One year ago today...

There was this girl. This girl was a huge fan of blogs, particularly EMS blogs. She loved to read about other folks experiences.

She started to believe that she had some stories of her own to share. She had a voice, now she could have a platform to yell from.

She created a blog. She named it Pink Warm and Dry. Partially because of her absolute love of all things pink and girly, partially for the medical reference.

One year, 290 posts later, She's still here, sometimes yelling, sometimes crying, sharing her work experiences, her family stories, sharing her proud moments and those she's not so proud of. And people are actually out there reading. To her it's humbling to think that people are interested in what She have to say.

It's humbling, but it's also a little scary at times. Last November She posted about Megan Meier. CNN.com picked up on the post and it was on their main page for several hours. She got a ridiculous amount of traffic off of it, but also some scary comments. It was a reminder to her that in the end, She's responsible for what She writes.

If you asked her, She would have to say that the most amazing part of this entire experience has been the friendships that She's made. There are people out there who She's have never met who She cares about as much as members of her own family, some of them more. Who would have thought that someone could love people She's never met?

Obviously, She is Me. I'm grateful, folks. I'm humble and grateful. Thank you. Thank you for sharing YOUR lives with me, thank you for sharing yourselves, your experiences and your knowledge with me.
