DEAR READERS,
As we enter the last day of 2022, I can’t let the year slip away without seizing the opportunity to thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Looking back, I am surprised by the results! You might be, too. Let me share.

Let’s get together and feel all right.
Maybe—just maybe—that’s exactly what we’re doing together in our own small way–week by week; post by post–right here in this blog.
I have no idea how you found your way into my life in 2022, but as we welcome 2023, I hope that you will continue to stand by me as we read our way together throughout the New Year!
A huge thank you to the captain of this ship. Your wit, wisdom and humor has been an absolute joy to read in what I’m sure many others would agree, has been a horrible year. A New Year’s cheer to you and the literary journeys 2023 will bring!

Dear Professor Kendrick! The stats tell a story of universal appeal and connectivity, souls gathered around a complex and intriguing thought or proposition. I am both impressed and drawn closer to the web of shared interest. And thank you for turning whimsical observation into a moment of community meaning. Yes. Thank you. Morgan
