If you’re visiting here today and not a part of the 30-Day Blog Challenge, welcome. This post is in honor of the friends I made during the challenge. It ends this weekend and it’s been a really great ride! If you’ve never done a challenge, I encourage you to join one. It does a body good! (Go to Twitter and search #blog30.)
I’ve made new friends, found a lot of people with common interests, beautiful hearts, fabulous personalities, terrific writing… it’s hard to put into words what these past weeks have meant to me. It’s definitely been a blessing.
It’s also been difficult to keep up! Between work, family, home, tweeting, blogging, and reading and commenting on as many blogs as I could each day, it’s been quite an experience.
I just want to mention some of the people that I feel I’ve made a quality connection with in the last 30 days. There are 83 on my Blog 30 Challenge List on Twitter (only the people that used the #blog30 on Twitter). Unfortunately I simply haven’t been able to get to know them all. I wanted to! I really did… and if you’re not in this list, please know I appreciate you… and I’m proud of you all and your accomplishments!
I just want to say a special word to each of the people that have come to mean so much to me…

Great job Deb. You are so talented and make us feel so special in every blog. thanks for doing such a great job with the pictures, the indenting etc…really eyecatching. I would never dare to try to dedicate anything to my friends after this! Wow, is all I can say.
Thanks for taking your valuable time to honor us. You have led us through these 30 days and I am so glad I met you.

Thank you, Terrie! I appreciate your kind words and I’m so glad to have met you, too. I have a secret to share with you (don’t tell anyone else – LOL). The indenting happened by accident! I did something, not sure what, and it just appeared that way. I liked it, so I left it that way. Thought it was pretty cool.
Deb – I’m really honoured, thank you.
You know I think you are so cool.
Thank you for teaching us all so much over the last month.
much love

How sweet of you to acknowledge each one of us. You always have something new and exciting to share with us and teach us.
And the indenting that you did on purpose looks really nice LOL
Thank you Deb, for everything!

Thank you… And you’re so welcome, Bobbye! I’m happy to be of service.
Hey Deb,
Thanks so much for your comments today on my blog. I’m not sure if I have the Comments Reply feature setup correctly, so I’ll reply here. First, I should thank you for sharing so freely with us with tips and tricks and your expertise. You are a brilliant woman, no doubt about it! I keep dreaming of a big mug of coffee by the fire during cold weather in the great Pacific Northwest. Did I tell you I moved here 20 years ago from Gig Harbor?
And to answer your question, yes, I blogged today. BUT, it wasn’t one of my “stories,” but instead just a few tips that Sue and I talked about on our free webinar that we do each Tuesday for BusinessTrainingTeam.com. I think I’m afraid to get out of the habit, now that it’s firmly established in my routine.
Like you, I’ve got a LOT of catching up to do, and I still want to visit all my new friends’ blogs and make comments and RT and be generally encouraging, because I know it means a lot to me. And, of course, I’m not making up the things I’m saying — all these folks are positively AWESOME, as you well know.
Can’t wait to see your new YouTube thingy.
Hugs,
Jeanne

Hi Jeanne,
Wow! That’s so cool that you used to live near here. Can’t say as I’ve been to S.C. but I did live in N.C. for a year. Loved it there but I was just a kid then. I’ve spent the most time in SoCal but have lived plenty of other places, for sure. Been here 6 years now and it’s the longest I ever stayed in one place. Of course, owning a home does that, I guess!
I’m glad we’re all going to try to keep visiting and commenting on each other’s blogs. It is encouraging, but I’m sure we won’t be able to do it as often. It’s just so great that many of us have connected and want to continue that.
Hugs to you too!
