“…I like to start my notes to you as if we’re already in the middle of a conversation. I pretend that we’re the oldest and dearest friends as opposed to what we actually are. People who don’t know each other’s names…”
Well, that’s not entirely true. You know my name. 
Some people may tell you that blogs are reserved for only the most self-absorbed people. In the process of writing this blog, I’ve found the opposite to be true.
The Daily V has forced me out of my comfort zone. It has taught me so much about my friends, family, and the wonderful city we live in. And as long as there are new things to learn, The Daily V will be alive and kicking.
I started this blog with little consideration as to what I’d write about, how long I’d write, or who (if anyone) would read it.
But 1 year, 67 posts, and 6,835 hits later, I’m still here.
I don’t know much about my readers. But if I’ve helped one person bake a cookie, or made one person laugh… then I consider The Daily V a success.
A huge thank-you to my friends, family, and everyone who has stuck with my little project from the beginning.
But just in case you’re new, I present you with:
