Your Reminder to Share, Reflect, and Link Your Posts

 

Summary

 

A reminder that the December ActiveRain Challenge ends on December 31st at midnight PST. Participants must comment on the original post with links to their entries to receive points.

 

Introduction

 

The month is winding down, and the December ActiveRain Challenge (at https://activerain.com/droplet/JGPk) is almost at its finish line. As the deadline approaches, it’s the perfect moment to pause, reflect, and make sure your entries are complete and properly linked. Every story you’ve shared this month has added something meaningful to the community, and there’s still time to add your voice if you haven’t yet.

 

The Deadline Approaches

 

As the final hours draw nigh, the challenge officially closes on December 31st at midnight The Great Northwest Time (PST). That gives everyone a little more time to polish their reflections and share their personal growth moments. Each entry helps strengthen the spirit of the challenge, and your insights may inspire someone who needs it.

 

How to Ensure You Receive Your Points

 

To receive your well earned points, you must comment on the original challenge announcement and include the link to each of your entries. This step is essential because it allows the team to verify your posts and award your points accurately. Without those links, your work may go unseen during the tally.

 

Why Your Stories Still Matter

 

Even as the month ends, your stories continue to make an impact. They help others see themselves more clearly. They spark ideas. They remind us that growth often comes from the smallest moments. Sharing your journey encourages others to share theirs, and that ripple effect strengthens the entire community.

 

Conclusion

 

The finish line is close, but there’s still time to participate with intention and clarity. Your reflections matter, and your voice adds depth to this month’s theme. Make sure your entries are posted at https://activerain.com/droplet/JGPk, linked, and ready before the clock strikes midnight on December 31st.

 

Please take a moment today to review your posts, and add your links to the original challenge announcement. Share your insights while there’s still time. Your contribution helps make this challenge meaningful for everyone.

Good morning, Lew... an excellent reminder for those who have submitted their entries to the December challenge. Would hate for people to miss out on their points after doing all that work.

Thanks so much for saying that, Nina Hollander, Broker. I was thinking the same thing and figured a little nudge might save someone from losing out after putting their heart into those posts 🙂. Really appreciate you taking a moment to chime in.

Hello Lew, I wrote my forth blog for it but for some reason it was not posted, I may have to try to rewrite it.

Thanks so much for sticking with it and giving the challenge your all, Will Hamm. Tech hiccups can be so frustrating, though I really appreciate the effort you put into that fourth post. I’m cheering you on as you take another swing at it 🙂

 Lew Corcoran   The last post for me seems to have been more of a Duh moment than a Aha Moment, but I almost have it done.

Lew Corcoran

Thanks for sticking with it and sharing that little twist in the process, Ed Silva, 203-206-0754. Those Duh moments sneak up on all of us, and they usually end up being the ones that teach us something anyway. Can’t wait to see your final entry 🙂

Lew Corcoran looks like the dropping of the ball in Time Square will be serving multiple purposes this year.  ☺️

Thanks so much for that little spark of humor, George Souto. It really does feel like the ball drop is carrying a bit of extra meaning this time around, and your comment made me smile ☺️. Appreciate you being part of the fun as we wrap up the challenge.

Thanks so much for the kind wish, Michael Jacobs. I’m hoping it gives a little nudge to anyone still on the fence, and your encouragement means a lot ☺️. Appreciate you taking a moment to stop by and share that.
