I didn’t believe it possible. I’m so filled with gratitude that today I passed the 100 mark. It meant so much to me when WordPress sent the notification of this new achievement.
First, it means that something I’ve written mattered in some way to far more people than I dreamed possible. That is truly humbling and moving.
Second, it means that if some who followed me two years ago are no longer reading, many still are. The stats page tell me that people visit me from all over the world, and to me, that is astonishing. The United States is a bubble for most who live here and never have the means to travel, or for those too prejudiced to bear the thought of being amidst other races and cultures. I see the flags of other countries on my stats and I’m filled with awe and gratitude. Perhaps there’s hope for the future after all.
We must reach in some way. I don’t understand how, but I don’t need to. I love and appreciate you all, each one of you. You have made me feel something unexpected: happiness.
Again, thank you, from my heart, thank you so much.
