Hey there! It’s Sunday night here in Sydney and I’m trying not to think about work tomorrow haha. I received a notification this week to say I had posted 500 times on my blog, quite the milestone, for me at least.

I just want to say a big THANK YOU for all your support and quietly encouraging me to keep blogging. Admittedly, I am not the best blogger in the world and I have many time constraints but I do love blogging when I can and absolutely love engaging with the blogging community. I hope I am able to make a small impact and even make you smile while reading one of my posts.
Riding on the high of my 500 posts, I thought this would be a good time to announce my new blogging series entitled “Wayne’s Word”. I have been thinking about this for a while now and feel that this is the perfect time to start my own blogging series.
Wayne’s Word
It’s a little nod to Wayne’s World, but instead of ‘party time, excellent’ (if you are aware of the cult nineties classic) I will be diving into one WORD each day. It could be something I learned, something bizarre that happened, a favourite word that I have rediscovered or just a thought that won’t leave me alone.
I’ll do my best to share a word each day—but life has its own rhythm, and some days might be quieter than others. This isn’t about perfection. It’s about presence. And whenever the words come, I will be here to share them.
If you’re joining in on today’s word, feel free to use this tag to connect your post to the series: #WaynesWord
I also have my own logo that you are welcome to add to your post but no pressure 😝

Stay tuned for my first word coming tomorrow and again, many, many thanks!

Many congratulations on the milestone, Wayne.
I’ve been blogging for 11 years and have no idea how many blog posts I’ve published, as I’ve deleted many over the years. Here’s to the next 500!

Thanks Hugh. Oh I’m sure yours are plentiful. Funny I was thinking about this as I have deleted some posts too. I was thinking does it only count the current posts or does it count all posts created. I would have to ask the happy engineers to find out maybe.

It only counts the current posts, Wayne. Any deleted posts are taken off the number they say have been published. I’m currently on 422 posts, and I know that figure does not include any posts I deleted. Once they are gone, they are gone.
