The Girl Behind The Blog- Begin Accomplish or Change Prompt

I know I say this every time, but I am totally excited about The Girl Behind The Blog this month! Its always true, because I love to get to see the you behind your blogs every single month. So, if you've yet to allow me to stalk you via video vlog with us, this is the perfect month to do so! And I know I say this every time as well but I am totally excited for my cohost this month, Lindsay from Trial By Sapphire!

I "met" her via the first round of this fabulous vlog link up if I do say so myself one week after she relaunched her blog. Since then it has been awesome to watch her blog grow and grow and grow and grow and grow! She is extremely intelligent, has a huge heart for others, and is one of the most encouraging people I've ever met.


Plus, she has amazing fashion sense.

No, we did not plan this nor did either of us see this outfit before the other one wore it.

Yes, I realize how awkward I look and how fabulous she looks.

Eeeeeeeeeither way, this month she's my co-host, and quite honestly the brains behind this whole operation. The minute I asked her to host with me she knew exactly what topic she wanted us all to vlog on. Having the gift of encouragement that she so OBVIOUSLY does, she wanted to have a place where we could all encourage each other. She told me that she realizes that we all have hopes, dreams, and even tangible goals that we can often put on the back burner because we think we're too busy. She said whether its a small milestone, a lifestyle change, or a monumental dream, she loves encouraging people to think big and explore their own potential. Sadly, if we miss out on this encouragement we may wake up one day and realize we never did get around to doing that one thing we always wanted to do.

Whether the outcome is sweet or sour, sometimes you've got to just take a big bite of life and try that one thing through the accountability and encouragement of your friends. Even if it turns out to be a lemon.

Obviously your thing wont turn out to be a lemon but how else could I sneak in this hilarious pic of 5ohBaby's first lemon? You can share things like "I really want to try a new recipe once a week" or "I need to be mindful of time spent with my family vs. time on blogs and social media" or "I'm planning on starting my own business" or "I'm nervous about it, but I want to record a vlog" Oh, hey!  Look at that!  Mission accomplished. 

Ok that last joke was totally stolen from Lindsay but I love it because its so perfect. So I'll steal this from her as well "Who knows what kind of good advice you may get from a reader or other blogger?  If nothing else, at least you'' have said it aloud, and possibly, gained a second wind to make it happen!"

LOVE.HER.GUTS.

So, Wednesday, July 25, 2012... one week from today... we invite YOU to take a big bite of your hopefully-not-a-lemon and let the blogging community in on a something you're hoping to begin, accomplish or change. And maybe make a few new friends. All you have to do is follow both of our blogs, post a button anywhere on your blog, and post a short vlog answering the following questions. You'll only have to link up on one of the host's blogs because our links will be interlinked. We really hope you join us. You can grab a button below to put up on your blog. Spread the word and lets get to know each other a little better! Here are the deets... feel free to make your video your own but please try to stick to these prompts and the time limit.
