The Zhush Turns One!

Exactly one year ago today....the inexplicable compulsion to start a blog finally won out.  With this post, the journey began.

Celebratory Chanel "Blog Birthday" Cupcakes!

I had no idea what to expect, and frankly, during those early days I had no idea what to even write.   Feeling quite uncertain,  I kept my new found hobby under wraps for several months, telling only my closest family members.

Early days:  The original banner...awww, they grow up so fast!

But over time I "came out" to all my friends and family, and even started to find my voice.  And, while I look back on some of those early posts and cringe...I'm thrilled that I took a leap of faith and started this blog. Never did imagine that I would be meeting other bloggers and making strong connections and friendships along the way.

I feel like the girl in the old "AHA" Take On Me music video who jumped through the television into the cartoon...

 

like I literally jumped through the computer monitor into this whole new and amazing life!  And, I am so glad that you have taken me on...

 And, now I'm truly hooked!  I can't believe it's been a year already...

 I really want to thank everyone for supporting The Zhush.  Now that my blog is almost on solid foods, I have so many fun things planned for the upcoming year...I sincerely hope that you will travel along this road with me.
