On April 23rd, 2008 I sat down at my computer first thing in the morning, and wrote a few sentences in a sort of welcome message to a brand-new blog. I didn't know if I would do it for long, but I wanted to sing the praises of some heroes and encourage people to do good things for their neighbors and the world.
It was my intention to only write about others. I didn't want to do a blog about my vacations or my family or about my favorite food. As a daily reminder, I decided to call it "It's NOT about me." I think I have been pretty good at sticking to that over these past sixteen years.
Sixteen years! That's the big surprise for me. I had no idea I would be doing this for so long. There is still a lot to say too, so I will continue. I'd like to hear from you too. Tell me about your heroes and and some encouraging stories. After doing this for almost ten years, I began a second blog, that one about kindness. I intend to continue that as well.
