Good morning, friends, family, and fans of Mirror Time!
It's been our great pleasure to hear from so many of you that are enjoying our work and those of you that are seeing the value of what we are putting out in a world with so much other "stuff" all over the social media pages, forums, and throughout the blogosphere.
It's our desire to continue to uplift, encourage, inspire, and shine a little light wherever possible.
Let's be honest for a moment. This is not the most popular blog you can find. I would like to believe that's because don't know about us yet or perhaps we don't offer to delve into the world many blog enthusiasts want to live in. We don't talk about technology and gaming. We don't offer insights into the minds of Hollywood's elite. We don't teach you "How To" tips on how to make your old house look new. All we do is, in our own unique way, to try to offer something hopeful and inspiring in a time where it is needed the most. That may not amount to much to the masses but I know enough people that say they need this and it matters to them so as long as there is a demand for it, Dang! will continue to live on another day....
We reached a small milestone where we have published 80 blogs to date and that is a great accomplishment for us due to the time we started and how many blogs we could get out to our readers monthly. I fully expect that number to rise even higher and we're excited about our 100th blog. Maybe we will do something really special that day for one of our faithful readers. Apologies for the formatting issues that we had with the page for several weeks. They have been fully resolved and we're back to the professional look that we come to expect from TTMYGD! Thank you for your patience!
This is not the first blog I have been associated with or have built but this is definitely the best and most honest. The reaction to the pieces are not always without controversy as we don't shy away from tough topics. But even though our readers have both laughed and cried, I think they will agree that more than anything they have thought about and saw things a little different than before they joined our readership. That is the greatest prize of them all and the goal of Mirror Time! Be outraged. Be somber. Be aware. Be demonstrative. Be active. But by all means, be thoughtful. The moment we start reacting to the headlines and neglect to read the content, we slowly lose our ability to be introspective, to educate ourselves, and to make competent decisions. We will simply react to "external stimuli" and lose a very valuable and necessary part of ourselves. This blog was born as a response to that and an alternative for those that get why this is critical for all of us.
As much as we can clearly see the growth of this blog that is near and dear to our hearts, we see much room for growth. As much as it is shared on social media and in the email inboxes of our friends, we know we can't do this without you, the reader. That's a perfect time to say a sincere "Thank You" to all of you that have been reading Dang! from day one and have subscribed with us. I can't say enough about your support and even some of your hilarious and thoughtful comments. You are even making us think too and that's something we appreciate. Thank you. Thank you. THANK YOU!!!
One of the coolest things about our blog is that there is no limit to what we might post about. From our mobile office, we could write and post our blogs from anywhere we are in the world. Some of the most beautiful landscapes and the most interesting of conversations with strangers could become the backdrop for our next piece. That's exciting! You never know where we might end up next and who we might meet.
We look forward to giving you more insightful posts about everything from the world of sports, to issues on personal and spiritual growth, politics, and even some of the fun quizzes that have left most of our readers stumped and surprised. Keep your suggestions and those comments coming! We love to see them and we love to hear from you. I don't know how long this blog will live but we're committed to doing all we can while we can.
If you haven't been reading from the beginning, go back to the beginning and grow us with us on this incredible journey. Thank you again,
Sincerely yours,
Mr. Yu
'You might laugh. You might cry. You might get mad. But my ultimate goal is to make you think!'
