Faithful readers with lots of free time have now read Hidden Blog's first 1,500 posts in less than 2 1/2 years. Some of you know that there are great corporations with a century of experience whose core product has changed over time, and HB has evolved that way too. Thanks to the emergence of Facebook and the blessings of increased readership, the original mission of surpassing Country Joe McDonald to the #1 spot in Google search rankings has faded as a benefit of what the blog's become. By now it's a resource for upbeat memoirs, reflections on leadership and relationships, and occasionally offbeat humor. Personally it's a place of public accountability for my goals and growth, a home page with links to my favorite sites, a means to keep in touch with several family members (some of whom have launched their own fabulous blogs), a therapeutic avenue for creativity, and most recently (and accidentally) a connection to exciting new opportunities like basketball coaching.
So today Hidden Blog's mission statement is not so much changed as clarified to be more accurate and improved: "Fifty monthly posts of fun, love, and good life." A toast to you, good readers, for making the ride so colorful, and may it continue to be so!
