9 years of blogging today
I had no idea what blogging would do for me when I started. The community that has been created on this blog, the countless entrepreneurs that I have had the pleasure to meet, the amazing entrepreneurs that I have had the honor to invest in has been incredibly rewarding. Through this platform I have evolved as many of the companies I work with have. For instance, I would not have even thought that I would be in the third year of putting on a Womens Entrepreneur festival at NYU with ITP when I began this journey. There is no doubt that everything that I have done this past 9 years on my "career" road has been connected to this blog.
Even the ability to write, share and communicate my experience, my thoughts, my recipes, my day to day adventures is something that has shaped me this past 9 years. Thanks to everyone who has checked in to be part of the conversation of my life.
Looking forward to hitting the decade mark.

Happy Birthday to you and your wonderful Blog 🙂 I love all of its connections and perspectives 🙂
Very cool, and congrats! Have you thought of putting a “random post” button somewhere on the blog so that readers can click and get a random post from the past 9 years. Saw it on another blog and ended up spending a good bit of time reading through past posts.
Im wishing a glorious birthday to a wonderful Libra lady
Hey Joanne (AKA The GothamGal)Happy B Day!
Happy Birthday and congratulations on your blog-iversaryI read you’re your restaurant & food reviews with envy and salivate over yourfood photography and try some of your recipes. Thank You.
!!!!!!!!
Hope you’re having a PERFECT day! (and hope Umber is making you a birthday cheesecake!) 🙂
Happy birthday! I’m so happy to have gotten to know you here over the years.
Happy birthday to a virtual friend and mentor. Thank you for so honestly sharing your experiences and thoughts. It has been a pleasure to know you virtually! Looking forward to following your road.
What’s truly amazing is how frequently you post. That discipline is so crucial to building community. Happy Birthday.
Happy birthday and blogging anniversary!It has been a fun and interesting journey as a reader as well (though I’ve only jumped in over the past few months, I did go back and read most from the start over the summer — great and interesting way to experience the evolution of your thinking btw).I think the voice, ideas, and actions you share around Women Entrepreneurs is probably the most meaningful stuff to the world that has come out of the experience for sure, but the food, family, and pictures are so very touching and interesting on a personal level as well…so over the years, you’ve found a great mix of relevance and entertainment and I look forward to remaining a reader and a fan for the years to come!
Happy B-day!Since I enjoy both your musings and the yummy virtual food you share, I’m going to beg for a (virtual) piece of your birthday cake. Something we can all share here tomorrow?I hope you run out of numbers when you count your blessings today.
Happy blog birthday Joanne! Your output is inspiring! I started blogging in 2005 but took a few years off before coming back. I write for other blogs all the time but am now working on writing consistently for my own. Oh the shoemaker shoes.
One of my favorites. . .a great intersection of technology, business and food (oh…the food. . . so dreamy). Happy Birthday to you!!
Happy Birthday! And thank you for blogging 🙂
Happy Birthday Joanne, always love reading what you have to say about women and tech and being a wife and mother and most of all I enjoy the food! Cheers!
Happy birthday!!
