When my brother and sister and I were kids, my dad would chart our growth spurts by having us stand up against the doorway of his closet. We'd put our back to the wall, stretch our necks as straight as we could, while Dad ran a pencil from the top of our heads to the wall. Then we would step away and look back. There was Dad marking each of our initials and the date. "DAK August '76," or "MSK Jan '72," or "KLK June '80." We'd get the biggest kick out of checking out how much space there was between the newest line and the old lines.
DarynKagan.com is now 9 months old, still a baby in human years, yet growing by leaps and bounds. Our traffic continues to grow with each month, along with the features we're bringing to you.
We're now officially a Voxant affiliate. Voxant is an exciting new online news cooperative. It means that in addition to our original DarynKagan.com content, we're also able to bring you inspiring stories from around the world courtesy of such prestigious news organizations like Associated Press, CBS News and Reuters.
You can find some of the stories already posted here on DarynKagan.com. There are some good ones on the Animals Story Page. Be sure to check out The Goose Whisperer, and the amazing crocodiles who are so tame they let their handlers brush their teeth and sit on their belly.
Rocker Ted Nugent is dedicating a big monument of love to his mother. You'll find that over on the Celebrities Page.
Find out how a Pizza Hut waitress received a $10,000 tip for her college education. That's over on the Heroes Page.
And, proving it's never too late to go for your dream, a 94-year-old Australian woman has become the oldest person in the world to receive her Masters degree. That's just one of the inspiring stories on Over 60.
I'm thrilled to be able to bring you the additional inspiration. As part of the co-op, I'm now also feeding DarynKagan.com stories to Voxant, which means they will be posted on websites all around the world. Good stuff.
Just between you and me, there is more good stuff right around the corner. In coming weeks, you'll see the opening of the DarynKagan.com online store. You'll be able to order tshirts, mugs, mousepads, stickers, all sorts of items to spread the positive message of inspiration. A portion of all those proceeds will be going to charity.
You'll also be able to pre-ordor my upcoming book, "What's Possible!" It doesn't come out until April, but I guess in this amazing new world we live in, you can make your dibs months in advance through Amazon.com.
I will also have a page listing links to other websites with inspirational content. The goal around here is not to inch up higher on the closet wall, rather to continue to grow as your one-stop shop for online inspiration.
Why start anywhere else?
Of course, all this would not be possible without all the wonderful support you visitors provide everyday. Besides your daily visit, there is no greater support than spreading the word about DarynKagan.com to your friends and family. That's how we are truly growing.
Much appreciated!
