A year ago this week I posted this status on Facebook, “I think I am going to start a project. I just want to touch the lives of random people in a positive way. Put a little light into the world. *ponders*”
After making that post I did ponder, quite heavily, on a way to make that small dream a reality. For the next couple of days I talked to quite a few of my friends and family who helped me hash out the details of what soon would become the Somewhere Out There Project. It was a fun and exciting time for me, finding a way to use my talents in a positive manner has always been important to me. Looking back it feels like everything just flew from there. I went from a small Facebook page and an idea to spread a little kindness to taking a crash course in learning the Twitter interface, building a webpage and supporting a successful Kickstarter campaign, and let’s not forget learning to write a blog. (Though I had dabbled in this before and this blog is more sporadically written than I would like).
It was a crazy journey that went simultaneously too fast and too slow. A year later our project is in continents, countries and lots of states and I am still awed by the reach we have gotten. There have been mountains of changes in my personal life during this tumultuous year as well, but we have still managed to put out well over 100 smiles! In honor of our one year anniversary I would like to thank all of those who have been so supportive along the way and to let you know I will be reviving the blog and I will never stop sharing smiles!
