Belated Twelve Year Blogiversary!

Oh hey and oh my goodness! I cannot believe that I didn’t make a post earlier to celebrate my twelve year blogiversary!! The special occasion has came and passed but that doesn’t mean we can’t be excited about it now because I sure am. It is so crazy to think that I started lifewithlilred when I was twenty years old and it is still going strong over a decade later. If you told me I would still be doing the blogging thing after all of this time, I don’t think I would have believed you. Alas, here we are and I could not be more proud of this huge accomplishment!

lifewithlilred is truly a labor of love and there is nothing better to me than sitting down at my laptop every morning and sharing anything and everything with my dear readers. It is a place for me to celebrate the joy of writing and, hopefully, a place for you to have some fun! My blog is a mixture of all of my favorite things – fashion, beauty, books, horror and everything in between. For twelve years, I have carved out a little nook on the World Wide Web that is completely my own and even if no one read my blog, I would still be writing it. My page makes me so happy and my life wouldn’t feel the same without it.

My blog has changed my life in so many positive ways. I made a best friend and I have fostered connections with countless cool people all around the globe. I was an incredibly lonely and sad person when lifewithlilred started and it opened up a whole new world to me. As my blog progressed, those feelings subsided significantly because it was doing exactly what I was hoping it would: To help me make friends. It was such an amazing gift to have people to communicate with no matter where they were located and I could do so in a medium I was fully comfortable with: Writing.

I have always loved to write and filled dozens of journals with my thoughts as a teen and twenty something. My journals were my friends and I turned to them when I felt like I had no one. Now, my journal is my blog and my friends are everyone that reads it! It makes my life feel so full and I genuinely can’t believe the good fortune I had when I threw caution to the wind and started my page. Within a month, I made a best friend who I have talked to all day every day since and that is the best possible outcome of all. I can’t wait to see who lifewithlilred is going to bring into my life every day and I am so glad you are all here with me!

To my beloved readers: Thank you for coming along on this ride. I love you all and here’s to another twelve years of blogging! ❤

How long have you been blogging for? How did you meet your best friend? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

Work Goals Achieved (YES!)

Work Goals Achieved (YES!)

Howdy! As the transition from 2022 and 2023 happened, one of my main goals was to work a lot more online. While I love my job as an Independent Provider, I wanted to try new things too and what I was most interested in was taking my online work to a new level. This was such an “asked and answered” situation because on January 4th of 2023, I began working as the in house writer for a tech entrepreneur in Massillon, Ohio. This was an absolute dream come true!

With this job came the responsibilities of handling social media for several different accounts, writing blog posts and press releases, as well as office admin work. It honestly doesn’t even feel like work because it is so much fun! Like my job as an Independent Provider, I know that it’s something that I’m not only excellent at, but I genuinely enjoy too. It truly doesn’t get much better than that and I have lifewithlilred to thank. That is how I got noticed for this opportunity in the first place. ❤

At the end of 2023, my time with a long term client came to an unfortunate end and that was really hard for me. I assumed that I would be working with that family for forever and I was wrong. It was also stressful because I needed to find a way to make up for the hours lost. Once again, asked and answered. My online boss gave the okay for additional hours on Monday and, better yet, I get to do that in person! Every Monday, I have been going into the office for training and am learning so much. It gives me the chance to work with the companies my boss owns in an entirely new way and it is thrilling!

The cherry on top to my online work extravaganza has been accepting another new role. Starting this past December, I became the social media manager for a local metalcore band called Constellations. I created all of their social media pages from scratch and handle their content calendars, scheduling, and promoting. This is something that I have wanted for so long and I am very proud of myself for taking the plunge and tossing my hat in the ring when they were looking to hire someone. I took a big chance and it paid off big time. 😀

It’s safe to say that I am a pretty busy gal between all of my jobs, but it is the best kind of busy ever. I love everything that I do and I can’t wait to see what opportunities come my way next!

Have you achieved any goals recently? What is your favorite part about your job? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah
