So many people ask me how I come up with a post for each day.  I wonder that myself at times!  It can be challenging to find a topic and photos for each new day, and I post seven days a week as you know.  There are still other who don’t understand what a blog is.  And many, many who have never even heard of The Permanent Tourist….imagine that!  I love the process and the art of writing.  My creativity is constantly challenged and I thrive on that.  I’m not a competitive person by nature except with myself.  I don’t share the private emails I receive in regard to my blog posts but I received one this past weekend that I’m sharing with you today.  It speaks to why I blog and host the radio show.  This is what it’s all about.  I love meeting people and writing about subjects I’m passionate about.  Last weekend’s Cabin Fever Event, hosted by the Cassina Garden Club was one of those subjects.  I always wonder how effective the blog is and how many people listen to the radio show.  My friend, Janice, who headed up the committee who planned the weekend, let me see very clearly what the results were in her kind email.  So, without further ado, here is her note.

“Such Big Thanks To You”

Melissa, I cannot thank you enough for everything you have done to make our cabin fever weekend a success. Both last night and tonight’s dinner were virtually sold out. As late as yesterday we were getting requests for tickets to all of the events. The hype that has happened in the last week has been enormous and we have U2 thank for much of that. It was interesting to see the phone stop ringing Wednesday morning after your Tuesday night radio show.

Enjoy your weekend and your family. I know it’s chilly but what a gorgeous morning.

Janice

 

This is why I blog. Helping get the word out about local events that impact our area is at the top of my “tada” list!  I am thrilled that the turnout for the weekend’s events was so great!  It helps the Cassina Garden Club with their drive to save the tabby slave cabins.  I hope that all of the events I write about get a bigger response due to my posts!  I absolutely love what I do and when I hear reports like Janice sent me it just makes my day!  And so I continue and will do so as long as I am able!  Thank you for reading and supporting The Permanent Tourist!

   Thank you for blogging. The Permanent Tourist has give me a whole new perspective about Coastal Georgia and many points of interest I plan to see on my next visit. The Chamber of Commerce should put you on retainer.
