“In which Charlie waxes sentimental”
About one month ago this site was brand new and had one subscriber. There are many more subscribers now, although at the moment I can’t tell you exactly how many as it appears the gremlins have gotten into something. Either way, there are way more of you than I ever ever expected.
But the numbers aren’t really what’s important at the moment. Right now it’s all about you.
Over the past thirty days or so, I’ve made some great friends and received more kind emails and comments than I ever expected to get. I’ve even spoken with a couple of you on the phone, and thus have come to learn that the divide between “stranger” and “friend” is a thin one.
I want to tell you all with deepest gratitude that you have made this endeavor very much worth the effort. You have made designing and running this site a pleasure and a dream come true for me.
This would just be another website amongst the millions of others if it weren’t for the human element Ye Olde Readers bring. It would just be another project and some bits of code without you all. But I have come to love this site for what you have helped make it, and for that I am at your service.
Ignite Living is as much yours as it is mine. Thank you for everything you’ve helped it become.
Charlie

Well, count one more on your subscribers. You write too well and entertain me too much for me to pass your blog up. And thats a refreshing change!

Man, I really appreciate that. Especially with someone with your track record. I’ll admit, gives me a bit of performance anxiety 
PS…I feel like we’re dating now.

@ Charlie – As long as we have time to get to know each other before the engagement. I’m not about rushed arrangements (unless it’s a one-night stand, of course.) And I’m *not* moving in after the marriage. Sorry. Lost too many houses that way.

Thank you, Ron! It’s good to see another new face around here. Thanks for stopping by and your encouraging words.
Hope to see you around s’more.
Finally...a book on freelancing that's not just about taxes, client acquisition and time management.
