Ye Olde Blogoversary 19
When I was little, I couldn’t wait to be 19. It’s a fun word to say in another language I speak, and I planned to say my age every chance I got. But I forgot all about it as I aged.
The night before I turned 20, I was getting ready to meet a friend for my birthday dinner. I remembered how much I wanted to be 19 when I was a kid, but I also realized it was the last day I would be 19, and I barely ever told anyone my age. I had wasted 19! I asked everyone to ask my age as much as possible that night. It was going to be the last time I got to tell anyone I was 19.
Luckily, I remembered this in time for my blog to turn 19. I get to have a full year of telling people that this site is 19. You know, for all those times that people stop you and say, “Hey, how old is your blog?”
Thank you for continuing to show up here and read the posts. It means a lot to me, especially now when the internet can sometimes feel very loud. I like my quiet space, and I’m glad you’re here, too.

Happy Blogoversary! Your words have been a source of information, entertainment, and connection for probably…18 of those 19 years for me. Thanks for putting in all the work and putting out this great thing.
Mel, how old is your blog?
I like your quiet space too. Thank you for continuing to connect women with the resources they need. Happy 19th!
