I love when I find a blogger that I can connect with and really relate too! I dare say it is the best part about blogging. The interaction.
One of my goals […recently I forced myself to actually write some goals down >>> more on that later ] is to create a community of readers on this blog. A place where we can connect, meet new friends, learn from each other, and have f u n!
I have thought a lot about the best way to “create a community online.” I want this community to encourage creativity and learning. A place to share ideas, solutions, swap inspirations, and just chat with each other! That’s what the internet is all about right? Being social!

Won’t you be a part of this community?
Why don’t we all introduce ourselves! Even, if you feel like I personally know you already …. that’s not the point! The point is for all of us to meet each other and connect. Other readers have no idea who your are, or that you have a wonderful blog! Maybe you’ll find someone that lives local to you or has the same hobby! You never know!
So let’s all leave a comment telling …
a.) our name
b.) our blog address
c.) what state we live in
d.) one other little tid bit about ourselves [like maybe favorite ice cream, book, movie, if you're a harry potter fan, or your favorite ride at disneyland....] And remember to browse through the comments! Maybe meet a new friend or two! I will start and leave the first comment!

you’re actually the only other blogger i’ve found who’s in hawaii…but that could be because i’m still pretty new to the blogging scene.
My name is Jessica, but most people know me as Duckie. I lived in Wahiawa for most of my life, currently living on Guam and have been back and forth between Guam and Hawaii for the past few years (my other half is from Guam so I moved to Guam to be with him, plus the job market in Oahu right now for my career is slim). I’m still new to blogging, I love the beach and all things associated with it, and am an aspiring small business owner.
It is so nice to find another blogger from Hawaii!
a. I’m Rebekah
b. i blog at http://myprairievalentine.blogspot.com/
c. originally from michigan, I’ve lived in colorado for 4 years now. currently, in the very southeast rural part. i was an architect until the economy decided i should be a stay at home mommy, blogger and homemaker. i love my new “job”!!
d. i love snow and snowboarding is my ultimate zen time. i love learning how to make things from scratch. i love tomatoes drizzled with olive oil, sea salt and topped with mozzarella and fresh basil, with a nice slice of french baguette probably more than any other food in the world.
Thanks for introducing yourself! Have a great day!
