Today is the 16th blogaversary of Whirled Musings,
which first saw the blight of day on July 27, 2006. I want to
thank my small group of regular readers for your continued
reading over the years, even when I got redundant and obsessive
and boring, which, as I noted on last year's blogaversary post,
is is probably more often than even I am willing to admit. I
especially want to thank everyone who posted comments over the
years, even the ones blasting me for any number of real or
imaginary sins.
I most especially want to thank those of you who have made
monetary donations to this blog. They're always appreciated, even
more so now. If you'd like to help Whirled Musings celebrate its
16th birthday, here's a handy link to do just that. Whether you donate or not, thank you for visiting.
I'll have more soon.

Colleen Conaway: thirteen years since her death at a James Arthur Ray event
Never forget. In case you have forgotten,
or you didn't know in the first place, here's the story of Colleen Conaway's death, with links
to further information.
The person responsible for the death of Colleen Conaway in July
2009, as well as the deaths of three other people at a subsequent
event in October 2009 -- and the physical injuries and emotional
traumas/spiritual crises of numerous others -- is James Arthur Ray.
Ray is still struggling to recreate his glory daze as an A-list
selfish-help huckster, promoting his shticks on Twitter, among other
platforms. But although he currently has more than 96,000
followers on Twitter, his posts get very few "likes" or
retweets. That must be a real burn for an egomaniacal sociopath
such as Ray. But clearly he is not giving up, which is why I will
continue to post warnings about him as long as he remains in the
selfish-help/McSpirituality/motivational biz.
