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 😄, but yes, that’s simple Ula about 24 years ago when she had no idea that one day she’ll have over 10k followers 😃

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 💛☺

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!!! ❤☺❤

      1. You’re welcome! Thank you 😊. I’m doing my best, and I’m keeping a positive attitude.

  23. Simple Ula. Nice to hear that you have been succesful dealing with your blogs.

    Nothing is more precious than being beneficial to others. Writing is a choice to deal with, that’s why as long as it makes you happy, just keep doing it.

    I am an Indonesian, but sometimes I like reading your thoughts on your blog.
    I am also a blogger, but still newbie..

    Thanks Ula

  45. haha this post is gold! it’s just that people want the world over night but if you’re not passionate about what you do (aka doing something for fun or for yourself because you simply like it) you’ll give up sooner or later. Thank you for putting up the encouragement for other newbies out here, cheers!

    1. Thank you so much! ☺
      Yes, I know what you mean, that’s why not giving up is very important ☺. I’ll try to write a post about it soon on my blog ☺.

      1. That’d be awesome! As a newb myself, I’m definitely looking forward to the post 🙂 my current struggle is the sea of ideas I want to write about so I need to constantly remind myself to take it slow and enjoy exploring the new territory of blogging rather than storm forward without thinking.

      2. A good idea is to have a notebook or some electronic notepad for all those ideas to keep them somewhere and yes, just enjoy the “ride” meanwhile ☺.

      3. I do that! I think I’d go insane if I didn’t write them down somewhere because I’d constantly keep thinking of them 😀

  48. Thank you so much for all your amazing recommendations and please go on ! That’s a pleasure to read posts of a generous person like you ! ^-^
