Special Thanks to Don Rogers for Kick Starting My ActiveRain Participation!

Today, I received the following comment from Jen Bowman:

"Letitia, I'm looking forward to RainCamp coming to Atlanta. It's good to know that it was a great experience for you. I also wanted to thank you so much for stopping by, commenting and encouraging a couple of new member posts. (They are agents in my office that I invited to join AR.)"

My Reply:

"... Thank you for stopping by! When I first joined ActiveRain, I basically did nothing with it for two months - what a waste.  Then I received a comment "Message of Encouragement" from Don Rogers which really kicked off my participation... it really made all the difference.  So now, I try to pay it forward by encouraging others to join and new members to participate - and get involved.

Should you attend RainCamp, please do tell "post." I would love to read all about Your Experience."

Background:

I joined ActiveRain in May ‘2009 and wrote my first post promoting a FTHB seminar. Then, I vanished for about 2 months. On July 16th, I received an email from Don Rogers - my first and only comment on ActiveRain. Don not only welcomed me to ActiveRain, but also, featured me - along with other new ActiveRainers - in his July 18th "... Are you on the quest to find the pot of gold..." post.  Four days from initial contact (July 20th), I started actively posting and never looked back...well, maybe once to gather the links for this post.

Thank You Don!

Thank you Don for your warm welcome and for kick starting my participation here on ActiveRain! Thanks to you - and many others here, I have discovered the many wonders of ActiveRain. I have also experienced my first RainCamp Event - RainCamp NYC!

This is worth repeating, "Don, Thank you!  What a great service to newcomers and veterans alike - enriching the ActiveRain community through A greater level of participation.  Great Work! Also, thanks for featuring me in this blog! Quite generous of you." - Letitia A. Stevenson

Also, a shot out to Ann Allen. Thank you for commenting on my first post. Thanks for your heartfelt welcome and encouragement! 

Don, Thanks Again! OBW, I'm quickly approaching the 100K Mark - in part due to your encouragement!

All the Best and Much Success in 2010! Letitia

Letitia,

I hope that you are proud of yourself............I am totally humbled by this post and have tears in my eyes trying to see my keyboard to write this comment.  You have beat me to a lot of newbies as I have traveled around the country. 

I am sooooooo glad to hear that you are closing in on 100k points and also proud of you for accepting my challenge to go out and be an encouragement to others.  You are the best.

Thank you again for the mention and being an encouragement to me.
