TGIF Friends!  This has been such an amazing week.  Before I headed to San Antonio to compete in the SBA (Small Business Administration) InnovateHER Pitch competition (more details on that coming in a later post) I got a surprise visit from one of my dearest blog buddies, Chelle!  Chelle writes a blog called EveryDay Polish and we connected when I hosted a GRIT Tank top giveaway last year.  I asked my readers, “What does GRIT mean to you?” and Chelle won by providing this answer…

Keep in mind that Chelle lives in Connecticut and we’ve never met in person but we keep in touch online and have followed each other’s blogs of over a year.  I was overjoyed when she made trip to Texas and a surprise visit at my noon HIIT class on Monday!

Moments like these give me so much purpose and motivation.  I’m not going to lie, blogging and  running small business can be exhausting and overwhelming.  However, knowing that I’m able to positively impact the lives of others by simply being myself and sharing my life-story, is so amazing!

Have you connected with any of your blog buddies?

Wishing you a wonderful weekend!  xoxo, Brit
