For those of you who have been reading my blog pre-Apple period, you know just how far we have come in this virtual world.  I have to tell you, I am completely ignorant, by my own standards, when it comes to ‘blogging’ in terms of the professional blogger.  I have been blessed with a few very talented and supportive people along my journey that have helped to make me look really good.  And one of those people is Joy at Five J’s.

Since I met Joy online I have learned how to:

1.  Do almost any plug in work on my site imaginable;

2.  Master widgets;

3.  Create drop down tool bars;

4.  Adjust picture ratios to fit my Genesis Slider window;

5.  ‘Speak’ blogger;

6.  Create my own custom Twitter background;

7.  And create a contact page for my blog.

Joy’s life philosophy is that everyone should be a lifelong learner.  Her motto is, “Give a man a fish, he eats for a day.  Teach a man to fish, he eats for life.”  I can attest that she walks the walk with this, my friends.  More than once through this process she gave me links that were my ‘homework’ related to what we were working on with the blog makeover.  And her lessons never failed at making me a better/smarter blogger.

I am positive the email I sent her for a project request was no less than 1,000 words going on and on about my ideas, who I was, what I wanted to blog about and how my new site makeover would have to be blah, blah, blah…..  I am humbled by her agreeing to help me!  No matter how long winded, ignorant or needy I may have seemed, she still managed to compliment, support, encourage and lift me up to a higher level within myself through this process.

But you haven’t heard the best part yet.  She is a homeschooling mom, too!  If you have been thinking about homeschooling, or are a homeschooler and need resources, ideas, printables, organization, and/or ideas for enrichment activities, you should definitely check out her site.  My favorite section happens to be the homeschool for free area!  And she recently added T-shirt designer to her list of talents.

I am beyond grateful for Joy’s expertise and willingness to teach people as she works.  I have no doubt her generosity will come around more than 100 fold throughout her life.  She is now and forevermore my Myagi Blog Design Master…
