Happy New Year 2012 -Happy TransGriot Blogiversary!

It's 2012.. Happy New Year TransGriot readers!   

Today also happens to be TransGriot blogiversary in which on this date six years ago my first post went up on my then fledgling blog. 

Six years later I have over 3.2 million hits and counting on this blog, over 5000 posts, a worldwide following, multiple nominations and awards for what I write here and the love, respect and admiration of my blogging peers and people inside and outside the trans community.

But without you loyal readers stopping by on a regular basis, spending your valuable web surfing time reading the posts I compile here and recommending them to your friends and associates, I wouldn't have achieved it as quickly as I have. 

Yes, I have mad writing skills and talent.  A lot of hard work has gone into building this blog and is a major  part of my formula for success here, but you readers are the most important piece of it.   

You can bet that I'll have a lot to say about what's going on in 2012 inside and outside the trans community here in the States and around the world.

Will I write more than 1563 posts like I did last year?   Well, considering it's a critical election year in the United States and the Summer Olympics are just two of the major events happening in 2012, maybe.

Happy New Year!
 

Happy New Year 2012*

To all my TransGriot readers west of the International Date Line!

Hope you had a wonderful holiday season and as we move into 2012 I sincerely hope and pray that you will have 366 days (yep it's a leap year) of blessings and wonderful things happening for you in it.

There were also some wonderful things happening in various nations trans wise on your side of the International Date Line, and I pray that forward momentum continues.  I also hope and pray that the nations in the Asian Pacific rim that have resisted recognizing their trans citizens human rights will actually read the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the Yogyakarta Principles and shed that jacked up thinking in 2012  

I also thank you for continuing to visit my blog and helping to make it the successful award winning place it is and to the best of my ability will continue to be. 

And best of all the Olympics are happening in a few months!

Hope you didn't party too hard last night because we have work to do.   Let's get busy with the ongoing challenge of not only successfully educating and enlightening people in our various nations about who we transpeople are, I pray that we get one step closer to having our human rights in our various nations be respected, protected and codified into law.

Happy New Year 2011*!

To my TransGriot readers west of the International Date Line, it is already New Year's Day for you,  so I'd like to take a moment to wish you all a very happy one..   I know you're probably as happy to see 2010 go bye bye as many of us are here on the eastern side of the date line who are still waiting for midnight to come so we can get our party on..

May 2011 be a year full of opportunities and abundant blessings for us all.
