Happy Birthday Queen MAB Manifesto!

Today is the one year anniversary of the birth of my blog.

When I met my friend, Amanda, in October of 2004, one of the first things she mentioned about herself was her blog, the Diva Domain. During 2005, I would visit her blog everyday, along with Oreos and Milk, my friend Emily's blog, and I became wrapped up the world of the "blogeois." After awhile, I wondered why I didn't have my own blog.

Writing has always been a passion of mine, one I have nurtured since childhood, but somehow it got lost over the years in term papers from college and press releases at my job. I was using my craft, but for simply a means to an end. My blog reawakened the creativity within me, and has been integral in my decision to finally begin to pursue the quintessence of who I really am.

As I mentioned before, 2006 wasn't a spectacular year. But as I reflect on the things I did "right" in 2006, the Queen MAB Manifesto comes to mind. Chapter One of my blog has ended, and I confidently begin Chapter Two. Thank you for indulging my passion by faithfully reading.
