Show Me What You've Done

One big catalyst for the big  blog overhaul that I did a couple weeks ago, was that I was thinking about transferring this blog somewhere else. I kinda sorta feel like I maybe have outgrown the name. I'm not 26 anymore so... yeah ... I was going to change everything up just for a new name... Is that shallow?

Ultimately, I decided though that I didn't want to lose anyone by moving somewhere else. This blog has been pretty darn good to me and it doesn't seem right to cast it aside. Used. Alone. Never to be blogged on again... That seems really sad. So here I remain blogging away. And it feels pretty good. Nothing like a new "outfit" to put a smile on your face.

There is one feature I'd really like to add to this blog though to make it more my "own." If you've been clicking around, one of the changes you might have noticed is the button on the right that says "Done Something Good? Let's Show Off How Awesome You Are!" If you haven't seen it, go give it a click.






I've been blogging for awhile now, working towards my goals, and I feel like it's high time to show off what other people are doing too. There are no constraints, it can be anything that you've done that you're proud of. There are only two criteria: That you did it and that it makes you feel good.

If "anything" is too vague for you, here are some ideas of things you might want to share:

- Book Reviews (good or bad!)
- Fun Dog Tricks (you had to train them!)
- Charity Work (fundraisers, volunteering)
- DIY Projects (room makeovers, refinishing furniture, etc.)
- Weight Loss (milestones, goal weight, healthy changes)
- Fitness Goals/Milestones (running races, lifting weights)
- Financial Goals (paying off debt, saving more money)
- Tutorials (figuring out a "how-to")
- Anything from your "Bucket List" (any life goal is huge!)


Seriously, it can be anything.

You can share something that reflects what you talk about on your blog, or this might be a great opportunity to show off something you've done that doesn't quite mesh with your usual blog topic. If you don't have a blog - that's fine too! You don't have to be a blogger to strut your stuff. :)

 If you have something you'd like to show off, you can send me an email at kate@twenty-six-to-life.com or fill out the form found here.

  6. Fun! I like it.

    And I have to say, as someone who moved my blog and also doesn't post all that often, that I definitely lost a lot of traffic when I migrated. Part of it is definitely that I can't get my feedburner feed to work correctly now though.
