"Thanks a million..."

I have to be completely honest here.  I never imagined that my "Leadership Reverie" blog would ever come close to 1 million views.  Perhaps I never believed that I would continue posting for as many years (over ten years) that I have been writing for this blog.  And I certainly never thought that there would be enough interest in what I was writing about to come close to 1 million views.  Officially, as of this morning, my blog has surpassed the 1 million views threshold!

According to Wikipedia, the word million is often used as a metaphor for any very large number.  Have you ever heard or used the phrases, "Not in a million years..." or "You are one in a million..." or even "Let's ask the million dollar question"?  Here are a few fun facts that I discovered about the word million.  Apparently, one million seconds equals 11.57 days.  The total weight of one million average sized honeybees would weigh about the same as an 80 kg (180 lb) human.  And there are approximately one million characters in a typical 600 page paperback book.  In ancient Egypt, the symbol for the word million was the Egyptian god Heh, who was the personification of infinity or eternity.  Even the ancient Egyptians used the word to describe a very large - maybe even impossibly large - number.

I'm not sure that I will ever get to two million views or not, but I will keep writing as long as people are interested in reading!  I want to take this opportunity to thank all of my readers whose leadership journeys continue to inspire me to learn and grow as a leader as well!  And, as the saying goes, "Thanks a million!"
