Is what they say! Who are they? I don't know but I have to believe them I guess. I do know one thing. Our Active Rain 30 Day Localism Challenge has been phenomenal for me. If you have been participating in this challenge then you understand what I am talking about when I say "creating a habit". This wonderful challenge was hosted by Deborah Byron Leffler and has truly opened my eyes to the benefits of Localism.
In the past I have not been totally focused on Localism posts. I would do a few each month for the Search Engines and to keep my placement in google but it was just to place the keywords. Many of you are probably doing this. After having to discover new and interesting things about my area, day in and day out, I have learned more than I imagined I could! This challenge has actually taught me much about my own area that I didn't know! I have caught up on just about everything LOCAL. And, isn't that what it's all about? Becoming the Local Expert is what we all want.
We only have two days to go and I want to thank Deborah for nudging us to do this challenge. It isn't just for the points...believe me. This was work but it was great work. It was educational, enlightening, heart warming at times and has given me a new outlook on not only Active Rain and its power but on my on community as well. So, thank you Deborah for setting this in motion. It is a habit I am going to try and follow through with from here on out!
