Next Milestone...18 'Likes' Away


Earlier today I posted the following on Facebook:

"Yay! My blog page The Dialogue Den just got another 'like'...and from someone I don't even know. Word must be getting out about how FABULOUSLY interesting it is. Sure would love it if the folks who actually DO know me (that's all of YOU) would 'like' the page too. Please and Thank You!"

That meant so much to me to see that someone, somewhere, who I don't even know has found my page somewhere along the way and said, "I like what she has to say, and I like it so much that I don't want to miss out on anything." Click {that was the sound of the 'like' button being pressed.}

At that moment I realized what I was going to post about today. I knew that this post was going to be about that stranger who had enough faith in me (someone she doesn't even know), to show support by 'liking' my page. That spoke volumes.

That one new supporter, follower, 'liker', was going to be what I was THANKFUL for today.

But...

It didn't stop there.

As the day progressed, the 'likes' increased. Wow! I got a bit weepy because I felt that folks are FINALLY starting to "get me" and understand that this my "thing." This is what I LOVE. This is ME. And they have decided to support ME in being ME. Again...gettin' a little weepy.

At this very moment, the tally for new 'likes' today is four. I'm just 18 'likes' away from 200. Oh how I would LOVE to get there by my birthday in 28 more days. Perhaps I should start a campaign: "18 'likes' in 28 days"...or somethin' like that. We'll see.

Anyhoo...as you may have guessed by now...on THIS day, "30 Days of THANKFULNESS: Day 3 - I am ever so THANKFUL for ALL 182 of the folks who have 'liked' The Dialogue Den's page on Facebook. Your support toward my writing efforts means more to me than you can imagine. To each and EVERY one of you, I sincerely say THANK YOU. I hope that I keep you interested and wanting to come back for more each day. For those who are new to "The Den," this blog is pretty much the "written version" of ME. It's as random as I am, so you will rarely (probably never) see me post about the SAME topic two days in a row. The "theme" may be the same, as it is currently with "30 Days of THANKFULNESS," but I very rarely write about the same subject twice. My MIND is always shifting gears, so as a result, the posts here will too.

Some folks are political bloggers. That's their thing and it's what they do well.
Some are faith-based bloggers.
Some write solely about issues pertaining to women.
Others write solely about issues pertaining to men.
And the list goes on.

Those folks write about what they do because it's what they know well.

I know a little about a lot of things, and a lot about a few things. There's no rhyme or reason here, and that works BEST for ME. I'm a "go with the flow" kinda gal, and The Dialogue Den flows in whatever direction I steer it on any given day.

So if you stop by one day and that particular day's post doesn't jump out at you...try back the next day, or the next day. Eventually, I'll land on your street.

For now...Let the DIALOGUE begin: Do you have a page on Facebook? If so, tell us what it is so that we can 'like' it.

Talk to me!

Til next time...
