Celebrating Two Years of Illumination: Curated Insights and Stories
Written on
Dear Readers and Writers,
After reflecting on curated collection #33 from ILLUMINATION, I have selected a range of captivating stories that I believe will resonate with you. This allows you to easily access and follow your favorite authors.
We trust that these diverse narratives covering various subjects will engage you. I draw inspiration from the incredible contributions of over 15,500 writers associated with Illumination on Medium.
Yesterday marked a special occasion as we celebrated the second anniversary of ILLUMINATION. Thanks to your support, our cherished publication continues to thrive and expand rapidly, boasting a remarkable presence!
At the conclusion of this collection, you'll find additional birthday-themed stories. Our YouTube Coordinator, Aiden, has put together a video that I thoroughly enjoyed, supporting YouTubers through his platform, Illumination on Youtube, where you can also participate as a writer.
I've also included links to my previous collections at the end of this post. I encourage you to explore them, as I believe you'll be pleasantly surprised by the wealth of interesting stories they contain. This post highlights selections from the earlier collection curated by ILLUMINATION.
