Greetings from Brigitte Dale - the Good Mood Blogger
I'm so excited to get started writing this blog! If you've been following the Good Mood Gig Talent Search from the beginning, I don't have to tell you that it was a long and intense process, and the competition was full of amazing writers and bloggers. So of course I feel very lucky (and thrilled!) to have landed the job. For the next six months I'll be posting here five times a week, covering anything and everything to do with good moods.
Simple things that always seem to boost my mood are music, exercise, and a cup of hot tea or coffee. Generally, I consider myself a pretty happy person. But, just like everyone, I'm sometimes susceptible to moodiness and discouragement. That's why I'm looking forward to writing these daily reminders of positive thinking for my own personal benefit as well as the for the readers!
Here's a little bit more about me: I grew up in a small town in Nebraska and moved to the Los Angeles area about a year and a half ago. I started writing and video blogging several years ago as a part-time supplement to my full-time job in marketing. Once I had a taste of the creative flexibility and feeling of connection that blogging gave me, I was hooked! Now I write and produce web videos full time, and I spend my free time reading, cooking, exploring L.A. (getting lost in L.A.), and beach combing and hiking with Maddy, a mixed breed rescue puppy that I adopted nine years ago.
Please feel free to let me know what you'd like to see from me on this blog over the next several months. I'm hoping to make it timely, interactive, fun, and not all just about me and my dog :) Thank you for reading, and I'll see you back here tomorrow!
P.S. I've recently had a lot of people ask me whether I've personally taken SAM-e Complete®. I have not tried it yet, but I'm excited to check it out for myself in the coming weeks!

Yay!
I'm looking forward to your posts and the fine folks who follow your work and contribute to the dialogue via their comments. I hope you share some recipes and music selections with us that cheer you up.
I hear that you're having some Nebraska-like weather in LA today! I hope that brought a smile to your eyes.

Hello,Brigitte.
I am so glad your series has started. It will be making me be in a good mood, for the duration of the job. Have fun.
Joe Wednesday, January 20, 2010
Will you be telling us how to make a cupcake with Sam-e complete as an added ingredient?
Bud Wednesday, January 20, 2010
Hey Brigitte,
It’s great to see that you are off to a great start. I know that there are many of us that wish you well and are looking forward to your daily blogs. Just reading your first blog put me in a good mood already.
Thus I am looking forward to tomorrow and the days to come.
And if your are worried about the blogs being about just you and Maddy, don’t. For one you are far too creative to let that happen, and for another, we won’t let you. You are well aware of your friend’s opinions and how we tend to get carried away with our comments.
So see you tomorrow.

Will you be posting videos as well? I love those the most!
Brian Washington Wednesday, January 20, 2010
Congradulations on your sucess. I was wondering I just started my own blog, and was hoping for any suggestions you may have about getting it off the ground
Michael Wednesday, January 20, 2010
Me too. This is going to be the best!
Chris Wednesday, January 20, 2010
Your first blog post worked. I'm in a good mood now!
Looking forward to reading everyday :)

Hey Brigitte,
Very glad to see you here, missed you.
I'd like to see a 'random found object of the week that made me smile' slot evolve over your time here.
Happy daze
: )
Mark Wednesday, January 20, 2010
oh...
P.S. we may need a more catchy title than 'random found object of the week that made me smile', rfotwtmms hmmm.... rufotwutumms, sounds like an indigestion remedy? I'll keep thinking.

Congrats to Brigitte for winning the contest to have this job. I voted a lot and told many people to vote also. We all look forward to reading future articles.
@Osmyn - you are correct the RSS feed is broken, some one fix it please.

Thanks for all the encouragement! (and the heads up about the RSS feed)
Sana, the answer to the question about video posts is ... maybe :)
Brian Washington - the best advice I can give about getting started with a new blog is to just keep posting. Not only will practice improve your blogging, but also frequent posts are the only way to really encourage a readership to grow. If you want to become one of the blogs that people check on every day, there should be something new to check out there every time they check in! (I could learn this advice myself lately...)
And Mark, that's a really good idea, thank you!
Rob Wednesday, January 20, 2010
Awesome! Can't wait to see what you'll be posting!

For many people; pets are a good mood booster and their #1 companion
