OMG - Blog of Note!

It's been a little over six years since I started this blog. I did so because I wanted to exercise my inner writer and extend my boundaries a little bit into the social media space. Written Inc. has allowed me to meet and be inspired by some truly incredible people.

I didn't set out for any kind of recognition, but the Google Gods have apparently decided otherwise, as they've named this silly little corner of the blogosphere their Blog Of Note for September 8th. It's not an Oscar, an Emmy, or even a Daytime Emmy. It won't radically change my life any, but it's a neat little shot of happiness that reinforces why I still enjoy doing this all these years later.

It's also a nice way to end a year I'd rather forget. Perhaps this is another sign of what lies ahead. One can always hope.

Your turn: If you've arrived here by way of the Blogger homepage, or the Blogs Of Note entry, welcome! I hope you'll take a few minutes to poke around and read a few random entries. I also hope you like what you see, and leave a breadcrumb or two so you'll return soon. There's always room for more folks at the conversational table.

Onward...

  12. Love Blogs of Note. I read just a few of your blogs and really enjoyed them. Not enough men writing them in my opinion. Just started blogging a few weeks ago so if you care to check them out I'd appreciate. I have two. This and That and Bouncin' Thru Life. Will definitely follow you.

  28. Congratulations, sir!

    I found you in the "blogs of note" section, and you've won yourself a new follower in addition to the "Blog of Note" award.

    I, too, have a blog. It has not won any awards.

  29. Congrats on making Blogs of Note. This is how I came across your blog. You are an excellent writer. I'm brand new to the world of blogging. I started because I found it a bit therapeutic to voice my opinions on this crazy world of ours. I don't expect that I will ever make "Blogs of Note" but I'm OK with that. I don't really expect people to read my blogs and I'm also OK with that. Congrats again and if you have any tips for a brand spanking new blogger, I'm all ears.
