My current favorite song is Rachel Platten’s “This Is My Fight Song.”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LVxon65u3tA
Rachel is totally adorable. Her voice is so unique and strong.
And, while “pop-y,” Rachel is a bit off of the mainstream; I first heard of her a few years ago thanks to her single “1,000 Ships.” But, she came back on the scene with “This Is My Fight Song” and it’s is currently ranking high on music charts, being featured on promos for shows like Pretty Little Liars, Revenge, and Supergirl, and playing on repeat in my car.
I literally am sad when this song is over.
It’s a great windows down, belt it out, power ballad, not just for the strong beat, but the words.
The words are excellent.
I mean, haven’t you ever felt “like a small boat in the ocean?”
Everyone has. That’s life!
As a blogger, that’s also life on the internet. It’s noisy in this “blogger ocean” and sometime I feel like I am just a little peep.
But, as I approach Bloom’s Two Year Blogiversary at the end of May this line resonates with me:
It’s been two years, I miss my home
But, there’s a fire burning in my bones
I still believe
Yeah, I still believe
And, all those things I didn’t say
The wrecking balls inside my brain
I will scream them loud tonight
Can you hear my voice this time?
… Okay, so I don’t miss my home. I love my home!
But, it’s has been two years since I made my first post on Bloom. I didn’t even share it for another two months for fear of not keeping up with it.
I have barely kept a job for two years due to lack of interest, let alone kept up with a habit. (… Not proud of this; but, it is true.) But, in these two years I have learned that I really love writing… and, on good days, I am not too bad at it.
I have also learned that the more I write, the more I want to say. And, oh my gosh. Having thoughts like “wrecking balls inside my brain” is honestly all too real.
However, I know that not everyone would love to hear every single one of those wrecking balls, so I need your help.
Whether you have kept up with Bloom since the early days in 2013 or just started reading last week about my crazy girlfriends I would love your feedback.
Below is a SurveyMonkey link to a quick questionnaire to give me some insight on your feelings be it fears, challenges, frustrations or goals for gardening and cooking at home. As “Thank you” for your time, I am raffling off a $50 gift card to Amazon so share away and get more entries!
Armed with your feedback, I will work to grow Bloom around YOU.
As always, thank you so much for reading. I love you all.
… Here’s to the next two years!

By having so much content do you sometimes run into any problems of copyright violation? My website has lots of completely unique material I’ve either created myself or outsourced but it looks like a lot of it is popping it up all over the internet without my authorization. Do you know any ways to help reduce content from being stolen? I’d genuinely appreciate it.

I am brand new to operating a blog however I do write in my journal on a daily basis. I’d like to start a blog so I can share my personal experience and views online. Please let me know if you have any ideas or tips for new aspiring blog owners. Thankyou!

The other day, while I was at work, my cousin stole my apple ipad and tested to see if it can survive a 40 foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My apple ipad is now broken and she has 83 views. I know this is completely off topic but I had to share it with someone!
