About two thousand people a week read MadeByMark.com.
Many of these are total strangers. (I’ve already had the odd experience of meeting certain people for the first time … and having them say, “Oh, yeah, I read your web site all the time.”) Some are friends. Some are family.
Problem is, while reading the blog makes you feel that you’ve “touched base” with me … I often don’t know you’ve been here!
So, just for today, let’s turn things around. If you’re reading this, why not drop me a quick note, or leave a comment? Just a “Hey, saw the site and thought I’d say hello!” will do.
Don’t worry. I’m not collecting email addresses for a mass spam campaign. I’m not Mr. Lonelyheart, looking for new friends and penpals (in fact, right up front, limited time and energy prohibits me from answering these notes — so please don’t take it personally if you don’t hear back from me).
I’m just curious. If I invite passers-by to say, “Hello” — how many will actually take the time to do it?
Hey Mark! I stop by here for a visit about twice a week – you’re quite the gracious host. I really enjoy the sincerity that comes through in your writing…and the humor, of course! Next time I’m in the neighborhood, I’ll plan on bringing a covered dish as a token of my appreciation. Until then, you’ll have to settle for a simple thank you. 🙂
