We all have our ‘thing’.

Something that so fits our giftedness & strengths it doesn’t feel like ‘work’.

When you are trying to decide where to focus, given all these online opportunities, it helps to remember what you love most. Your ‘thing’.

For today’s guest, Kristen Kill, after blogging shifted away from family sharing. . .she went back to her editing and writing roots.

Now Kristen edits for a couple of contributor sites. She also found a way to combine her passion for motherhood & her joy in sharing great stuff. While living in NYC she (& her kiddos) help promote marketing campaigns from major brands & events. Pretty awesome!

Kristen will be leading a main session at the Declare conference. She is also co-hosting a lab with Emily Thomas on Blog to Small Business and Monetization.
