A Year As a BananaTude Moderator

It was about a year ago that my good friend Anna Banana Kruchten reached out to me and asked me if I would like to be a BananaTude moderator.

Every Tuesday, I go through the post in the BananaTude Group and feature up to 5 post for the day that display the right BananaTude!

Listings and market reports are not welcome in this group.

Post that convey a positive attitude are very welcome.

I am always pleasantly surprised at the stories that people share with us.

The ActiveRain community is filled with good hearted folks who have an exceptional attitude.

I am very thankful to Anna Banana Kruchten for including me as a moderator in her outstanding group.

And remember, if you post something that tickles my fancy in the group on Tuesdays, you may just get the BIG BANANA!

Always one of my favorites. And while I can't say that I also don't post "how the hell did this happen" kind of posts there sometimes... I am a person who finds a solution prior to giving up on a problem. So I guess my "always up for any challenge" attitude is "positive"
