I Have The Most Awesome Readers In The WORLD.

I have, without a doubt, the most awesome readers… in the WORLD.

This isn’t a new discovery for me. I’ve known it for a loooong time. I just don’t know if YOU know it. Or if you know how much I appreciate you.

It was just about this time, four years ago, that I started this blog. Some of you have been with me the entire time. Over the years, you’ve gotten to know me, and I’ve gotten to know some of you.

One of my favorite parts of blogging is getting feedback from my readers. I know you exist. I look at my stats and I see how many people visit this site. But those are just numbers.

The real magic is when I get an email, comment, a Facebook message or a shout-out on Twitter. That’s when it becomes real to me.

And this may sound crazy… But it still blows me away that all of you are actually really out there. That you take time out of your busy day to read my words.

I will never stop being amazed at that. I will always be humbled by that. And I will always have a huge amount of gratitude for the fact that you care enough about what I’m saying to keep coming back, day after day, week after week, year after year.

I will never be able to say “Thank You” loud enough.

I have been through quite a few things since starting this blog. I’ve moved across the country, left my husband of 10 years, got a divorce, found out that I had Pernicious Anemia and almost died in the process, moved into my first place that was all mine … and most recently, quit my day job. All of that, in four short years.

Of course, my family and friends were a great support system. Trust me, I love my family more than anything, and I have some of the most awesome friends anyone could ever ask for.

But YOU – my readers – have been some of my biggest cheerleaders through all of those things. And last week was no exception.

I posted on my blog and wrote in my newsletter about how last week would be my last week at my day job. Within seconds, I had a flood of emails coming in, people posting on Facebook and Twitter, and commenting on my blog. Everyone was telling me congratulations and giving me virtual high fives, telling me that they were super excited and that I had made the right choice.

I must say, it totally made my day to receive such an awesome amount of emails, comments, and messages.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

For all the messages, for reading this blog, and for giving a rat’s ass about what I say.

I mean that. From the bottom of my heart.
