It’s been one year here with you guys!

Last Thursday it’s been a year since I started this blog ☺, but let me start from the beginning.

Nope, we won’t go to this beginning πŸ˜„, but yes, that’s simple Ula about 24 years ago when she had no idea that one day she’ll have over 10k followers πŸ˜ƒ

I had more than 3 blogs in my life before this one (all the previous ones were written in Polish though). I’ve always had this passion to share my thoughts “with the world”. If some of my advice helps others in any way, that’s even more rewarding for me ☺. I deleted all my old blogs, oh no, sorry there is one still there (in Polish). Anyway, it was some time since I hadn’t had one and this idea came to my mind again, but this time (as you can see) I wanted to write in English since I’m in Canada and my boyfriend doesn’t speak Polish and I wanted him to know what I write as well ❀☺. Last, but not least as I wrote in my first post, English is the most common language in the world (and many Polish people know it as well) so it has all worked out for me ☺.

I’ve started this blog in March 2016 and I published first, second, third post and there was nothing, meaning barely any comments and 2 or 3 views a day. I talked with my boyfriend if I should continue doing this and he said that if I like it then yes. That was an excellent answer for me ☺. I like writing, I enjoy it a lot so I was doing it out of passion (and still am! ☺) and it didn’t matter for me that I didn’t have many visitors back then. Now seeing you all here, all the comments and all the likes – I am so thrilled, because you encourage me to write even more. I appreciate each and every comment and like and all the views/ visits to my blog. I love seeing comments such as: “thank you” or “you do a great job” or “I love your blog”.
THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!!! ☺

I cannot express how much I appreciate you all here and sometimes I say to my boyfriend that I cannot believe that over 10,000 people have visited my blog and decided to click follow or put their email address to subscribe. I cannot believe that I have so many likes, so many comments and views. I’m sure of one thing though, that I’ll never take pride in myself, because of those numbers ☺.
Also, I have my boyfriend, my best friend (and they’re both will keep me grounded if it’s necessary ☺) and my parents’ life lessons in my head (forever) to be humble (!) and respect everyone (no matter who they are and what they do).

My parents and I many years ago πŸ’›β˜Ί

I think that the more successful my blog is, the more humble I become.

I’m writing this post not to show what are the “numbers” on my blog, but I’m writing to say that I thank each and every one of you for being here once, twice or regularly. This journey on this blog wouldn’t be as fun and as exciting without you guys! ☺

I bow to all of you! ☺

Last, but not least I’d like to say how appreciative I am for my boyfriend being in my life who believes in me so much so that I believe in myself more! Thank you my love!!! ❀☺❀

“She believed she could so she did” ☺

  4. I have been blogging since 2011 and have nowhere near the number of followers that you have. Maybe, one of your future blogs should tell us the secret to your success.

    1. Maybe being active and supportive on other blogs and being active on the social media, but anyway it’s just work and patience.

  6. Happy blog anniversary πŸ™‚ My blog is only months old, and yes sometimes it feels like I’m only writing for myself but that is fine. I too, do it because I enjoy writing and if someone is entertained or informed by one of my posts that’s great. Likes and comments are a nice boost to continue and very much appreciated though.

  21. My mother is from Poland. I’m sad I never learned the language. She visits her sister who lives out there every year. I’ve been there once. You are very beautiful and I like your posts. Happy blog-aversary!

  33. I’m curious how you got the numbers? You mentioned that in the beginning you were having only 2 views per day, but even that sound like a feat for me. Do you engage in marketing? Do you know a number of individuals who use WordPress? Is it the content? Generating content comes natural for me; generating traffic is a different story.

    1. It’s work and patience 😊. Of course, content is very important, but being active and supporting other blogs as well ☺. That’s all, no hidden secret 😊.
