It’s been a short year filled with long days.
Last April I launched Blogstar, a community I treasure where everyone can be heard and good work is rewarded. Along the way I’ve met so many inspiring, creative, smart and driven people through the Interwebs, and been lucky enough to work with a good few over the past year. I’ve also spent my time tinkering with Kirtsy and tailoring justb. My sweet spot, however, is building stuff: websites, communities, audiences, action, adventure; and that’s what I’ve been doing mainly with Blogstar but it has come to a point where it needs a bigger platform than I have to offer. A nice problem to have. So I needed to find What’s Next for both it and me.
Hello Morra Aarons-Mele and The Mission List.
I met Morra through one of the those people I describe above; the founder of Jack Cards, Katherine Santer, while working on a Jack Cards program via Blogstar. Morra and I met, fell in what-if love and have now partnered to take Blogstar to its What’s Next by connecting it to The Mission List’s cause for good and its access to people, places and partnerships.
Blogstar will soon be able to shine as an active community on The Mission List’s website where its members — past, present and future — will be able to connect, collaborate and make an income making a difference through paid-for social campaigns powered by The Mission List.
I’m going to spend the next 3 months helping you all to move in and will stay on as an advisor to The Mission List because who wouldn’t want to be part of that.
I’ll be keeping my blog, here, and the Blogstar register, so please sign up if you haven’t already, plus you can join the FB group, and FB page. My sharp focus will now become a mighty one.
Hello Maggie Mason, Laura Mayes and Mighty.
Attending the Mighty Summit last year was a life changing experience for me. I still carry in my wallet the five life goals I committed to crossing of my list, all of which I have started and a couple I’ve completed. I already knew Laura but it was at Mighty Summit that I got to know Maggie better and this Spring we got to talking about how to add another layer to Mighty Girl, Mighty Summit and Camp Mighty that helps people connect, accomplish their goals and do something good for the community at the same time. That’s going to be my What’s Next, and I hope you will be there, too.
There is a lot of awesome in this post, SBB. You know I will follow you anywhere! xoxoxoxoxoxox
There sure is a lot of awesome here
That would be the people, and that includes you! Can’t wait to do this. I hope to see you at Camp Mighty this year in Palm Springs. More details on that one very soon.
Yes. Would love to know more! Sent an email to Camp Mighty to find out when new info will be available.
I LOVE the sound of this! Amazing.
You’ll get a taste of it when you come to stay in August!
Wow, so much amazing stuff going on. Can’t wait to be a part of it!
Thanks Jen — amazing stuff goes on when amazing people get together. So glad you’re here!
I just registered for The Mission List–GOOD STUFF.
One of the most fulfilling experiences I’ve had as a blogger (besides “meeting” so many creative people) was working to support Water.org. I think our collective voices can and should be used to support the greater good and I am so excited about the prospect of this and to learn more about The Mission List.
Thanks for all you do, SBB. You are a mover and a shaker and I admire you.
Back at you. I am so looking forward to working with The Mission List and you all. There is nothing more satisfying than doing what you love and knowing it can also make a difference, in cahoots with awesome people like you
.
Oh, this is perfect. Sponsored posts for brand are great and all that, but what I really like is the social good stuff. Count me in!
Yay! I couldn’t agree more, Robin. So glad to have you as part of the next adventure for us all.
Sarah this is fabulous – I admire you so! Just registered need to tell you how much I love and value my involvement with you and Blogstar. xo
Thank you! I am very proud of the amazing community we have built here at Blogstar and can’t wait to see it grow bigger and better thanks to The Mission List. See you Wednesday!!
Everyone I’m so excited to start working with you, and to keep working with the amazing SBB!
Thanks Morra, I’m so looking forward to working with you and your team to launch the community platform on The Mission List and making the world a little better and a little brighter because of it. I’m also excited to publish tomorrow’s My Life As A Blog — someone I have admired for a long time!
This is so exciting Sarah. Such an awesome collaboration! I could use bigger doses of Mission and Mighty in my life. Looking forward to all aspects of What’s Next!
This is great! I can’t wait to learn more about it. Congrats on the next big thing!
