I feel like it’s my own birthday! I should lit a candle, bake a cake and treat myself to a dinner for this wonderful milestone.

You may begin to wonder what the big deal is? It is some serious big deal for me.
It is a year I started blogging.
Addicted was my first real post on this blog aside the sticky Welcome you always see each time you open this website.
A year I decide to make a move from procrastinating to really blogging. I procrastinate a lot and I am thankful I am gradually getting rid of that.

A year I choose to share my journey with you all.
A year I decided talking about it will help me heal.

I’ve had a very rough growing up and since I choose to blog, I have in one way or the other bare it all and it has really helped me grow and be sane. It has helped me heal and understand life differently.
I choose blogging because I love to write, because I love to share but no one would listen, because writing is part of my life, it is a means to reach out to others who are experiencing the same challenge I am going through. Blogging has helped me discover myself and it has helped me meet YOU.
Without your daily clicks, readership, follower-ship and sharing, I won’t be here today. Debs Corner is still sitting pretty today because it has you and you helping it grow, I am eternally grateful.
To celebrate this blog’s birthday today (please let me use birthday na, pardon me), I shared a post about Giveaways and today we have winners. I will answers the questions and explained why these ones have been selected as the winners.
- What date was the first post on the self hosted domain DebsCorner posted?The self hosted domain is debwritesblog.com. I was formerly hosted on the free wordpress site and I felt “No, this is not what I wanted from the start. I want my own website and yes I did it. The first post on this site is Reporting from Debwritesblog.com on 13th November 2016.

- Which blogger is the inspiration behind Debs Corner? Paste his/her link with your answer. If you have been an ardent follower/reader of this blog, you’d have come across posts where I always say the name of the blogger who inspired Debs Corner. You can read . Yes, I had the idea to start a blog but I never knew how to go about it until I stumbled on Ebukun’s Instagram account and I clicked the link in her bio which took me to her .So permit me to say, she is the inspiration behind Debs Corner and she has been my number #1 fan up till date. Thanks girl!

I didn’t even know I have a jejely gift waiting for me after I had said I don’t wanna participate for others to win. . . see I would just have deprived Olumide a fair chance to win cos I would have probably answered 3 before answering 1. . .
