QOTW 2013: Week 1: Not another NYE post! Here we go again.

Hey all,

In the past week the subscriptions to this site have skyrocketed! What a way to start 2013! We are excited, a little shocked and very thankful indeed. We want to send a special thank you to Mr. Danny Brown for featuring our blog on his 5 Bloggers to watch in 2013 post. We cannot thank Danny enough for that vote.

Part way through 2012 we started a feature called Quote of the Week whereby we created a compilation page for the quote that resides at the top right of our home page. We shared our quotes weekly through the social channels and left it at that. The quotes were meant as much to motivate us as it was to share with our community. As I look back on last year’s quotes I smiled. We certainly featured some interesting folks. I noticed the pattern in my thinking and how it influenced what I chose for a quote each week and as I reflect back on last years events I remember most of those early Monday mornings searching for a quote that would get me fired up for the week.

I had a lot of fun with this feature and will continue to share it. I hope you will come along for the ride and hey, maybe you can share a few here are there yourself. We always love to hear what inspires people!

Here’s a link to the quotes for 2012 which includes a very brief explanation as to the purpose for us creating Quote of the Week

To start 2013 we are going with 2012′s Person of the Year! 

Somehow that seems fitting.

 

Enjoy your week!

Best,

 Happy New Year Lori  Asa matter of fact i do post the QOTW on Facebook. That's the nature of social shares though isn't it. You can't see everything and it depends greatly on when you post.

 

Thanks for noticing and thanks for sharing. I am looking forward to visiting LFI in the new year. Your site has been a great inspiration to me over the past year. Cheers!
