Voice Hits 30K on the 1^st of May

Today, http://voice.wordpress.com passed the 30k mark in hits.  I am amazed, thrilled, delighted, and thank­ful to all who have vis­ited the site.  While there are thou­sands of sites that draw that kind of traf­fic sev­eral times over every day, I am thrilled that my mod­est offer­ing of posts has been able to steadily evolve and grow over the last 18 months.  Since start­ing voice, I have exchanged email mes­sages with authors like Seth Godin and Mihaly Csik­szent­mi­haly, and even got to hang out with author and blog­ger John Moore.  I have chron­i­cled the expe­ri­ence of being down­sized out of a job, search­ing for and find­ing a new job in a pinch, and ulti­mately land­ing my cur­rent posi­tion here at Hafen­brack Mar­ket­ing.   Right here in Day­ton, I have even had strangers intro­duce them­selves to me on the street a time or two — hav­ing rec­og­nized me from read­ing the site.  In a nut­shell — it has been a great ride so far.  I look for­ward to con­tin­u­ously improv­ing the look, feel, and con­tent of the site as we approach the 40k mark.  Thanks to all who have vis­ited so far.  It means a lot to know that I am not the only one read­ing this stuff.  (I prob­a­bly only account for 15k of the 30)  Please keep com­ing back, shar­ing your voice with me, and bring­ing oth­ers into the con­ver­sa­tion.  Thanks!
