It was 7 years ago today.

I had been sharing my take on sci-tech, business, health, and finance for decades before that day. Which meant my clients and friends were subjected to frequent (some would say incessant) newsletters, eMails, letters, publications- oh, you get it.

During 2008 and 2009, I began writing a blog- using various venues. But, those were not serious attempts- at least not if one defines serious as making it part of a routine.

But, on 1 June 2010, I decided I would announce to the world I was going to make my blog official, write routinely, come what may. And, once you make such an announcement, you have to carry it through or let the world know you willingly failed.

That last fact is what carried me through the first month. Oh, I am not saying I have never failed. Because, I have had doozies. Many doozies. Most of them have taught me great lessons. Not that I would not have liked to learn those lessons in other ways, but, sometimes, they are the only methods that work.

But, you- my esteemed readers– are what have carried me through this journey every other day. I am thrilled each day to see scores of new subscribers. Even on weekends, when I don’t post, you keep subscribing.  And, trust me, I read each and every name that is added to the amazing number of subscribers and those receiving my RSS feed. (Even those of you who decide that Mr. Mxyzptlk [from my comic-book reading days] was not really that cryptic a name. Really? I promised- and maintain that promise each and every day- not to sell your names or send you trash mail.)

I also appreciate those of you who don’t subscribe, but read my post from time to time.  (Maybe you could read it a few more times?)  Because you are also the reason why I write my blog.  To educate, to inform, to humor, to engage.

And, I don’t accept advertising. Even though that could make this blog a pretty lucrative affair for me. Because I made you a promise that I would provide you facts (and opinions based upon facts that you can verify- I already have the links for you!), with bona-fide references, so you can learn and enjoy your day.  Without commercial endorsements.

And, for that, for your readership and loyalty, I thank you. From the bottom of my heart. It touches me more than you will ever know.

May the Supreme Being bless and keep you.
May the Supreme Being shine its bounty upon you and be gracious to you.
May the Supreme Being maintain support for your endeavors and afford you peace.
Amen.
