And it has nothing to do with making money!

This is my first article of 2024, and it’s unlike any other article I have written on Medium. After six years on Medium, I’m writing this article simply to say, “Thank you.”

I LOVE thoughtful, challenging, and inspiring engagement! That’s why I read and write on Medium. I have also come to value and appreciate the community I have found on Medium.

If you’re reading this article because of the headline, I guess you could stop reading since I’ve just shared what I love most about Medium. I do, however, have more to say about this.

Here’s how it all began

I began reading Medium articles in 2018. During that year, I wrote eight articles. Those early articles were inspired by the excellent articles I was reading at that time and the conversations I was able to participate in as a result of the “reply” option.

I purchased a Medium membership in 2019, primarily to support independent writers that I enjoyed reading. I only wrote three articles that entire year. I was much more interested in reading and enjoying the writing of others than sharing my own writings.
