It seems surreal to think that 3 years ago to this date I hit 'publish' on my blog for the very first time, yet I remember it as if it was yesterday. I remember feeling as equally blasé as I was nervous.

'Omg I'm gunna click publish omg omg omg but what if nobody reads it??? What if it's a flop?? How embarrassing! I'd die if nobody read it!!' 'Oh who cares, nowt'll happen anyway.'

I hope this gives you a better insight as to where my head was at at that time...

I feel that being in my third year of blogging going into my fourth that I am more established as a blogger and I feel very proud to get to this point. Having said that however, now that I'm at this point, I want to go further than just being a 'blogger'.

I have become an ambassador for Phonak (a company who develop and make hearing aids), and never did I think that this would be an avenue I could go down simply through blogging! Raising awareness for the deaf community has become important to me and there are so many things I want to do and have planned so watch this space!

Thank you all so so much for all of your support, every 'like', 'comment', 'retweet', 'thumb up', 'thumb down', 'emails', 'direct message', just any form of communication has meant so so much to me and I thank you for this.

Here's to year 4...
