A Jo, My Gosh! First!

Today, I'm trying something I've never done before! I'm a co-host for the I Love My Online Friends GFC Blog Hop through a wonderful blog-- The Things We Find Inside. I've decided that February is going to be a month of growth for me-- it's the first month that Jo, My Gosh! has sponsors (and what lovely sponsors they are!), I've got some writing gigs lined up, and I'll begin as a contributing writer for another fantastic blog. It's always been my hope to turn writing into a full-time career. And, while it (obviously) isn't there just quite yet, I can't help but feel that I'm at least starting down the right path. 

Thank you, my friends, for being so supportive-- for reading and commenting and making this blog so much fun to create and continue working on. While I'll be trying some new things, I promise you that I won't lose sight of what has attracted you to Jo, My Gosh! in the first place! Let me know what you think about my new ventures as they unfold-- I'd love your opinions and ideas! 

If you're a blogger, participate in the blog hop this week and check out some amazing blogs!
