I want 2022 to be the year where I tried new things, refined my knowledge in others, and learned skills that I have been wanting to try out for years! I thrive when I am learning and my hope is that with more knowledge will come increased confidence. Here are a few skills I want to learn or refine!

1. Learn how to use my new camera

I dream of taking beautiful editorial photos for this blog and sharing snippets of my life via vlogging. My wonderful husband got me a beautiful new camera for Christmas and it has so many capabilities and I want to learn everything I can about it so I can utilize it to its fullest potential.

2. Video Editing

I love unwinding and watching YouTube videos! I have always thought it would be fun to try my hand at vlogging and learning how to edit videos is an important part of being able to get them up on YouTube!

3. Photography/Editing Photos

I love photography and I would love to increase the quality of the photos here on Learning to Bloom. I really want to learn more about photography and what goes into taking beautiful photos and the editing process!

4. SEO for the blog

I bought access to an SEO course from The Blog Societies a few months ago and have yet to even start it. I know that SEO is important when driving traffic to my site and I would love to increase readership this year!

5. Growing vegetables

I think I will forever be learning when it comes to gardening. This year in particular I want to focus on learning about soil and how to feed it in order to yield a better crop!

6. Growing Flowers

I experimented with growing new types of flowers last summer and I LOVED it! I want to grow more new varieties this year and add more perennials to the landscape in my backyard.

Are there any new skills you’re want to learn this year?
