[14 years ago this week, this blog was born. For this year’s anniversary series, I wanted to highlight a handful of the types of posts that have kept me blogging for nearly a decade and a half now. Leading up to some special weekend tributes!]
Two years
ago, I dedicated my
entire anniversary series to sharing my 25 most recent (at that time) Guest
Posts, a tribute as I noted to how much such connections to others, and the
opportunity to share their words and ideas, has helped me keep the blog going. In
recent years the roster of Guest Posters has included a growing number of Fitchburg
State students as well as
both of my
sons, making this aspect of the blog even more meaningful than ever
(although the very
first Guest Post was written by Mom, so they’ve always been plenty meaningful!).
But even with the many Guest Posters whom I’ve never met in person—and in some
ways especially with that cohort, to whom I would never have become connected
without the blog—the chance to feature their work here has been a true
privilege as well as a pleasure. When I ask y’all to consider Guest Posting, it’s
at least as much for me as it is (I hope) an opportunity for you—and in any case,
it’s one of the things that most definitely keeps me coming back.
Last post
on posts tomorrow,
Ben
PS. Give
me a great anniversary present and say hi in comments, please!
