Two hundred blogs.
When we pressed “publish” on our very first post, Why Craft Your Own Manifesto, we could never have imagined that this small act of reflection would ripple so widely. What began as a personal exploration – two friends writing about purpose, presence, and possibility – has become a weekly rhythm of meaning-making shared by our growing community of My Manifesto mates.
Over these four years we’ve written about white magnolia trees and magpies, about resilience and synchronicity, about the beauty of kindness and the courage of authenticity. We’ve celebrated birthdays, farewelled mentors, and honoured the quiet power of hope. Together, we’ve learned that a manifesto is never finished – it evolves as we do.
Two hundred blogs later, what remains constant is this:
Every comment, conversation, and shared reflection has reminded us that clarity is contagious. When one person chooses to live with awareness, they give others permission to do the same. These ripples – your ripples – reach far beyond what we’ll ever see.
As we celebrate this milestone, we feel deep gratitude for every reader, roadtester, and friend who has walked with us. You have been, quite literally, the wind beneath our wings.
Our invitation is the same today as it was in Blog #1:
Pause. Reflect. Write. Craft your own manifesto – or revisit the one you already have.
Because life truly is better when you have your personal manifesto as your guide.
With love and gratitude,
Sue & Justin
