\"domestic-diva\"<\/p>\n

I’m not usually one to step much out of my comfort zone, but with the online community I’ve become a part of and LOVE, I’ve gained a little confidence. When a friend (@NikolSpencer) sent me a link and suggested that I sign up for a contest<\/a>, I was a little nervous. I don’t do things like this, but then I thought – why not? I don’t have anything to lose and I get to cook, which I love to do. How fun!<\/p>\n

So, I’m shooting off an application for the contest, we’ll see if I get picked, but I feel better even knowing I’m taking that first step. It’s opening up a new door for me and I have all of my Twitter<\/a> and LookingGlassLane<\/a> friends to thank. I feel stronger having a group of such wonderful women in my corner for whatever life brings me – you ladies are amazing, truly and I thank you all from the bottom of my heart for giving me some of my strength back.<\/p>\n

UPDATE:<\/strong>The contestants<\/a> were chosen at the end of June (sorry it took me so long to update this!) and I didn’t get picked, but best of luck to all those in the competition! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
