Happy Birthday Inspire Bohemia!

Happy 2nd Birthday to Inspire Bohemia!  

 

Some call it a blogiversary a.k.a. blog anniversary, but I like to call it a birthday because on August 8, 2009 a vision was born!  That's right, my boyfriend encouraged me to start this blog as an outlet for all of my artistic interests and passions and I thought it would also be a wonderful way to inspire others to be creative and unique in their own lives.  I'm not a big believer in conforming or aligning ones style with what is proclaimed to be fashionable or "in style," rather I believe in listening to oneself.  Only you know what you like, society shouldn't tell anyone what to like/buy/etc.  It is with that premise that I formed this blog: Inspire Bohemia is aimed at inspiring you to discover more about your design style and your artistic and creative capabilities as well as encouraging you to have the confidence to define and build upon those ideas.  Too often I have heard people say they have no taste, no style, no talent...  Not true!  You aren't giving yourself enough credit.  Get inspired and get creative with your space, nothing is wrong as long as you love it. 

The past two years have been incredible, so many new readers have joined Inspire Bohemia and I've gotten such wonderful comments, tips and feedback.  I am very very thankful to have such a wonderful audience for my many passions and interests - thank you all!  I hope I can continue to inspire you to live a unique and creative life articulated through art and driven by passion!  Cheers, here's to another wonderful year of blogging and many many more!

I am pretty ashamed that I forgot to do a Happy Birthday post for Inspire Bohemia's one year anniversary this past Sunday August 8th! *GASP* Wow... I even mentioned it in Friday's post, but it seems the weekend got the best of me and I forgot to do it after all. Oh well, better late than never!

That's right folks, as of August 8, 2010 Inspire Bohemia is one year old! I can hardly believe it has already been a year, then again with the days, weeks and months zipping by it shouldn't come as a surprise! 2009 was the year that I finally decided to use blogging as an outlet for my passions and sharing the things I love with whoever cares, 2009 is the year Inspire Bohemia was born!.. haha... Things have only gotten better over the last year, in fact on Monday Inspire Bohemia got the highest level of visitor traffic ever, with 215 total hits and 106 unique visitors, check it out on my visitor traffic chart for this month:

Yellow bars show total number of page visits per day since the beginning of August, the red line shows last month's data for comparison... numbers have gone up, sweeeeet!

I like checking the traffic on my blog because it gives me a sense of accomplishment, and the knowledge that at least there are some people out there reading and enjoying Inspire Bohemia.

To date Inspire Bohemia has 106 followers, a.k.a. "The Bohemians," and I'd like to thank each and every one of you for your interest, support and sweet comments! I am glad my posts have inspired each of you in some way, however small, and I hope that I can continue to do so for a long time to come!

Anywho, I have been busy putting up shelving, consolidating succulents together into large decorative planters, rethinking my living room's layout and design, painting things turquoise, and keeping up with my clutter! AHHH! I will have some posts on all this to share with you soon... In the meantime, have a great day!
