bliss (yes… from THE site, Blissfully Domestic), asking me to be a part of the Family Channel and their Financial Channel. Me?!?! She said that one of the editors visited my sites and recommended me to her. What?!
I emailed her back with a resounding, “Yes!” (Actually, it was more professional than that… but I was more excited than a little kid at Christmas). I could not imagine why anyone would want me to be part of their site. I actually thought I might be dreaming. (And, for the record, I did have dreams about posting on their site).
This morning, Mandi responded, and let me know I could be part of both channels, and would be required to submit two posts per month for each channel. What?! Picture me dragging Shane over to read my email, cause that’s pretty much what happened! Do people really care what I think about finances and family/motherhood? I guess I should hope so, because after a few hours of nervous thought and prayer (and much pestering Shane with the should-I-or-shouldn’t-I), I decided that I would commit to both channels. Whew…
As I write this, I am quaking in my house-shoes. I am full of excitement and wonder. I am terrified that everything I write is going to be irrelevant, stupid, and wrong, and that I will get fired. I’m also thinking that, wow, people will read what I wrote. This could be such a blessing in my life.
Please pray for me as I take this step into the unknown. Blissfully Domestic is my favorite site, and it is such an honor to even be considered, let alone asked to contribute. Please pray for wisdom, writing relevant and Godly posts, patience, and peace as I go on this new adventure.
Yay! I’m going to actually know someone who posts on these wonderful blogs. You are famous now. I have such great friends!
I’m so excited for you Amy! Wow! Congrats.. I know you will be awesome at this!
