Giveaway – Celebrate My 1 year Blogiversary – For a MONTH!

**********************CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED********************

On December 7th, 2010 I wrote my first blog post Initiating.

My Twitter friends really HAVE to go read it, I say “Well I’ve tried Twitter and found it boring, I’m just not the type to tweet” Oh how times change over a year, now I have the Twitter bug and you can find me @SoberJulie tweeting often to say the least!

Frankly I can’t remember exactly why or how I began to blog, this is one of the joys of short-term memory issues…everything is a surprise! Within that first post I said: “I’m slow in thought and want a space to write how I feel to help me be “REAL” in this Journey which is my life.”

That statement is true today, I seek to learn, grow, connect and be “REAL” in order to experience this journey fully.

This year has been full of experiences, speaking as a BLOGGER (I’m awarding it with caps today) I had no idea how this community of people in the blogisphere would affect me. I’ve been welcomed into this fantastic fellowship with open arms and have seen what open hearts and positive support can do. Within the blogging community I’ve experienced friends lives, births, deaths and everything in between and I’ve been learning and growing through it all!

Sober Julie Doing Life seems to have a life of its own at times, it’s brought a World of supportive people to me. I’m grateful for this and want to reflect this over the next month by celebrating with you all. I have contacted some amazing bloggers who will be guest-posting for me, I will be hosting a blogger meet up in early December and there are some fantastic companies who have blessed me with products to giveaway to my readers!!!!!

Can you tell I love a good celebration???

Is anyone fist-pumping with me here??

If you’ve read anything on Sober Julie Doing Life you’ve probably noticed that I use a lot of photos. I love to take photos and when I use them here it helps me document the memory more clearly. I have always used Corel software for editing my photos and recently I met up with reps from Corel at a blog conference.

Corel has provided me with an AMAZING gift to giveaway to one lucky reader for my Blogiversary!!
