When I started my blog eleven months ago, I decided to take it a day at a time and see where the path is leading to.
I didn’t want to jumpstart far too many things and it would become difficult to get a grip on what exactly it is that I am doing here.
As each blogging day goes by, my vision for my blog keeps becoming crystal clear and I want to raise the bar a notch higher. It’s all part of the evolving and change. We have to keep aiming for growth.
My blog is a primarily a lifestyle blog and not just self-centric focused blog. I am a very community minded person and in as much as my blog is my voice in this space, it’s a space for all of us.
I am introducing a weekly GUEST POST (4 times a month) and Interview opportunities to other bloggers.
I am also available to write guest posts if you require that.
The guest posts that I seek are posts that will enhance and improve the lives of others. It would be on topics such as (but not limited):
Parenting, Family, Relationships, Finance, Exercise, Health, Wellness, Inspirational, Motivational, Security, Cooking, Lifes Lessons, Self-Help etc.
On the interview aspect, I am introducing bi-monthly interviews of fellow bloggers, which will involve short snippets about you and a feature of your blog.
Lastly, after due consideration and due to the success of parties that I hosted in the past, my theme blog party will take place once every month. I am contemplating the 3 or last weekend of the month.
So, tell me what you think. Please, and thank you.
If you are interested in the guest post or interview, you can send me an email JacquelineObyIkocha@gmail.com or check my ‘getting in touch page’
I might also knock on your door, so don’t be surprised if you see me outside 🙂

This is a great idea! I’m still new and trying to figure out my way with blogging. Taking the Photo101 workshop exposed me to fellow bloggers and I made some great connections that way. I am trying to a time balance reading other blogs, writing and trying to engage in some of the challenges. So much to learn. I am inspired by your blog, your creativity, your talent and your wonderful support! I’m not really understanding the interviews, parties and guest posts. (I am watching from afar:)

I love you’re sense of community. I am always interested in guest posts and theme parties. I just sent my draft for a guest post to Maddy, which I believe will be published sometime in April. So, I will wait to see how that pans out. I also did a guest post, not too long ago, about Amanda (my cat). I enjoy doing guest posts as long as I have plenty of lead time. Great idea and I am sure it will be a success. 🙂

Hi Jacqueline. Hope you had a lovely weekend. That is wonderful your blog is doing great and you are expanding it into a place where others can share too. I loved your blogging party and will most definable attend whenever I’m able. I would love to contribute a piece to your blog. Either I would like to interview another blogger or I will find something in the topics you wanted, to write about but I have to think a bit on what that might be.
Also, I was thinking similar to you that I would love to have some contributions on my blog from other writers. Would you be willing to do write up a post for me on why you write and the significance that has in your life? How you began and what your goals are etc. Make it 1000 words at most but anywhere below is great too? Thanks and let me know if this works for you. My email is mandi_ae@hotmail.com. Or I do have a contacts page at the top of my blog 🙂

I’m just coming out of a blogfog and trying to find my way again. After 13 years of blogging, I felt I was just treading water and gave this activity a break. But I realised that I like it too much to completely abandon it and am visiting my old blog sites I liked visiting once again . I liked this idea of yours.
