I’m Taking a Mini-Break to Seattle for SoFabU on the Road #SoFabUOTR #cbias
I'm so excited to be going to Seattle in April for a few days to connect with other bloggers, learn more about blogging and of course, check out some of the sites in Seattle. Going to SoFabU on the Road is big for me, because it'll be my first blogging conference! I've been to social media events and things like that before, but this is my first blogging-specif event of this nature! This month is my 5th blogging anniversary (yay!), but as a lifelong learner, I know that there is always ...
3 Ways I’m Celebrating my 5th Blogging Anniversary
Yippee! BeingTazim.com turns 5 years old this month! I believe celebrating life's big and small events in some way tells the universe you're grateful and want more of the good stuff. That's why I'm celebrating my blog's 5th anniversary this month with some awesome things - for me and for you. ...
Getting Things Done with Tazim Damji
The title of this post is inspired by the short-lived TV show Dead Like Me (Amazon link). The character Dolores had a webcam show called "Getting things done with Dolores." Readers and friends often ask me for tips on how to stay organized (or start to get organized). My simple answer: lists. I make and refer to lots and lots of lists. I have a white board by my entrance for really important things that I need to do; that's the place where I will see the items on that list most often. I also ...
Introducing My New Project: Love Snap Make Blog
I've hinted about it before, saying that a 2nd blog was in the works. Well, April 1st, I took the plunge — and Love Snap Make emerged! Because I'm concentrating on home décor and DIY projects on Love Snap Make, you will be seeing less of that here, unless it doesn't fit on my other blog. For Being Tazim, I'll be shifting more toward crafty DIY projects, recipes, and a variety of lifestyle topics. Things are a bit quiet over at Love Snap Make - I have posted a few posts already, though - ...
8 Creative & Inspiring Blogs that you Should Check Out
Blog Bosses share the love. Here are 8 blogs that inspire creativity. I'm taking a Blog Boss e-course through Decor8, and this week's homework was to share 8 blogs that rock (and why). I found it hard to narrow down the list. I wanted to share blogs that are not necessarily well-known. Oh, Hello Friend: You are Loved This is an oldie but a goodie. I've been reading this blog for years, though I somehow recently forgot about it. I love the general look of the blog and how well it integrates ...
Time to Boss this Blog Around! Being a Blog Boss
This month is my 3 year anniversary of this blog! It's changed so much over the years and I feel like now is a good time to really think about where I want it to go in the future. One thing that I really wanted to do for my blogging career is take some courses this year. I've long been a Holly Becker (of Decor8blog.com fame) fan-girl, so when she announced that she was going to be offering a new e-course this month called Blog Boss, I knew I had to find a way to take it! Taking charge, making ...
I Love Blogs #BlogHug
Inspired by Holly Becker (of Decor8)'s post on giving bloggers a big hug, showing appreciation, and sharing the bloggy love, I decided to join in on the fun. I follow a ridiculous amount of blogs—via e-mail, Facebook. twitter, Pinterest, and via the 2 apps I use on my iPad (Flipboard being my favourite). I've shared my love for blogs several times here, and will be doing so again (and again) in the future. I confess that I don't watch the news (I always say I don't have cable as the reason ...
Blog, Inc.: Blogging for Passion, Profit and to Create Community
I've had this blog for almost 3 years now. Before I found a blogging community that I liked and felt was supportive, I tried to figure things out by myself. Through a lot of trial and error, and more time than I thought possible, I built up my blog and my brand. I feel like, despite where I am today, there is so much left to learn. A blog will never be finished Unlike the webpages I created for my favourite singers and bands in my youth, blogs can never be static. New, fresh content is always ...
