activerain challenge: October Challenge: The Single Success Story For Why I "Blog" On ActiveRain - 10/03/22 07:10 AM
Thank you, Carol Williams, for your invitation to co-host this October Challenge with you and Leanne Smith.  
My success story occurs right here on activerain. "I found my voice" through my storytelling posts. 
Because of you, my post readers, I want to send this "thank you" card to let you know I appreciate your unwavering support of my posts by reading, commenting, sharing, and re-blogging.
October 4, 2022, marks my FIRST Anniversary with activerain. 
I intend to continue to write and provide original and thoughtful content in exchange for the friendship and inspiration abound in this community I have come to cherish. Thank you. -- Aura Alex
