Sharing My 30 Day Blogging Challenge Experience
I felt is appropriate and timely to share my 30 Day Blogging Challenge experience. We are down to the last two days of the month of August and what an experience it has been! Life changing actually on many levels. I couldn’t help but think of it as running a race where the crowds are cheering us on. I can actually see and here the crowds now.
Blogging Everyday 5 Days a Week Has Been a Push
Blogging everyday 5 days a week has been a push for me. I’d find myself writing my posts early in the morning to leave the majority of my day for the other tasks that need to be done in my business. There were times that I was bone tired having suffered both adrenal and thyroid exhaustion so finding the right balance can be tricky.
I Created the 30 Day Blogging Challenge for Encouragement
I created the 30 Day Blogging challenge as a way to encourage myself and others to stay the course. Maybe for some blogging everyday comes naturally however I found for me, I felt just a bit out of balance with the continued push to create great content without overwhelming myself. I am so glad I did the challenge because it did get easier to write and come up with good content and stay consistent. Sometimes pushing can be a good thing. I almost saw this as sprint for the month of August.
Developing Powerful Blogging Habits
I realized I created some powerful blogging habits that will last a lifetime because of my involvement in our 30 Day Blogging Challenge. When you first do something it takes more time and is more difficult but with time and persistence it gets easier and you do get into a runner’s high. Now I feel in some respects I am becoming the unconscious competent in my blogging. This is when you can do certain things without conscious thought.
Took My Blogging Game to a Whole New Level
I know the 30 Day Blogging Challenge Took My Game to a Whole Other Level. I actually feel comfortable thinking of myself as a blogger and one who gives great content to my readers.
Listening to My Heart and Striking the Balance
Listening to my heart though I realize I will post 3 times per week on my blog. At least at this point I feel this is more doable for me and will allow me to take a bit more time in research and creating ongoing great content that serves my readers and viewers. I find this pacing will give me a chance to breathe and continue to enjoy the journey. Of course I will allow my heart to be the guide in the frequency of my blog posts. I know my heart always knows the way.
Other Internet Projects
I have some other internet marketing projects and marketing funnels to create so pacing myself will allow me the time to create in these other areas as well. I am all about creating a well rounded internet marketing experience.
Thanks to Ty Tribble the Inspiration for the 30 Day Blogging Challenge
Thanks to Ty Tribbles strategies I found myself able to produce more content quicker incorporating reviews of other blogger’s content. What a blessing and I learn so much from both reading, reviewing content, plus syndicating the content of other blogs. This process is invaluable to your blogging experience and the growth of taking your blogging to the next level. In fact reading and syndicating other blogger’s content is a sure way to keep your content fresh and to be on top of the latest strategies and great content within you niche on the web.
The Spirit of Collaboration and Cooperation with the Blogging Community
I also love the spirit of cooperation and collaboration that exists within the blogging community. It is an amazing community and I am grateful to now be a bona fide blogger. The strength of this community is extraordinary. Blogging and being a blogger is a sacred community, creating life long friendships and collaborations. Larry has been a surfer and surfers are a really tight knit community/family and I think of us blogger’s in the same way.
Overwhelmed with the Response to the 30 Day Blogging Challenge on Facebook
I have also been overwhelmed with the response on Facebook. I believe we now have over 320 members of the 30 Day Blogging Challenge. Though not everyone is posting daily 5 days a week, there is an outpouring of support. People have indicated to me that they are moving forward with their blog because the inspiration and support they are experiencing through the 30 Day Blogging Challenge.
Grateful to All the Other Bloggers Who Chose to Join Me
I am so grateful for the multitudes of bloggers who chose to join me in this challenge. It has been very rewarding and encouraging for all of us. It feels amazing that a decision I made to encourage myself has blessed so many others. I threw the pebble out into the pond and the ripples are spreading ever outward with no end in sight.
In the End It is About the Connection
At the end of the day our quest is to connect, to love and to be loved. Blogging is a way to connect with others, to share our inner most desires and passions, to be seen and known by others. As we progress on our blogging journey we become the benefactors of the gifts of knowledge, insights and experience that we in turn get to share with all who come to our home on the internet, our blog.
The 30 Day Blogging Challenge Spawned Life Long Rewards
For me it is striking the balance that will allow me to blog for the rest of my life. This is the gift that I will be able to keep on giving by staying in the game. The 30 Day Blogging Challenge has dramatically increased my readership, new relationships, and business partners. I have no doubt that the rewards will continue to unfold and enrich my life. Thank you for participating and being apart of my life.
Thanking My Wonderful Husband Larry Pollock
I also want to thank my husband Larry Pollock for joining me in this 30 Day Blogging Challenge. What a blessing and gift to share this together. Thank you Larry for all that you are in my life and for being on this journey with me. As tears well up in my eyes, stepping out and creating declarations have power and magic within them. The 30 Day Blogging Challenge taught me yet again, the power of our relationships is everything in life.

Faith I commend you and the challenge you took on with the 30 days of Blogging. I’m not sure I could hold up under that stress. My blogging takes a lot of time and rewriting because I tend to think I have to be perfect in not only grammar and tense but unique in word structures. I’m just a mess when comes to writing and once a week is really all I want to be able to do. And even at that I sometimes think I’m not communicating the messages I want to. But some people like you seem to thrive on the challenge and I praise you for it. Go get em my Lady.

Val,
It wasn’t always easy hence the term challenge but extremely rewarding and fun. Because of my own health challenges though my intention is to re-write that story I am always touching base with myself for that balance. Ultimately I must demonstrate love towards myself so I can ultimately give the best of myself. Thank you for your continued encouragement.

Good day, Faith..
I totally enjoyed reading this particular post. Your posts *and comments* continue to be an inspiration for me as I seek to grow and develop as an online marketer and life coach.
While there is much I appreciated in your comments, this one certainly was a joy for me to read:
“Thank you Larry for all that you are in my life and for being on this journey with me. As tears well up in my eyes, stepping out and creating declarations have power and magic within them. The 30 Day Blogging Challenge taught me yet again, the power of our relationships is everything in life.”
All the best to you both as you march forward in the pursuit of your dreams!
