Congratulations, Kevin!

On 800 subscribers!

Emperor gorilla, thank you for all your kind contributions throughout WordPress!

If anyone deserves this recognition – it’s you.

Every week, you bring to us your beautiful images for inspiration and motivation. No doubt, many have been able to express their creative thoughts and talents all thanks to you, as well as connect with others through your hard work and dedication.

Here’s to 800 more and beyond!

We couldn’t have elected a better gorilla for the prestigious title of Mayor of WordPress!

Your beautiful writing, your motivational posts, your funny random thoughts, your silliness, your moving and heartfelt poetry, your photos, and the messages you send with all your thoughtful energy as well as care for others you’ve demonstrated show what a true soul you are.

And I can only hope to one day have your handsome gorilla expertise! 😆 🦍

I am proud of you. You have come so far, whether you realize it or not.

And I know especially, there have been ups and downs with writing, and creating, and there probably always will be. You’ve gone out of your way many times to bring No Theme Thursday to us even on little sleep and while trying to adjust to working 5906 different schedules.

You are appreciated. Highly. Never forget that.

We’re ready for your acceptance speech! 🎤

On a personal note: I never thought I would be able to meet someone so amazing like you on a blog site. It was most unexpected, but I am forever grateful. We connected first through writing and continue to do so, but more importantly – I hope the bond we share will last a lifetime.

You have been there for me through some hardships, and I am truly so appreciative of you.

Love, always. ❤️

And thank you, for being you.

Do I still get to be your campaign manager, Mr. Mayor? 😆

Now, here’s to another year of blogging!

P.S. – And don’t forget, we’ve got a Governor’s position to campaign for! (You need a promotion, after all!)

  9. Well, to say I don’t even know where to begin is an understatement.
    Thank you seems like a very good place 💗😍

    I’m at bit of a loss for words I must admit.
    When I started doing this last year, I had no expectations at all really. It was mostly just a place to put my thoughts and feelings down in an attempt to process and get through them.

    What it became far surpassed anything I could imagine. It has helped me find laughter, it’s made me shed the occasional tear, and it brought many special people into my life.

    One in particular, of course. 💗

    Dearest Laura,
    I am beyond grateful to have met you, and while I am not always the best at expressing myself in matters such as these, I hope you know what a light you are in my life and how deeply I appreciate the love and support you show me all the time. I hope, in my own way, I have returned that to you.

    To the WP community, I extend my deepest thanks. You creativity, wit, kindness and support are unparalleled, and I genuinely enjoy and am thankful for the interactions we share on the regular.

    A man (or gorilla), could hardly ask for more.

    All my best, always. 🙏🙏

    • Thank you so much, my brother. I am beyond humbled by al the kindness displayed here today. It truly warms my heart to know that I may have made even a small difference in everyone’s day. A man cannot ask for a finer honor than that.
      While we all at times get caught up in the day to day, the likes and the follows, it’s moments like this that truly matter. It’s times like this that remind us why we create and why we share. 🙏🙏
