I just have to get this out of my head fast. It’s been a mammoth week over here. Three BIG things happened. I put up my first video, I finished my book and got it downloadable for a fantastic price, AND, I got the nod from the godfather of Blogs in southern Italy, Bleeding Expresso.
Before I started blogging I read about this concept of having other bloggers pick up on your work. Well, I have been following Michelle Fabio’s blog for quite some time because she’s just a great writer. I had even left her a message. Well, she picked up on my blog and told her readers about it.
I don’t know what kind of magic she has but I’ve gotten more hits in two days since Michelle
Big day at jbulie's blog. ebook up and running, got the nod from Bleeding Expresso and friends, and made a video. Life is good.
I don’t know if I need to bend down and kiss her ring or what?
The video got a lot of visits. That was crazy. I just made a decision to try it. I could have, should have done a better job at it and you know what. I think I will. I think I’ll become the next Oprah. Or, I could have my own webcast like icarly. icarly is truly my kid’s favorite. Anyone, anyone? Beuller?
My sister and friends have already requested I do the next episode with eggs. It’s a long private sister story that we are trying to put in the past but for some reason it just keeps resurfacing. We hadn’t seen each other in like five years, we see each other and got in a STUPID sister fight about eggs and we both regret it. Sisters.
I have to just make a big big THANK you or I am not going to be able to sleep again. So so many new nice people have stopped by to read my random little thoughts and it floors and humbles me. Each reader adds their own special feelings, laughter, smiles, hugs and courage.
They are just words on a page but I tell you, I know it’s more. I know it’s you who just sat down at your computer and thought you’d share your day and thoughts with me. It makes this world a better place, doesn’t it? I think so.
And NO my book is not in Oprah’s book club. But to be perfectly honest, I have submitted it. I’m trying to convince her to start a new ebook club. It’s good on trees.
I’m off to play with my widgets and kids.

I’m talking to myself here but just wondering. Do you think I got 200 views to my site today because of the good review from Michelle’s Fabio at Bleeding Expresso or was it the video? I’m thinking it was Michelle. I’m bending down and kisser her ring. She’s the Godfather of Blogs.
200 that is impressive! I suspect that you might be right about the review over at Bleeding Espresso. Maybe FB helped? That is how I first became aware of you, not having done my daily blog reading at that stage.
I find there is a tremendous karma and friendship amongst Bloggers.
Yes Ms LinyLouMac, it’s so true. I can feel the Kharma and friendship. I feel as if I’ve just entered a great club where each of us wants to help the other. PLUS it’s free, soul searching, friend making and unless you eat while you write, non fattening. I’m thinking it’s a win-win situation.
No ring kissing allowed! It’s truly my pleasure to introduce my readers to you, Julie; I just knew they’d enjoy your place as much as I have
I’m looking forward to lots more videos, e-books, insightful posts…no pressure
