We all knew you were a star and a pro blogger. Now it’s official! And the bronze is still one medal more than all the others after you in the list were able to score. Congratulations on that and on scoring the gig with Disaboom.

You’ve done a fantastic job Glenda. We’ll all keep voting for you. You’re a fantastic person and I applaud your hard work. I know how etching a living on the Internet is and for you with your disability just makes me grateful and more determined. Best of luck in all you do!

Congratulations Glenda! I am so happy that you got a gig out of this too!

Actually the prize for Blog For A Year fell short and ended up being a little less than a $2,000 prize all in all. But the exposure I got from it and the friends made along the way made me a winner.

In early summer I was also offered a writing job as a result of my entry in the contest, which i took and love. So way back then, I knew that whatever the outcome of the contest I had come out a winner.

And I am so happy that you did too. There were so many deserving bloggers in the contest, I would love to hear more success stories.
