Gregory, I was "off" today with my daughter home from school and checked my email and there in my google alerts was your mention.  You blew me away and you have 100% filled my bucket for the day.  Actually everytime we communicate you fill my bucket.  I truly appreciate your mention and I hope that I will have your words ring true - that I will bring value, expertise, and something worth reading and talking about.  I hope we get to chat soon - it's been a busy time for me right now with work and lots of no school days but hope we can catch up.  GBU my friend. ~ Anne Marie

Thanks Gregory, I sure appreciate the kudos and the link love. This would be a great invitation to send out to others wanting to know more about AR, both newbies and non-members.  Bookmarked, thanks!  :-)

Elizabeth - Forgive my English...but...Ain't it great!  Love this place.  I have learned so much here.  Funny thing though...I know I have so much more to learn.  There's got to be some way to add another 24 hours to a day...LoL!

Hi Mirela! - I just had to feature you in my article, I just love to read your blogs, and the one you wrote about how AR has helped you was awesome.  When I started to write this, I had to go looking for that blog as it really stuck out in my mind when you wrote it.  BTW...thanks for featuring this!  I'll take any kind of feature I can get!

Hi Anne Marie! - I can't help but admire someone with marketing talent.  The best product or service in the world is worthless until it is marketed and sold.  I don't get to your blogs as often as I want to, but I do enjoy my visits when I make it there.

I've recently switched companies (which I will blog about...probably Monday) and it's been really hectic getting things moving in new directions, and trying to set up a couple of new groups here, and then today we had to take our 5 yr. old out of school, which is a long story. 

I've done some serious research on health issues as many of you know, and vaccinations have become a real issue with me.  I can't believe the lies that have been put out there and the damage that is being done to our children, and very few people have any idea what is going on...well, I refused to vaccinate our daughter once I learned these nasty things, and the chicken pox just hit her school, and they won't let us bring her, even though she is no danger to anyone as she is the only one not vaccinated.  This is just the medical industries attempt to force us to give her shots.  But I'm not doing it.  Looks like I will home-schooling until they let her back in.  This will surely kill some working time.

Ok...I got that off my chest...LoL!  I'm glad I was able to fill you bucket.  That means I made you smile, and I always like it when I can make someone smile.  That makes my day too!  And yes, we have to chat soon.  Looks like we've both been busy!  Read Phil 4:4-9! 

Ooooops...started another novel...there I go again.

Hi Brad! - I just had to include you in this blog.  Look at how much info you share with everyone!  You are the man, what more needs to be said other than giving you credit where and when it is due.  I do believe that people who contribute to the better good of all should be mentioned and recognized from time to time.  Thanks for all you do Brad!  I learn a lot from your blogs!!!

And to know that you bookmarked a blog of mine...wow, I'm honored!  That's as good as being featured, but without the points.

Sonja - You're welcome!  AR is such a great place.  Like you, I get a lot of wonderful information here, ...and the people are not only professional, but also geniunely awesome people.  If I were to leave this industry for any reason, I would still have to keep visiting and reading blogs and commenting on a regular basis.  I've played on discussion boards for many years, and the argumentative attitude found on those boards is just so tiring.  This place is like a breath of fresh air...you know, kind of like it is just after it rains!
