I Love Beef and Chasing Joy

Posted on the 28 August 2011 by Chasingjoy @chasing_joy
A few weeks ago I received a tweet from The Mrs. The Mommy. The MD. letting me know I was one of the winners in her Where's the Beef give away.  This week I recieved my prize which included an apron, The Healthy Beef Cookbook, and cookbook holder with splatter guard, and assorted I love beef stickers and ballons.  I love the look of the apron and can't wait to start the beef receipes.
It is so exciting to win something.  This whole blogging thing is starting to be pretty cool.  I never would have won my awesome apron and cookbook if I'd have not started visiting other bloggers.  I'd have never even know about The Mrs. The Mommy. The MD. if I'd not started Chasing Joy. 
Chasing Joy has lead me to some awesome experiences, places, and people.  As a direct result of Chasing Joy I have:
  • taken ballet
  • completed a 5k as a runner
  • visited Bermuda
  • dyed my hair red
  • entered a plus sized beauty contest (made the top 10)
  • had a volunteer experience
  • I received the Versatile Blogger award from another blogger
  • I developed a true friendship with a girl I went to high school with directly because of her comments and support on Chasing Joy.
  • I have partnered with another friend to help market her business with a giveaway.
  • And now I also have an awesome apron and some new healthy receipes to try out.
Gotta Love Chasing Joy!!!
