It has been a remarkable week for The Broke Socialite. It's as simple as this: each day I am closer to my dreams coming true. As I revealed yesterday, I've a new BlogTalk Radio Show set to launch in a few days and I'm near hyperventilation based on my level of excitement.
I'd also like to share another TBS project in the works. As you have learned by reading the blog for the past year, I am the stepmom to a remarkable young man. When I met his Dad, Gareth was a roly-poly, snaggle-toothed little fella of 7 years. We've learned and grown together for almost a decade and it has mostly been a great experience. I remember, though, how afraid I was when we tiptoed through the garden of being a little blended family. There I was: a new wife and trying to figure that out with the responsibility of a child. There were certainly some pitfalls but many more successes. When I think about it, there really weren't a lot of resources (oh, believe me...I searched) for a new stepmom. So now that Gareth is about to transition to the next phase of his life (*tears*) and us to ours. I thought it'd be cool to create an interactive forum for stepmoms (stepdads are welcomed, as well). So...drumroll, please...on December 9 at 9 PM EST, I will launch a weekly live web television show on MomTV entitled, "UnWicked: The Modern StepMom's Guide To Keeping Her Cool". There will be more information forthcoming over the next few weeks so stay tuned.
Finally, this week, I found that The Broke Socialite received recognition from the Atlanta-Journal Constitution in its 'Best of the Big A' Favorite Local Blogger category. I was first runner-up in the popular vote and first runner-up in the editors' choice. First of all, peruse the list of finalists...I was in remarkable company but to think that little ol' me was in the midst of this mix, makes me swoon. Thanks so much to those who nominated me!
I hope you'll continue to enjoy this ride with me.
Do have a great weekend!
Anyone have remarkable plans?
Well, I am so proud of you. I count it a privilege to have come to know you through the wonder that is social media. You have been a source of inspiration and encouragement for me, hints the nickname Sensei. You are a light to this world in word and deed. We are definitely richer for having shared time and space with you. May the blessings of the Lord continue to overtake you, as your dreams unfold. Thank you for sharing your life and gifts with us. It is appreciated more than you know. Congrats. Hugs. Prayers.
