wow. you met Oprah! lucky!!

I was happy to see this post this morning as that is always the question when you sit down to put a piece together and ask yourself what are you doing this for? I can honestly say Diana that you (and I'm sure we spoke of this briefly early on) and a select few of other bloggers are the reason. What most of you don't know is that i developed my passion for blogging while off suffering from depression and anxiety from things both interior and exterior driven. It opened my eyes to a new to me way of expressing myself to an audience that can get to know the real me without putting stereotypes on the color or style of shirt I'm wearing or if I'm wearing the latest style. I blog about the everyday, the way i see it, those that influence it in the good and the bad. Those that know me will see that I'm passionate when reviewing products and put into it as much as possible and love the tech side of things. If it has a plug, takes batteries or powered for an alternate energy source, I either; own it, want it or dream about it. I have of course in my minds eye the most wonderful little family with a beautiful wife and DD7 at this point in time and spend any possible moment that I can with them as nobody can take away memories made. I incorporate my home life into my blogging life as much as possible so people know not only me but my family. Many people have gotten me where I am in this industry such as yourself; Lina Almeida, Tenille Lafontaine, Stacey Martin, Julie Elsdon-Height, Wanda Lynn Young, Cathy Canton...Paula Shuck, Margarita Ibbott the list goes on and on but these few among others had taken time and still do to answer questions for me and help me out as they have been there. I belong to Blogging Communities such as Sharon Vinderline's PTPA (parent tested parent approved) as well as Erica Ehm's YMC (yummy mummy club). O.k. condensing now as I'm writing a post and NOT a novel..lol. My blog is www.answerthetullyphone.com and is an open ended blog. It is not a personal blog per say, although most of it is based upon my opinions, it also has other great information on it as well and your just going to have to drop in, say high and take a gander. Being new in this industry is tough and content will start out slow, however, I'm getting there and i thank you Diana for that and all the other bloggers even though not mentioned will know who they are. Something as simple as a quick tip in Blogger, wordpress or how to run a giveaway goes a long way people. If you take a couple things away from me during a twitter party or pick up from my blog is that i enjoy helping others more than you know, i love to have a laugh and create some fun and I'm as genuine as they come so take a second and pick up the tullyphone!

I'm such a huge Oprah fan!!! I would LOVE to meet her.

Thanks so much for joining the UBP. :)

Hey, nice to meet you at the UBP14. This is my third year at the party - you and I were apparently very excited or on the ball as we're the first two linkers! :)

I am so glad you encouraged me to join in on the party! Looking forward to getting to know and "meet" some new bloggers and reconnect with ones I currently love!

Hi Diana nice to meet you at #UBP14 . I love Oprah but I got excited when you mentioned you met Pink backstage in Toronto. I'm a huge Pink fan!

Hey there! Nice to meet you. It's fun that you met some notable people and have random talents. I don't necessarily have random talents that I can think of with little sleep. I do love to cook, sew and sing. :)

Hmm... That didn't link right, not sure why it's saying I'm on blogger, haha! This comment should be linked to the right blog :) sorry about that!

Hi Diana! I wanted to stop by and let you know that there's still plenty of time to enter our UBP14 blog contest. It's a great way to help raise awareness of child online safety while cashing in on a great prize as well. Hope you'll help us keep the party going! http://www.5minutesformom.com/88709/child-online-safety-awareness/
