I have been absent from Self Growth for a long time.
My beloved husband, business partner, and partner of almost 20 years passed away last summer.
Needless to say, overcome by grief, I stepped away from my blogging duties.
One of those duties included removing myself from Self-Growth.
I got myself emotional support via an individual therapist and a support group in August.
Slowly I returned to an abridged version of my blogging tasks.
As part of our bereavement group expectations, we met our group members offline in September.
The next thing I knew, I was asked out by and started dating one of the members.
As it turns out, we have many mutual interests including technology.
I branched out on new blog topics as a result of our conversations about business and technology at my site https://mostlyblogging.com.
Inspired, my article about ChatGPT was born (https://www.mostlyblogging.com/chat-gpt-login/) since we often discuss technology.
Also, we watch business shows. We also discuss entrepreneurs like Elon Musk. Having blogged about Elong Musk, the additional information helps me update my articles since Google boosts your ranking of updated article https://www.mostlyblogging.com/how-smart-is-elon-musk/.
In addition, my new boyfriend helps me with my YouTube videos. He helps me reap the advantages of YouTube by filming and directing my videos

We also share an interest in social media. For instance, we talk about Reddit and Quora (https://www.mostlyblogging.com/reddit-vs-quora/).
He is teaching me more advantages of Instagram as well (https://www.mostlyblogging.com/advantages-and-disadvantages-of-instagram/) while I am teaching him about the advantages of Tik Tok (https://www.mostlyblogging.com/advantages-and-disadvantages-of-tiktok/)/
He also supports me online by commenting on my blog post articles and YouTube videos (https://www.mostlyblogging.com/youtube-comment-search/).
Also, my network of friends is growing thanks to the wonderful friends he has. In fact, I am able to continue my new friendships on Facebook (https://www.mostlyblogging.com/facebook-groups/).
Naturally, he and I follow each other on Instagram (https://www.mostlyblogging.com/1k-followers-on-instagram-in-5-minutes/).
Thanks to his influence, I am becoming more well-rounded. For instance, he is teaching me new iPhone tricks

This week we are starting our 7th month together. I am truly thankful for his support in my life (https://www.mostlyblogging.com/thankful-thursday-quotes/).
In closing, although my future seemed dismal last summer, I look forward to a new zipcode (https://www.mostlyblogging.com/random-zip-code/) and a happy future.
