When I first started blogging I had no idea I would publish 2,446 of them (yes this is # 2-freaking-thousand-4-hundred-46!

Every business day.

Now I write as a therapy and a hobby and a habit and a thinking person’s need to gather other thinking people around and open new brain cells globally.

It’s a challenge that I undertook to be amazing-er than my competitors. Is it easy? Hell no.

But I do gain satisfaction from new followers of the blog or on my LinkedIn profile, and many of you have replied to me, or professionally argued, or agreed, or just plain created conversation among the readers.

I savor the conversations. I relish in your taking time to comment. I appreciate the kind words. I write so you will have something (hopefully) interesting to read about LinkedIn every day and humanize it when it seems to be a voracious data hog more than a global chat room for human ideas.

That’s a reward I never anticipated.

Drink from the water cooler that LinkedIn is, with me. And clink plastic water cups with so many other great folks!
