At last...

my 100th post! A true milestone. There are a couple of other milestones too. I've had more than 6000 visitors since starting the blog and over 10,000 pages viewed!

My first post was on October 7, 2007. I was very nervous. I wasn't sure if I should start blogging. But at the time I needed to get my thoughts into words. It was a tough time for my family and me. My husband had lost his job, and I was feeling the pressure of the debt shackles. Those shackles are very, very painful.

I'm so glad I made the decision to keep track of my journey to financial freedom. Blogging and receiving feedback from others is helping to keep me focused on my shackle release program. I am grateful for all the blogging friends I have made and for the encouragement that I have received. Many times I am motivated by reading others' posts and commenting. I find comfort in sharing a good thought or kind word with others.

Over the next several posts, I'm going to highlight some of the entries that I really like. Starting with Eating is to Money as Food is to Debt. This is one of my favorites because I like the title, it was the first post for which I received comments, and it was the first post that I submitted to a Carnival: the Carnival of Debt Reduction!

So to my many readers and supportive bloggers I say thank you, thank you for your continued support and encouragement. Do you think I can write another 100 posts?
