I started my blog this year, it is something I had always wanted to do.....I think I started considering it in 2013 but did't get to it till May this year......I don't know why I didn't start then sincerely......but better late than never, right?

Milestones:

1. Number of posts This post will be my 47th post when published....

2. Blog views: 16,000 and a bit views in 7 months, not so shabby.
