And . . . We’re Out!

. . . of the month of June, that is.

I’m burning rubber on June and preparing to take July by storm. How so, you may ask?

Whelp, since I’m such a glutton for punishment, I’m going to go ahead and tackle Blogher ‘s NaNoBloMo July Challenge. Friday I met digital strategist Nathalie Lussier on Twitter and decided to enter her 30 Day List Building Challenge.

I also signed up for a two month MOOC class entitled “Thinking Like a Writer.”

I’m still in my Business Ignition Bootcamp (2 more weeks to go)!

What? I told you I’m a glutton for punishment!

So any who, I’m busy putting my editorial calendar together. On tap is a book review, a few guest posts, info regarding a social experiment I’ll be conducting, not one, but TWO major lifestyle changes and some new features I’m adding to the blog.

Yep, July is coming in with a bang (pun intended). See ya Monday!

Party Over Here!

June 15, 2013 By Michelle Matthews-Calloway 2 Comments

This is family reunion weekend on my Dad’s side. In between doing work on the dissertation and doing mental push ups in Firepole’s Business Ignition Bootcamp, I’m partying like a rock star and enjoying my family.

My Mother’s side of the family is very quiet and very conservative. My Dad’s side is the exact opposite – very loud and very liberal. We even have a couple of BM/WW Swirl couples on that side. Woot! Woot!

I truly have the best of both worlds, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

I’m In Boot Camp!

June 7, 2013 By Michelle Matthews-Calloway Leave a Comment

I’m very proud to say that out of thousands of applicants, I was selected as one of 200 persons to enlist in the first ever Business Ignition Boot Camp from marketing whiz Danny Iny of Firepole Marketing.

The Boot Camp is a six-week designed to help entrepreneurs move into the place where they can use their businesses to further their desire to make a difference in the world. An added perk? The Boot Camp is free!

I’m excited to work with 200 talented and creative people, many of whom have already reached out to learn more about Swirling. (Can’t wait to find out how many Swirlers are in the camp)!

On another note, last week’s post generated a lot of buzz so my inbox was flooded with Swirlers reaching out to me to submit guest posts. Stay tuned for more book reviews and primers on how to date men of varying ethnicities. Married Swirlers will also chime in with their stories.

I also started a vegetarian diet (in 7-day intervals) so I’ll keep you posted on my progress. (And if you have some good recipes, please share them)!

I’m excited about the great things that are happening, and the cool direction the blog is taking. I have every confidence that I’ll come away from the Boot Camp with a new business model, fully energized to give you the best A Swirl Girl has to offer.

Thanks so much for your continued support – please know that it means much to me. Woot Woot!
