I wish to take a moment to not only wish you all of my best in the coming year, but to thank you, you that has taken a moment to click onto my blog and are reading these words.
On June 1, 2014 I started Fearsome Beard to part and be a part of the blogging community that I was regularly reading. The encouragement, love and support I received was amazing. I was hooked and stumbled my way into this world. I’ve never been a writer, but found I enjoyed expressing myself.
Without you stopping by I probably would have given it up, but you kept coming back. All of you kept coming back and more and more started coming by. I’m humbled.
In 2022 Fearsome Beard had 207,721 views from 45,791 visitors. These numbers are records for this 8 year old blog. These numbers humble me and I thank you, all of you.
I also wish to thank my referring fellow bloggers. Bosguy sent me 12,496 viewers, Ishouldbelaughing sent me 3,823 viewers, Riding on sent me 1,700 viewers and Raybeard sent me 565 viewers. Many others of you sent me many viewers as well and I can’t thank all of you enough. All of you are very dear to me.
Gratitude is always a place that gets me in good spirits and friendship, even if it’s over the internet, is something I cherish. I dedicate this tune to you my readers and fellow bloggers for you are my friends, and for you I am grateful!

Happy New Year 2023! May your year ahead be full of peace, love, friendship, good health and fulfillment.
Fearsome Beard 
Thank you for blogging for us last year. You are a dear.
Thank you for being here!
A generous and fulsome post you’ve provided above, F.B. (and thanks for the ‘shout’ for my own blog!) Wishing you and your close kin and circle of friends, no matter how many legs each has, every happiness in the coming year with, above all, fine health throughout, though not forgetting (more than) a little prosperity, plus, for good measure, some enlightenment too.
Btw: I’ve just posted a response to your very recent comment on my own blog, addressing the problem of your making contributions there, though I’m afraid that that remains unsolved for me too. I’ll keep pondering over it.
See ya!
I appreciate you!
And you very much too, FB.
The beards are great, I do look forward to all of them. The music, too. Thanks for being the voice of a face too many shy away from. Happy New Year!
Thank you, I adore the beards!
Happy New Year to you as well and thanks for blogging. I enjoy visiting and seeing your posts beard-related and otherwise.
Wishing you all the best in 2023.
Cheers!
Happy New Year to you and yours! I stop by daily, though I seldom comment. Write more, you are good at it, and we enjoy hearing about your life.
Happy new year! Always love seeing your comments.
THANK YOU! FB and Shawn. I love the beards, music and the stories you post. You have an amazing talent that brings tears, laugher, strength and healing. It seems to be a thread that has run though your blog all these years and has given me so much.
All the best for the New Year. Hugs, Ed
Big hug!
This is lovely!
I too thank you for being there and posting the blog – and not just for the fur. That’s nice but I love hearing from you.
As our beloved AM would say…
Smooches!
