Back in 2012 I woke up one day with the crazy notion of blogging every day for a year. Yeah, 365 consecutive days. Nothing wrong with a little challenge, is there?
Wanted to see if I had what it took. From the ideas to the staying power. No particular focus. No theme. Whatever popped into my head was it. The topic de jour.
Well guess what? I did it. And, after all these years, I’m still here. Not necessarily every day but at least once a week.
You and I, we’ve had some great exchanges. I’m looking forward to many, many more. Hope you feel the same.
365 And Counting 
Fransi, best of luck on the new blog; you’re already off to a great start.
Thanks so much. Glad you like it. I still have my other blog but here I can let my hair down and have some fun.
truly motivational, looking forward to sharing your ramblings.
Thank you! And back at you! Have a great weekend.
Thank you for stopping by my blog, and good luck in your journey! Sounds like it’ll be interesting!
You’re welcome. Looking forward to reading your posts. I’m enjoying writing 365 so far. It’s a great exercise, I think. I’m enjoying meandering around so many different ideas. Who knows what will be next?
I nominated you for the One Lovely Blogger Award! For more details: http://manningtreearchive.com/2012/10/27/lovely-blogger-award/
Thank you so much! I will check it out when I get home.
Hallo
I’ve a christmas card for you! : ) You can pick it up here http://summer4soul.wordpress.com/2012/12/11/1022/
Have a nice day
Sweet greetings, Summer
Thanks. Enjoy the holidays.
Love it! Please check out my blogs, yours is amazing! 365 is an awsomely origional idea, you must very commited to post every day!
Thanks. I am. I’m also stubborn. If I say I’m going to do something I can’t turn my back on it. Both a blessing and a curse. Can you give me a link to your blog? I can’t seem to get to it.
Sure – Here it is!

Thanks. I love it. It’s great to be passionate about something. Follow your heart. It will never let you down or disappoint you.
Thanks, that’s a nice way to think of life. Also, thanks for following!
My pleasure.
Fransi,
Special big thanks to FP, for finding you for me!
Thoroughly enjoyed the story of your ‘Little Feline Darlings’, and everything I’ve read. Mosey-ing on over to your other blog, too.
Thanks for adding me; I hope to not disappoint.
All the Best to You!
Thank you! You won’t disappoint. No worries there. Glad you enjoyed meeting my darlings. They are rightfully taking full credit for all the attention my blog is getting since WordPress found them.
Oh! I (almost) forgot to say, “Congratulations!” to them, and they’re Mom!
We all thank you!
This is such an interesting challenge, and I loved your post about the cats. It really made me laugh.
Also thanks for subscribing to my blog 🙂
Thank you! Glad the cats made you laugh. They do the same to me, every day.
Like your blog a lot.
I have enjoyed visiting your blog, especially the cat post! I hope your house has survived the experiment!
Thank you! House and my sanity intact, thanks. Cats content and, to their credit, they are trying hard not to be smug 🙂
I’ve read a few of your entries and enjoy your writing. I hope that you continue writing even after the 365 days, maybe? 🙂
Thank you. Well I have another blog that is a business blog. There I talk about what I do for a living. Writing, marketing and strategic consulting.
But this blog is fun and I get to write for my own pleasure so I am sure I will continue.
Your blog reminds me of my own blog. I write just about anything. Most of the time random stuff, anything that cross through my mind 🙂
This is something that I should try. I love to write, but tend to get side tracked with everything else in life and it doesn’t happen. I look forward to reading more and being inspired to take time to write.
Thanks! If you love it, do it. Once you’re in the mind set it gets easy to block off some time. You don’t have to start with everyday. Do it once a week. Do it at the same time, on the same day each week and it will beckme like an ‘appointment’ you have, that you don’t want to miss.

I have nominated you for a Very Inspiring Blogger Award. Please see this link at
http://wp.me/piVRT-2M6 Congratulations!
You are very kind. I have enjoyed an embarrassment of riches, recently, here on WordPress. And so I find myself at a bit of a loss for words. Thank you.
LOL, I have just nominated you for this award too! I find your daily posts very inspiring, keep it up! 🙂
http://cupcaketravels.wordpress.com/2012/12/30/a-blog-award-thankyou/
Thank you SO much! And congratulations to you! I love your blog as well so I know it is well-deserved in your case. My cup definitely runneth over. I have been awarded this before. Have no idea if there are ‘limits’ on it, but I do appreciate it; and will definitely share the wealth with other bloggers I follow. Happy New Year! All the best for a happy, healthy, peaceful, word-filled 2013.
Thank you, and Happy New Year to you too, I hope it will be wonderful for you and your loved ones.
Hi Fransi,
I’ve nominated you for a couple of awards… I see that you already have a Very Inspiring Blogger Award, but I decided you were inspiring enough to deserve two! And the other is The Reality Blog Award. It has no rules, so it should be easy to accept.
Thank you so much again for my award — and for introducing me to your terrific blog. I love the premise and your writing style…and I am looking forward to catching up — and to reading your future posts.
Warmest wishes for the New Year…
Oh, thank you SO much. Actually I have had the very inspiring blogger award 2 times already. It was my 2nd time when I nominated you.
So if it is ok with you, much as I appreciate the sentiment, maybe there’s another blogger you’re following who’s never had it. And deserves it.
I would be thrilled to accept the other one. But just so you know, what makes me the happiest is that you enjoy my blog. So thank you for that.
And, last but not least, to be considered an inspiring writer is a dream come true for me. But YOU, are an inspiring woman, an inspiring human being, and there’s no award I can think of out there that comes anywhere close enough to doing justice to explaining how much you inspire me.
Just saying … :).
OOPS. I have been given the very inspiring blogger award twice, but that is not when I nominated you. I nominated you the second time I was given blog of the year. Clearly I have had way too much of a good thing. Sorry. I did want to claify. Thank you again!!
Thank you so much, Fransi! I can’t tell you how much your kind words mean to me.
I think I said before that there are no words to show you how moved I am by your generous compliments, but it is true…
And I am so glad to have met you & to have the opportunity to get to know you better through your blogs… With warmest thoughts & gratitude for you…
Thank YOU. My blog tomorrow is about the reality blog award. Thanks again for that. Never would I have believed when I first started blogging four years ago that WordPress would turn out to be, what it has turned out to be: a magical place where you get to know a truly extraordinary group of people. How lucky for us.
Best wishes for the New Year to you, as well. It goes without saying I’ll be with you, reading along, fighting with you, and rooting for you, every step of the way. thanks for sharing your journey with us.
Hi Fransi, hope you are having a nice evening. I have received 6 awards this week and I definitely would like to pass one on to you, just follow this link to find out about it. http://grndmachris.wordpress.com/2013/01/17/a-fantastic-week-thank-you/
Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
My goodness!! Six at one time! Good for you. Congratulations. WOW. That has to be some kind of a record. Many thanks for sharing with me. It is very kind of you. I will ‘collect’ it in the next couple of days. Congratulations again.
Take your time, there’s never any rush. Enjoy your Friday.
thanks. You too.

Thanks so much!
This was a charming idea! A little like Julia & Julia and yet the only ingredients you need is your day!
Wow! Thank you! Hope you continue to find my day interesting.
Hello! You have most likely been given this before, but we wanted to nominate you for the Bouquet of Three Award. You’re doing an amazing job! The details are at the end of this post here: http://wakeupyourluck.wordpress.com/2013/05/28/the-bouquet-of-three-award/
Regardless, keep going with the posts – you can do it!

Really appreciate this, thank you. I actually haven’t been given this particular award before. But I am extremely fortunate because I have received more than my fair share. Which is why I have a moratorium on accepting any more. There are so many bloggers here, on WordPress, who deserve the recognition and haven’t yet gotten it. So I hope you take this in the spirit in which it is intended. And I hope you soon discover another blogger, or one you already know, who deserves this. Many thanks again. It means a lot to me that you enjoy reading my blog.
That’s alright! You know we thought of you at least! x
Exactly. And I appreciate it.
I’m incredibly impressed to your commitment to blogging every day. I look forward to catching up on what I missed 🙂
Thanks very much. Tomorrow’s day 300. I hope I don’t monopolize too much of your time 🙂
I just nominated you for the ‘ Very Inspirational Blogger Award’. See it HERE: http://kerrichronicles.com/2013/06/03/very-inspirational-blogger-award/. And enjoy, my friend, it is well deserved.
Thank you so much. It is very much appreciated. I hope you take this in the spirit in which it is intended. I am very fortunate, in that my blog has been nominated for many awards. As a result last year I decided I would have a moratorium on accepting them in the hopes that more bloggers, who are talented but as yet unrecognized, get some of that recognition. The fact that you, and so many others, read my blog, choose to follow me and take the time to comment is an award in and of itself. It is very rewarding and much appreciated. Many thanks and I hope you understand.
What a great idea! Thanks for sharing this with me. You are right, it is an Award in itself having others follow and read our blogs.
Thank you!

Hey there, I just nominated you for the Very Inspiring Blogger Award. See here http://parrotsonthepowerline.wordpress.com/ to accept. Thanks for being a great read!
Thank YOU, for reading, liking and now nominating me. I am very lucky. I have already received this award, although my ‘visual’ is different. So can I ask you to give it to another blogger you follow? Let’s spread the wealth. I really do appreciate your nomination. And congratulations to you! Well done.
Can you finish the lyrics to the camp song:
Camp Kinni Kinnick is the camp for me.
Drives away all adversity.
It’s right on the lake.
My sister used to sing them all the time….thank you
Cannot remember the lyrics, sorry. Now it will drive me nuts 😁
