My Long Awaited First Blog!

For more than a couple of months now, I have been on Spring mode. I think that is a common thing for me around mid-January every year. It's perfect timing I guess since New Year's is when most people make their list of resolutions that often include cleaning, organizing, saving, etc. So, to ensure that I make good with my list, I act. I may not accomplish everything since I am by no means perfect, but at least I come close.

One of the things on my to-do list is getting my blog active. I need to BLOG! I am not going to lie, I created this blog to promote my YouTube channel - LifeAt50&Beyond. I figured, for every YouTube upload, I will have an accompanying blog. Easier said than done! Starting a YouTube channel with a full-time job, not to mention, a homebased baking business to co-run with my daughter, can be overwhelming. On top of those, I also created an Instagram account and Facebook page for my YouTube channel. And...just recently, I also created a Pinterest account for it! So, I had a lot of things going on that I had to prioritize.

I love to plan. If you visit my channel, some of my video uploads are about planning. So, I am putting my planning skills into action. Although I am several months behind on my first blog, I am determined to do it! First, I have a separate blog planner. I have been wanting one, and even assigned a couple of planners to do the trick, but my latest planner YouTube video-- converting my Recollections zippered binder planner into a travelers notebook- has gotten me into blog planning mode. Actually, I credit it for this first blog! After all, if I plan it, I have to stick to it right??? RIGHT!

Therefore, with zeal and unfazed determination...I finally wrote my first blog on this page. I hope who reads this will come back for more blog entries. I am going to take this one day at a time. Since I already have 186 videos uploaded on YouTube, I don't think I can blog about each one that I have already uploaded. So, what I will do is to blog something timely and correlate each video to it. Sounds fair? OK, wish me luck! Onto my next blog for my latest video coming right up!
