The Mystic Review turned 15 years old yesterday August 22nd and received its millionth page view last week. Like most bloggers these days, I get a fair amount of bot traffic, but it’s still a milestone I never expected to see.
I am less active here than I once was, but I still post monthly and have no intention of stopping.
Right now I'm working on a dream memoir based on the Spirit Dream and the spiritual journey that followed—and where I ended up.
I chronicled that journey here—and even when I faltered or got things wrong, the blog and those who read it were there for me. I talk about The Mystic Review a lot in the memoir and I don't think I can overstate how important writing here has been for me.
The Spirit Dream saved me after personal tragedy, yes, but when I hit a wall two years later, it was the blog that helped me find my way through. And that happened repeatedly over the last decade and a half.
Learning is its own reward, but not always and knowing that people were interested in my posts meant more than I can say. So I want to thank everyone who has followed and supported me through all the ups and downs.
And I want to wish a happy belated birthday to my old friend, The Mystic Review!
