Hi, P.I.M PALS! (o^-^o)/ π
Welcome to today’s very special blog post. β¨
I am celebrating my two-year anniversary (also known as “blogiversary”) of my blog, P.I.M & PINK! π€
I did not celebrate my one-year blogiversary in 2021 because I was still an infant blogger who was just focusing on building my blog. π
It all began in high school when I had the idea of starting a blog. β¨
One day, my father said that I should start a blog, and I looked at him with a smile and said, “Really, you think so?” π
As time went by, I gave it more and more thought, and eventually, I came to really like the idea of starting a blog.
So, one day, while talking with my parents, the name of my blog, “P.I.M & PINK,” was born. My mother came up with it, and I thought that it was so cute! π
All my life, I have always been passionate about protecting a childβs Purity, Innocence, and Modesty, which is what inspired the acronym, “P.I.M.” They have become three important values in my life. π€
The word, “PINK,” simply represents the fact that I have always loved pink and associated the color with soft and sweet qualities like purity, innocence, and modesty. π₯°
Once my family and I agreed on the name for my blog, I began visualizing and writing out blog post ideas. I watched videos, read articles about blogging, and found other bloggers on social media for inspiration. Eventually, I started to look at web hosting services for my blog. π βπΌ π»
On September 20, 2020, I finally decided to join WordPress.com and create my blog. However, I did not make my blog public and publish my first blog post until August 22, 2021. β¨
I spent the majority of my time in 2020 and early/mid-2021 designing my blog and writing my first set of blog posts.
In July 2021, I designed the official logo for my blog, P.I.M & PINK. The pink clam and the pearl symbolize my belief that we are all like pearls inside of a clam, pure and precious, but we always have to defend ourselves from anything that tries to corrupt, defile, or destroy us. π€
On August 22, 2021, I launched my blog publicly and published my first post called, “Welcome to P.I.M & PINK!” π
I am very thankful to God, my family, and friends who have been part of my blogging journey since the very beginning. β¨
Firstly, I want to thank God Who gave me life and the capability to even start my blog in the first place. God put this blog on my heart, and I believe that it is all part of His plan and purpose for me. Blogging has become a source of joy, passion, and healing for me, especially when I was going through a difficult time. I almost did not publish on my blogiversary date. However, I did not let my circumstance keep me from doing God’s will. π
Secondly, I want to thank my family. β¨
Father, thank you for being the first to encourage me to start a blog in the first place and introducing me to blogging courses and information that helped me properly set up my blog. π
Mother, thank you so much for taking the time to help me edit and refine my posts and for sharing my blog with the world. You were the first to insist on helping me with editing since my very first post. π
Brother, thank you so much for always encouraging me and listening to my ideas and thoughts. You always give me helpful feedback. π
Sister, thank you so much for sharing my blog with the world. Also, thank you for my little nephew who inspires me. π
I also want to thank my grandparents who have given me wisdom and supported me. π
I am thankful for my aunts and my godmothers who believe in me and have always encouraged me. π
Thirdly, I want to thank my friends who are supportive and have shared my blog with others. π
Overall, I want to thank all of my readers, who I refer to as “P.I.M PALS,” which stands for pure, innocent, and modest pals. Thank you so much for all of your love and support. I sincerely and wholeheartedly appreciate all of you. ππ
I cannot believe that my posts have already reached people from around the world since the beginning, despite still being a new blog. I am happy to be creating content for all of you that you resonate with and feel encouraged by, for it is truly my heart’s desire to do so. I believe that God’s plan was for me to start this blog not only to help me but to inspire or encourage YOU. β¨
With that being said, I wanted to share with you this scripture verse:
Ephesians 2:10 (NIV) which says, “For we are Godβs handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.”

Your P.I.M PAL,
Selene
