I started blogging in June of 2006.  This is my 1,000th blog post (that image shows 999 from before today).  How cool is that?

I wasn’t sure what I was getting into when I started blogging.  But I was sold early on, and there’s NO looking back.

Thank you, to each of you who have ever read a post, passed something to a friend or group, left a comment (joined the conversation!), or otherwise supported me.

I don’t really get paid to blog, but it supports my business objectives, and has helped me think through many issues in a critical way.  It has helped me develop my corporate brand and my personal brand.  It has shown my strengths and my weaknesses, and made me think about who I am and how I communicate.

Blogging has helped me develop myself as a professional and prepared me to become an author (2 books published, more coming).  It has given me a place to whine and a place to celebrate.  It has helped me know that, even though I work from home, I’m not alone, and that I can touch many, many lives.

Blogging has been empowering and in a weird way, addicting :p

Here’s to another 1,000 posts!
