Thought I’d try something a little different here on The Happy Holly Project.

A new picture, a new layout, and … surprise, surprise … a mention or two of the kind accolades folks have seen fit to bestow on yours truly.

I’ve not made much mention out here about nice things that have happened to me … blog wise.

But reality is that I’ve met a fantastic group of people. Reality is I’ve been blessed with viewers from around the world. Reality is that some kind people have given me awards.

So beside the superficial changes here … picture at the top and whatnot … I’m also allowing that I have over 500 folks who read me as followers. There are almost (but not quite) 100 folks who follow me on Facebook. I’m even showing some faces.

Out of the 249 countries that have two-letter abbreviations, this blog has been privileged to be read by folks in 126 of them. (See the list below)

Between the WordPress stats and a few other sets of stats that I use (none of which line up exactly) I’ve discovered that my daily experiences (and the pictures that go along with them) seem to resonate all over.

And for all of this I am exceedingly grateful.

So … enjoy the new look … and onward to the new year of blogging !!
