Yesterday I Reached 1 Million Points.... 1 Million Smackeroos!

By
Home Stager


Yesterday I reached 1 Million points.... 1,000,000 smackeroos!  
What makes it so memorable is not millionaire 
so much the “MM” beneath my name  but the journey to get here.

For those of you who’ve spent any time here at all you’re no doubt shaking your heads with a knowing look.  You know exactly what I mean.  

 My journey has taken me from clueless to communicative via my blog that I write.   

It has taken me to places like Kirkland Hills, OH to Vernonia OR..... from the beautiful Kentlands Community in Gaithersburg MD to NW Austin, TX.  

The journey has covered births of grandchildren to untimely passing of spouses.  Members’ illnesses to  the tough times some members are facing.

 And yet, were I never to reach One Million Points I would still be a Millionaire here.  

 I could never thank everyone who has walked the journey with me but I do have to thank my BARFF, Roger Mucci for starting the “Countdown” as well as  Charita Cadenhead and Kevin Tolbert who must hold the record for reblogging 1 person 5 times in one day!  

 

 

If you’re still wondering why you’re here or why anyone of us still are take a stroll through the many avenues of ActiveRain.  Then join us on our Journey!!!

 

Thank You ActiveRain and to my many friends here.

Congratulations, Kathy. So well deserved, and we have learned so much from reading your posts. I know I don't have to say this, but keep up the good work. The next 1 million will be even easier.

Kevin- thank you very much for your kind words.  They mean quite a lot.

 

Mike- best of luck to you!  My husband’s family has a farm in Iowa and his daughter lives in Omaha!  

 

Kevin- it was an amazing thing you did!

 

Bob- many thanks.  I’m not always able to respond immediately but I do get around to it!  

 

James- not going to my head and you will be here when I hit that level!!!

 

Brad- thank you and thank you so much for coming to my blog.

 

Margaret-I’m looking forward to it as well.

 

Joan- thank you.  It really is a wonderful place to hang out and learn.

 

Captain Wayne- many thanks!  And thank you for your support.

 

Mimi- hi pretty lady.  You’re so funny!!!  Well 101 is just perfect.

 

Sondra- ugh... that’s an awful lot of contests, challenges, commenting, etc.   And well worth it!

 

Ron- Thank you.  Hope you’re enjoying your journey here.

 

John- it’s one of my favorite places!!!

 

Annett- I remember you!!!  But you’re right, totally different hair color.

 

Janine- I was very slow to get started and I thought posting twice a month was good.  I know differently now.

 

Joy- thank you!!  It was so good seeing you again at the Broward MeetUp.

 

Gary- I thank you and glad you were part of the journey.

 

Terry-I know exactly what you mean.  But let me tell you... forget about the points and just take advantage of what’s here.  If you do, you’ll be at the 500k mark before you know it.

 

Lyn- thank you very much.

 

Bob- thank you!  Glad to see your here

 

Rob- I do not advertise and my calls come from my Internet presence, which is thanks to ActiveRain.

 

Paul- trust me... you will hit the 500K mark in no time.  Just forget about the points.

 

Kerrie- thank you for all you do here as well.

 

Bob- I am so happy that you came to the Meet Ups!  Glad to meet you.

 

Marte- I enjoy yours as well.  I love your grammar posts!!!

 

Kristin- I loved this... thank you!!

 

Jerry- you,sir, are what I consider an asset here!  

 

Bryan- thank you.  Writing does not come easy for me so every post I write is work.

 

Wayne and Jean- I’m going to be cheering everyone on to reach the next level.

 

Michael- what I love is that Bob, Kerrie and the rest of the staff give us the tools to get the leads and generate business.

 

Bill- that’s good!!!  Busy means work!  I’ve gone through 1 keyboard and just had to replace my hard drive.

 

Melanie- Look at the Leaderboard.  We have 3 approaching 2 million!!

 

Gina- come on … you can do it!

 

Sharon- you will.  More importantly, while you may not post every day, each one you do post is well thought out and informative.  And you know how I feel about Wednesdays.

 

Paddy- if you want to get more points email me.   I’ll show you what to do!

 

Jeff- says the man who has 1.5+ million points!!!

 

Kasey- look at it this way, we all started there.

 

Gayle- I love traveling to Fishhawk lake through your photos and blog!

 

Sharon- Many thanks to you!!

1,000,000 ActiveRain points is an accomplishment.  Welcome to the club.  Those points are priceless and worthless at the same time.  (That sounded mean and it was not meant to.)  Just you cannot buy anything with them, but the represent a tremendous accomplishment.  It is really what you did to get them that is priceless.
