My Inner Shakti Turns 5!

written by Parita 24 Comments

My Inner Shakti turned 5 yesterday!  FIVE!

You guys, if MIS was a kid, it would be going to kindergarten this year.  Ummm…what!?

Birthday cake with five candlesWhen I first started blogging, I never imagined I’d still be at it five years later.  But here I am!

A common question I get when people learn that I have a blog is “why do you do it?”  At the end of day, it boils down to the fact that this space gives me SO MUCH joy!  From the community, to the comment/email conversations, to the friendships I have made over the years, to the opportunities, to the simple fact that this little corner of the internet is all mine, My Inner Shakti fills my heart with pure joy!  I absolutely cannot imagine my life without it in some form or fashion.

And five years of blogging means that so many important thoughts, memories, and occasions “live” in this virtual space.  It blows me away that everything from our engagement to my sister’s engagement (and all the in between “stuff”) is documented here!

While most of the above would be possible with no readers/no engagement, it would also be no fun!  So whether you’ve been with me from the early days (my very first post!) or are a new reader, THANK YOU!!!  You all are a HUGE part of why MIS brings me so much freaking happiness!

So with that, be sure to eat some chocolate today in honor of MIS’ birthday…or a lot…whatever! 🙂

    […] It was my birthday this past weekend!  To be honest, I’m not a huge birthday person.  I love celebrating other people’s birthdays, but I don’t like making a big deal out of my own.  To put this in perspective, I was more excited about MIS’ birthday! […]
