My Fourth Year Blogiversary

With everything that has been going on with my professional life lately, I forgot to write up a post on my fourth year blogiversary. Yes that is right folks, I’ve been blogging now for four years.

I have to thank Rebecca Bollwitt (aka Miss 604) for getting me started on blogging. She showed me how it easy it was to get started and showed me how to find my own voice online, and for that Rebecca, I thank you!

At first I wasn’t sure what to call myself. I knew my blog would just be for a select few people, but mainly it was for my family. I wanted to share what was going on in my life and show them what I was up to. Moving from Toronto to Vancouver, they had no real idea what I was doing. This was to be my digital realm, my digital voice.

These past four years I have met some great people from the blogger community, from Raul Pacheco, to Tanya Desrosiers, to Monica Hamburg, to John Bielher, to Tris Hussey, to Tyler Ingram and many more (see my blog roll on the side of this page). You have all been so influential to me and I thank you all from the bottom of my heart.

I can’t wait to continue to grow my audience and continue to grow as a blogger. These past four years have been amazing and I wouldn’t change my experience on here for anything! You’ve all experienced my trips across the world, my family gatherings, my events I’ve attended, and my photos along the way.

So what was my first blog post? Well here it is folks, my very first blog post – The Beginning

Happy 4 Years of Blogging Raul

HB604Blog 7 In this day and age when everyone and everyone’s mother has a blog, it’s always great to acknowledge those that have been blogging for sometime and do it very well. Last night Raul Pacheco-Vega, or as he is more commonly known in the social media space – Hummingbird604, celebrated his 4th year of blogging.

This man started off with only having a few readers, mainly his mother and family, and has grown his personal brand to over 1,000 readers daily. I’m in awe of how many posts this man can come up with in a day, the flow of constant ideas are something I strive to live up to.

He really is a passionate man and is very passionate about his content.

It was great to be apart of the festivities last night and below is short speech, directly from Raul himself, about the last 4 years of blogging.

Congratulations Raul!
