187 posts in a year? Cripes, that’s a lot of work and words and I commend you for sticking with it…and for having something important enough to say.
Keep reading, writing and thinking critically, we need more of that in the blogosphere…

Happy Blog-Birthday! It would appear that we are very similar- I have the same number of drafts in my folder and your letter to Chelsea was one of my favourites to read. Keep up the great work Hope!
(I have never blogged in an afro wig however. I feel like I need to remedy this). ;)

You’re one of the most real bloggers that I have found in a REALLY long time so you bet I’ll be sticking around. Happy 1 year Hope! I hope that you and your blog will be very happy for many more years to come!
Oh and I totally think of blog posts while driving my car. Sometimes I’ll even jot down a few notes at a red just so I don’t forget.

I was totally wondering how you knew all these numbers. And then I got to 28,378 and figured it out.
Happy blogiversary! Also, I think we need to standardize the spelling of that word.
