Lordy, Lordy, Look Who's 40! NOT ME! I'm 400!

Lordy, Lordy... Look Who’s Forty!

Not me! I’m 400!!

Woo Hoo! Today I celebrate the 400,000 point milestone and I can’t begin to tell you how exciting this is for me.

Me! The girl who was so scared to blog that she deleted her first post after a day or two. REALLY?! How GOOFY is that?!

That same girl has since posted over 926 posts. Call me a logger (A localism blogger)... call me a PhotoPoster... call me what you will...

I call me “ActiveRain” (thank you Kerrie) ♥

I am not a writer. You don’t have to be. I post tons of Localism posts and am known all over the community as the girl who helps spread the word about community events, fundraisers, etc. I am welcomed as if I am the media!

Personally, I think it is so sweet and it just makes me want to post more.

I get phone calls all the time ranging from people wanting to know how to get a vendor booth at the local Trinity County Fair -- to folks that want to list their property with me because when they googled their subdivision name, my face popped up everywhere.

So as I do the “Dance of Joy” today over my 400,000 mark, I want to say THANK YOU to the many people who have helped me along....

♥ Those who stopped by to leave an encouraging word...

♥ The ones who emailed me to let me know of a blooper (instead of leaving a comment for the whole world to see! LOL - Thanks again for that!!)

♥ Those of you who have sent cards...

♥ The telephone calls... especially the one who called to pray with me (thank you!!)...

♥ Thank you for subscribing....
♥ Thank you for commenting...

♥ Thanks for all of the LOVE!!

MUAH!

Just a FEW of the faces that have helped me along the way...

Lordy, Lordy... Look Who’s Forty!

Not me! I’m 400!!

Congratulations on your achievement. In my short time here I have learned these milestones are not reached without commitment and dedication. I especially like how you expressed your gratitude to those that have helped you along the way.
