ILLUMINATION is 2 months old now; enriched by 700+ writers

The only way that we can live, is if we grow. The only way that we can grow is if we change. The only way that we can change is if we learn. The only way we can learn is if we are exposed. And the only way that we can become exposed is if we throw ourselves out into the open. Do it. Throw yourself.― C. JoyBell C.
We are celebrating our publication’s 2nd month today.
ILLUMINATION is now followed by 8075 Medium users.
The last two months have been busy and successful for our publication. We grow rapidly. One of our writers, Arthur G. Hernandez conducted a quick analysis earlier today and we found that we are growing 47.3% as number one among the fastest growing 15 publications on Medium.

What did ILLUMINATION writers create today?
Our writers created many eclectic stories today. We try a new technique to engage our writers in the curation process. Based on good feedback from writers and readers in the last four days, I used the same approach today.
The more comments you add introducing your key points, the more visible our distribution list can get. Please remember adding tags to your comments. Tags help the readers to find the right content. Attached is a list of stories we created on ILLUMINATION today.
