Happy New Year to all! I’ve never really shared my stats before, but since this year will mark my third with this blog, I thought it would be fun to share where I’ve been and where I am now. Here is a fun little fact as provided by WordPress, in addition to the link for my 2012 blog stats:
4,329 films were submitted to the 2012 Cannes Film Festival. This blog had 32,000 views in 2012. If each view were a film, this blog would power 7 Film Festivals.
I would like to personlly thank Bella of The Citizen Rosebud and Sylvia of 40 Plus Style for being the top referers to my blog. I would also like to thank Vahni of Grit and Glamour for sharing my my experience of completing the Whole30, causing it to have the highest views ever for one of my blog posts. And finally, I would like to thank Stephanie of The Loudmouth Lifestyle for returning often to have the most comments on my blog. These are blogging beauties who I have come to know in my time of blogging, and I adore and appreciate their support.
I want to thank everyone, including friends and family, who have followed Any Second Now throughout the nearly three years that I have been blogging, and I want to say hello and welcome to all new readers. I am having a great time writing and sharing my personal style, fashion and music favorites, travel experiences, recipes, and family events. I happily continue to keep in touch with bloggers I have met through this experience, whether it’s through their blogs or other forms of social media like Instagram, Pinterest, Twitter and Facebook. Additionally, I have met wonderful new friends and have had the thrill of collaborating with great companies and discovering fantastic new and interesting brands. I hope you continue to follow and we’ll see what 2013 has in store! Cheers!
What a nice welcome to the new year to see my name on your blog. Very happy that I helped bring in more eyeballs! Wishing you lots of success with your blog and in life for the coming year. Happy 2013!
Thank you Sylvia! Wishing you a wonderful 2013 as well!

Happy 3rd bloggerversary Cy! Congrats on making it thus far, and with such motorpower! I’m glad to be a part of your community and thrilled to know that you get new readers via the blogroll. I’d love to see Sylvia’s and my widget in your “top fold,” over IFBs. I know its snotty to say so, but we’re more community building then they will EVER be. Just sayin’. Snark aside, it has been a tremendous year, full of good changes and positive focus, and I am glad you are a part of my bloggersphere. Here’s to a more joyous, successful and fulfilling 2013!
Ditto, Bella! We definitely do our share of building community, and I look to bloggers like you that have paved the way for positivity through this type of interaction! It’s so important, and I hope people continue to see that. Much love to you my dear and here’s to a wonderful 2013!
xoxo
PS: you mention Vahni, and Steph, two tremendous postive forces in the bloggershere- with folks like that in your court, you are sure to go far!
Happy new year, Cyrillynn, and congratulations on another successful year of blogging! I honored to be mention here, and here’s another comment for ya! Ha!! 😉 I also just ready your Whole30 story — super inspiring. I’ve been wanting to try it ever since Vahni mentioned it on her blog, but it looks even harder for vegetarians. However, I do like a good challenge. I think this is the year I’m going to do it. Maybe February?
Happy new year to you, too Stephanie! I am honored that we are a part of the same community and the support you provide is so precious to me. I hope you feel likewise! My friends and I are doing another Whole30 starting Jan 7, let me know if you want to join us! You can actually start whenever you want, but please feel free to ask me anything and I will support you in every way!
xoxo
