I cannot believe this little blog of mine is 8 years old today! Insanity!
I literally created MIS the same night I had a conversation with one of my best friends about how much I loved reading healthy living blogs and had the itch to start my own. She suggested I just do it, so I hung up the phone, finished cleaning, and Googled ‘how to start a blog.’ Within an hour, MIS was born!

This is pretty indicative of how I work. If I really put my mind to something, it’s going to happen one way or another. Also, it’s probably worth mentioning that I’m very much a ‘get it to 80% and take it from there’ vs. a ‘everything has to be perfect before I start’ kind of person. Speaking of…when I first launched MIS, it had a brown background and itty bitty font. You live and you learn!
Anyways, I’ve had big and small goals/visions for this little space of mine from the very beginning. Some I’ve accomplished, some I’m still working on, and some have changed completely. The one thing that remains the same is that I will always be true to who I am here. Anyone who reads my blog will get the most authentic and real version of me.
I have no idea what the next year has in store for MIS, but as long as it continues to include ‘meeting’ really cool people and getting to share my everyday stories and thoughts with people who want to connect, it’s going to be a great one!
THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart for all the support and love over the years! Means more than you’ll ever know. 🙂
Here’s to year 9…
