1 Year Ago Today . . .

December 20th, 2013

One December night when I didn't have to get up early for work and I didn't have Christmas wrapping to worry about, I marveled over the first ever Postcrossing cards I'd ever received. On a whim, I decided to write about them on a blog like the ones I'd seen a lot of other iggles keeping up in their spare time, where they talk about their interests and about their lives and where other people are able to invest in their lives in a whole new way that doesn't involve simply clicking a "Like" button. I started off by sharing the mail I received each day, whether it be letters from my amazing pen pals or Postcrossing cards or random packages I ordered and had delivered in the mail. It grew from there, and here we are today, a year older and a year wiser :)

The readership and the support I've received through this blog has made me so incredibly happy, and I cannot thank you guys enough for all that you have given me. I just wanted to quickly say that I appreciate every single one of you and I hope that I'll be able to continue to expand what The Written Word(s) means, not just to me but to all of you as well.

I believe that's all I have to say for now. If you guys have any ideas or suggestions on what you would like to see on this blog in the future - posts you liked, posts you didn't like, more giveaways, etc. - let me know in the comments below and I promise to read and reply to every single one. All of you guys, the readers, make me and this blog better, and I couldn't have come this far without you.

Here's to another year of keeping you posted!
