WordPress 15th Anniversary

Looking for the Light

Has it been 15 years? My original blog on WordPress was Defining Memories which I opened in 2005 and closed when I started Looking for the Light in 2014, that date is in question now. My archives show posts for Looking for the Light starting in 2014 however there are a few extra archives from Defining Memories.

During 2012-2013 I contributed to a toxic collaborative blog until I came to my senses and got the out of Sesspool. The blog may have been toxic but I met several people who are still a part of my life. Gavin from Noir is a dear friend and we talk almost every week, Gavin is an amazing human being and an excellent photographer. Daniel from Hyperion Sky is the best storyteller I’ve ever met and maybe read. He is currently supporting a family member with dementia and doesn’t post often and Army of Angles, she is not blogging at the moment.

In 2014 I was a co-founder of Survivors Blog Here, it was a collaborative site with many talented bloggers from all walks of life. It was all-consuming but it changed my life. It was closed and deleted this year.

The math doesn’t add up but close enough for me.

15 Year Anniversary Achievement

Happy Anniversary with WordPress.com!

You registered on WordPress.com 15 years ago.

Thanks for flying with us. Keep up the good blogging.

Thanks to the support of many, I’m turning 61 years old and haven’t felt this good in years and I’m just getting started. Yes, I’ve slowed down for ongoing health issues and my mental health. Today I put my mental health at the top of the list, every day.

It’s been a wild ride filled with life’s journey, good and bad. Thank you for visiting my blog, following, and commenting, you’ve filled my life with joy.

To the special bloggers in my life, there are no words only gratitude. You’ve helped me grow, soften, and express myself, you’ve mentored me and best of all is the connection with you. :)

Melinda

    1. Yes, some years were hard because I was focused on the wrong things but now I have a clear boundary of how much time I spend and why I blog. It’s for the engagement, sharing important information, and of course having fun. I love blogging today that ever before. Thank for your kind words. :)
