Today is the last day of June. Today I’m finishing this #blogjune challenge, where I’ve tried diligently to blog every day. This was my second attempt at #blogjune, and I’m proud to say that I was a lot more consistent this year!
So, according to my calendar, I am one year older. I wonder however, whether or not it’s possible to measure if I am one year wiser?!
I certainly had a lot of new experiences this year. Since my last #blogjune, I have (in chronological-ish order):
– Studied an elective outside the LIS sphere. I didn’t like it.
– Added six new clients to my new “Bloxham Marketing” business.
– Started, and finished, gymnastics lessons for Miss 7.
– Started, and have continued with, swimming lessons for Miss 7.
– Used the #blog12daysxmas challenge to start blogging regularly again.
– Read so many Jane Austen novels that I initiated the #blog5daysAustenese challenge… and had four brave fellow bloggers join me in the journey!
– Presented a 3 hour digital marketing presentation live on LEQ TV.
– Plucked up enough courage to see if Mr 3 was autistic.
– Had my daughter’s eyes tested, and sure enough Miss 7 now wears glasses for reading.
– Supported a good friend who was doctoring in New Guinea. We’d meet each other daily, online, and hold each other accountable in our Christian walks.
– Scored a HD in INN530 Online Information Services, courtesy of the truly wonderful @katiedatwork (still can’t believe that one. SOOOOOOOOOO majorly STOKED!!!!!!)
So… older? Yes. That bit’s inevitable. Wiser? I’m not so sure. I certainly hope so, though! And here ends the #blogjune challenge for another year. I wonder what will happen between this one and the 2013 version? I guess we’ll just have to wait and see!
Thanks for sharing this journey with me, dear readers. Your support is far more of an encouragement than you could ever know. You guys rock!!!

What a great challenge’s you have achieved. So proud of you. Only wish I could write the way you do, but enjoy, inspired and challenged with your words.
Thanks so much, Wendy!!! Have a fantastic day today (isn’t it great that the sun’s finally out!!!) 🙂
Wow! What a busy year!
Although I haven’t been following your blog for very long, in the short time that I HAVE been following, I’d say that yes, you are more wiser.
I mean, you have had to deal with Mr 3’s diagnosis and although you have had some difficult times since then, you always get through it and have learnt something new in the process. So in my mind, yes, you have gotten older (as you said, inevitable), but you have also become wiser.
Keep up the good work Mrs B 😀
Thanks so much, Jo! 🙂
