Friday's Featured Female – Patience Bloom@RomanceIsMyDayJob

Welcome to Friday’s Featured Female!

Friday's Featured Female, #FFF

This weekly series features inspirational stories from admirable women.  IMHO, it’s always good to be reminded of how strength, determination, hard work, heart and ingenuity can impact the quality of one’s life and I’m proud that these women will allow me to share their stories here.

Today’s #FFF is Patience Bloom@RomanceIsMyDayJob – an editor at Harlequin, runner and die-hard Duranie (she wrote a 50 page term paper on the band in high school and walked down the aisle at her wedding to “Rio”).  Patience and I met through one of my best friends, Susie (who you might remember from my #SecretVacation5K), and had a girl-crush quick.  Patience is smart, a little bit snarky and about to set the world on fire with her own true story about how a Facebook message from a high school friend changed her life in Romance Is My Day Job: A Memoir of Finding Love At Last.

Sooooo have you met Patience?

Today’s #FFF is Christine Yu@LoveLifeSurf.  Christine and I have gotten to know one another in two very different and impactful environments that allowed us both to open new and exciting chapters in our lives.  We were social media newbies together at the first NYC Fitness Magazine Meet & Tweet and since then Christine has gone on to become an insightful writer (on her blog and publications like espnW), a fabulous photographer (her yoga selfies are brave and gorgeous) and newly minted yoga instructor!  I’m so proud to call this fabulous lady my friend.

Today I’m proud to present Kimberly@ManifestYourself.com.  Kimberly made a deep impression on me with her Ignite Fitness speech about “How To Become A Certified Fitness Blogger” at FitBloggin’13.  Her poise, warmth and love for health, fitness and the art of blogging allowed me to befriend her easily last June.

Although I’ve had the pleasure of getting a chance to hang out with Kimberly while I was in NYC this past summer, Kimberly’s blog gives you a great insight into this multifaceted woman – this Beyonce lovin’ lady puts herself on the page with honesty and grace that’s unmatched even while she describes the “ugly cry”.  Kimberly inspires me with each post.

Sooooo have you met Kimberly? […]

I teased you a little bit on Monday with who today’s #FFF (new hashtag and self-designed logo) would be today and I’m thrilled to announce that Tiffany@RunningHutch and RunThisYear is kicking off the series for 2014.  I met Tiffany at FitBloggin’ and she made a tremendous impact on me with both her sweetness and strength.  Her blog not only serves as fitness inspiration for me but the raw honesty she exudes through her writing consistently touches my heart and makes me love her a little more.

So haaave you met Tiffany? […]

Today I have Kelly, from No Thanks To Cake.  Kelly is an effervescent, honest and gorgeous person (seriously, could anybody be more photogenic!?) who made a deep impression on me at FitSocial.  Kelly has a vibe of determination, fun and creativity that shines forth not only in person but from her blog and I’m honored that have her on the blog today.  Kelly shows how making healthy living a priority isn’t easy but can be done with hard work, style and grace.  So haaaave you met Kelly?!?!

Hi there!  My name is Kelly and I’m the blogger behind No Thanks to Cake.

When Melissa asked me to write about my experience in weight loss and about my associated “hurdles,” I jumped at the opportunity.  1) because I adore her so much, and 2) because when she and I met at FitSocial in Denver, I realized very quickly that she shares my passion to inspire others to eat healthily and to lose the weight.
