So earlier today, I logged on to my blog and realized that March 1 isn’t so far away mainly because of my travel next week to London for the TRU London conference which I plan on discussing later this week. I was stressing that I wouldn’t reach my arbitrary goal of 8 blog posts this month. Yes, I set a goal. I’m extremely competitive by nature and once I attach a goal to most things, I must dominate the competition. You may be surprised to know that I’m the extroverted competitive type.
So each month for over the last 3 1/2 years, I have worked hard to post 8 times a month, and 98% of the time, I’ve accomplished my goal. And because I logged into my website this morning, I learned that I have been nominated for two separate categories for the Okie Blogger Awards in two separate categories: Best Business-Related Blog & Best Kept Secret.
The funny thing is I have not ever been nominated for a writing award in my adult life. The last writing award I received was in 1990 when I took first place in a writing competition held by the local Kansas county newspaper, the Holton Recorder. I was extremely proud of the honor and won a bike which is just about what every young kid in the country needs in their early years as their main form of transporation. Only later did I learn that an entire 5 entries had been received and two of which came from my family’s household, one from me and one from my younger sister.
Please visit the Oklahoma Blogger Awards website and check it out. While I do hope that you would find it in your heard to vote for me, I am extremely honored to be recognized among so many friends and fellow bloggers within the state I have called home for more than 4 years. The voting ends on February 14th, 2010 and you must be an Oklahoma blogger to enter.
