SITS Girls Featured Blogger | 10 Things About Kimberly

SITS Girls Featured Blogger is……ME!

Today is my SITS Day!  I discovered SITS Girls (a fab community of female bloggers) about a year or so ago.  I remember wondering what “grab my button” meant.

Last year, I realized that I could make money blogging.  I attended Bloggy Boot Camp in Seattle – were you there? – and a professional blogger was born (well, aspiring anyway).  And today, less than a year later, I’m excited and honored to be the SITS Girls Featured Blogger.

My business license says A Novice With Moxie and I author three blogs and I’d love for you to check them out…

10 Things About Kimberly Gauthier (go-tee-ay)

1. Being a writer and photographer were childhood dreams and this glorious beast, the World Wide Web, has made it possible.  Today I own a Sony Alpha camera body, 7 lenses, a home photography studio, and my own page on B&H Photo!

2. I’m cohabitating with my boyfriend (the cop) in our dream house on 5 acres with two dogs and two cats.  Our mortgage acts as a marriage certificate – I know it’s not the same, but since we don’t have kids, we’re just not in a hurry to make it legal.  Some day.  Maybe.

3. I love photography and wanted my own pet photography business.  When it took me a year to figure out how to use my camera, I started to realize that maybe that wasn’t the business for me.  Filing income taxes that first time made me certain.  Yuck!

4. I believe that we create the experience we’re having in this life and I’ve decided that I want happiness and abundance and so far I’m doing a bang up job achieving just that.

5. My favorite dish, the one that I’ll always say yes too, is fish and chips.  I also love southern food and fried catfish is da’ bomb!

6. I’m 40 years old and I haven’t left this continent.  We’re finally planning a trip to Hawaii for January 2013.  I’m so excited about the photo ops I’m going to get on that trip.

7. I love the Real Housewives shows.  They’re ridiculous and the drama is totally scripted, but these women fascinate the hell out of me.  I can’t remember the last time I screamed shrieked at someone, let alone attacked someone physically.

8. I read several books at once and my boyfriend got a Kindle Fire for me this year.  I just finished the Hunger Games trilogy, I’m reading The Laughing Corspe by (Hamilton), and Launch (Stelzner) and The New Relationship Marketing (Smith).

9. Every time I see a series of ones, I say “hi” to my Angels, because they’re nearby.  It sounds silly, I know.  When I was a kid, a priest told me that I probably had 2 Guardian Angels and at some point I connected them with the number one.

10. I’m so thankful to the people who read my blogs, follow me on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google Plus, and Flickr.  Every time I get a comment or make a connection, I feel like I was handed $1,000 bill.  Being a professional blogger is such an exciting dream and adventure and I can’t do it without an audience and the people who take time out of their day to hang with me are the absolute best.

Thanks for stopping by!

Kimberly
