If I actually had a bucket list (and really, I should take some time to translate those nebulous plans and wishes into writing, shouldn’t I?), today would be a banner day. That’s right – today a blogging wish of mine has come true, and I can mark one of those as-yet-as-to-be-created bucket list checkboxes as complete… one of my blog posts has been chosen for syndication on BlogHer!
Stepping Out from Behind a Pseudonym:
Starting to Blog Under My Real Name
I’ve had a few of my posts featured on BlogHer in the past – which was a thrill each and every time – but this is the first time one of my posts has been chosen for syndication.
My day has officially been made!
I am so thankful for BlogHer, both for choosing my post and for the opportunities and support they offer to bloggers. If you haven’t yet discovered and made a home for yourself on BlogHer, I encourage you to check it out. And while you’re there, please read my post and add your comments!
It’s a happy day!

Thank you! 🙂
Congratulations! I am super happy for you as you continue to find success in the blogging world. So far, I’ve found blogging extremely rewarding, but I am still in the early stages of building my audience and getting more involved with online media companies such as BlogHer. Thank you for sharing your success from someone who needs to know it’s all possible.

I appreciate your blog and I applaud your success! As a newborn blogger, I am already struggling with true identity issues.

Thank you very much! I think it’s an issue each of us has to deal with at some point (and maybe more than once, as life situations change).

I’m happy for you, achieving a goal on your yet-to-be written-list! Way to go! I’m still pretty new to BlogHer as well, and have no idea how to use it (I will confess, I’m not even sure exactly what “syndicated” means. *blushes*) But I know it’s a good thing, and I hope it’s the start of many other good things for you!!
