DAY THIRTEEN | A SECRET BLOGMAS 2025

“I think one of life’s great milestones is when a person can look back and be almost as thankful for the setbacks as for the victories.”

Bob Dole

Welcome to A Secret Blogmas 2025!

Today is Day Thirteen and this thirteenth post is all about the beneficial impact there is if you – as a content creator – celebrate the milestones in your content creation. In this post, I’ll be looking at exactly what is meant by a ‘milestone’ for content creators, why they’re important, and how to celebrate them publicly. I’ll also be chatting about my own milestones and how and why I have celebrated them publicly too. Keep reading to find out why and how publicly celebrating your content creation milestones can impact the success and popularity of your content and/or your platform…

A QUICK, BUT HUGE, THANK YOU TO CATS PROTECTION’S CELEBRITY & INFLUENCER RELATIONSHIP MANAGER: ALICE, BEFORE LEAVING THE CHARITY…

“Don’t let the sun go down without saying thank you to someone, and without admitting to yourself that absolutely no one gets this far alone.”

Stephen King

Dear Alice,

Thank you!

Thank you for being one of the first, most Senior staff from Cats Protection to have faith in my ability to create content, faith in I’m NOT Disordered’s potential, and faith in the very real chance of success our collaborations could have.

One of my most favourite memories of our online relationship though, wasn’t about ‘work’ and collaborations… I remember contacting you in April 2021 after the loss of my first bunny; Pixie about the impact her death was having on my first rescue calico kitten; Emmy. There are not many people I would turn to in that situation – and especially not to ask for advice – but you were the one. I think this speaks volumes for our working relationship and for your passion and interest in the entirety of Cats Protection’s cause and the very reason you’re all here. Not a lot of charity staff have such a dedication and investment in both their career and responsibilities and the cause and work of the actual charity they’re working for too. It’s a rarity and something which really helps you to stand out as both incredibly special and incredibly important in Cats Protection and actually, in my blog’s entire journey too!
