Real AR Connections: That’s Enough for Me!

 

Taking part in countless AR challenges over the years, I've come to really value many members who celebrate sincere connections in meaningful ways. But I've also realized how special it is when shout-outs and favorites come from genuine appreciation, rather than obligation.

ActiveRain's community boasts 300,000+ members, where so many incredible people contribute every day. I see and appreciate everyone who's poured time, creativity and heart into this platform for years (some even a decade or more). Your dedication makes this community!

 

Challenges remind me how much stronger we are when lifting each other up without keeping score. It's like a gathering of friends, where members bring something unique to the table, sharing moments and offering mutual support in a professional setting. Everything's right with that!

 


I've seen wonderful examples this month of people sharing shout-outs to those who stand out because they come from the heart. They inspire more connection, which is what ActiveRain thrives on. I've always shown up without expecting anything in return, that has always felt proper for me.

 

I enjoy being the person who cheers everyone else on whenever possible and believes in "all for one and one for all." That mindset brings me peace of mind and am grateful for it. If anyone ever needs a genuine referral, collaboration idea or just a listening ear, I'm here.

You're all appreciated more than my words can describe. Let's all keep building this amazing space together, there's room for everyone, even the serial, copy/pasters that all we've come to know. They show up daily too, like you!

 

This is the 4th and last entry for the series:

Thanks again for hosting February's challenge, Patricia Feager and Lew Corcoran, you are most appreciated!

Yes, I can relate to what you mean, Liz and Bill Spear. Sometimes, people come into our lives for a reason, a season or for life and weeding out those who no longer serve a positive part of our days tend to fall off by their own doing or with a little help!

Am happy to be a part of this platform for 18+ years now, Patricia Feager. ActiveRain still provides an almost daily regimen of learning, sharing and diverse subjects like no other platform, except without a lot of the drama that others accept and allow!

Thanks again to you and Lew for hosting this month's challenge.

Wanda- I love your post. You are right...it's about the connections we've made and the ones we continue to make.  What other social media site gives us the opportunity to say "my friend ____" and mean it, even though we've never met them!?   And yet, we've made friendships here through our connections.
