There's not really much to say other than a resounding expression of gratitude for those of you who read this blog, share its content, and otherwise encourage me to stay on the blogging path. I began this journey back when most of us didn't even know what we were doing, and it's been fun to see how I've grown as a writer over these years.
Back when Digital Doorway first launched, it was done on a lark and nursing wasn't the intended focus. However, as the blog gained traction, I found that when I did indeed write about nursing and healthcare, the response and engagement were exponentially more robust. So, over the years, those earlier personal posts have been culled (but don't worry, I've archived them for other purposes!) and the site's nursing-centric focus has thus solidified.
I maintain this blog in a state of freedom from ads, sponsored posts, and other commercial interests. While I may occasionally review books by friends and colleagues, promote conferences where I'm speaking, or otherwise talk about cool things out there in the nursing world, this blog isn't about making money or driving traffic to my Amazon Affiliate page; it's about kickass content for nurses and healthcare professionals, as well as those interested in such topics. There may have been some promotion here and there of companies I support, but it's always with an eye towards producing value for you, my Readers.
Anyway, thank you from the bottom of my heart for yet another year of Digital Doorway! Keep coming back, follow my social media feeds and my podcasts, and let me know how you are, what you're thinking about, what's troubling you, and how I can continue to serve you. And next year, we'll have to throw a digital "Blog Mitzvah" as Digital Doorway hits 13!
Cheers, and pass the cake!
