August News: Verified, Vetted & #1 on Klout Travel Writing

I have been writing on Mondays about motivation, books and sharing all my worries. I wonder about We Said Go Travel and the We Said Go Travel Writing Award. This month I feel vindicated! I am on the right path.

Twitter has verified my account with a little white check and Klout has listed me as the #1 Expert in Travel Writing. Emily Dickinson said: "Dwell in Possibility!" I want to give a shout-out to myself to keep going because things are coming together! My team and I are preparing for the Fall Gratitude Travel Writing Award which will start September 11 and end on Thanksgiving. I hope you will join us and participate in my award!

I went to the Blogher conference in Los Angeles and was able to meet Luvvie Ajayi! I interviewed her about her brand new book, I'm Judging You, and here is the link to see our video interview. I loved the workshop with YouTube Stars: Kandee Johnson, Whitney White and Sarah Penna from Awestruck. The message I took away: KEEP GOING!

It is hard, it does take a long time but if you are passionate, it will happen. I was so inspired after the conference. I was able to really work on my YouTube Channel this month and I now have 580 videos and across all my video platforms I have 700,000 views! That will be 3/4 of a million very soon! Thank you so much for watching, commenting and participating.

This month I went to Grapevine, Texas for the first time. I loved it. I was invited to participate in J. Vero and Associates Travel Media Showcase. Vetted journalists meet in one-on-one meetings with incredible travel destinations. Before the conference, I explored Grapevine on a Girlfriend Getaway with incredible writers. It was an honor to spend time with them, learn from them and have a great time. I have eight videos from our time together! I had a wonderful experience and I can honestly say I think these are some of my best videos. Practice does make better!
