Thanks also to everyone who took the time to comment on my posts and give feedback. This is a dynamic group and I'm excited to see what everyone does next!

First I want to give my self a big pat on the back for completing all of the assignments (video piece is a work in progress but it will be up soon). The biggest thing that I learned from this challenge is that I CAN DO THIS. I can write a blog and be a creative person and there is actually an audience out there who enjoys reading what I write. Second biggest thing was to think of myself as a brand. I'm selling myself and its working. Last but not least I really enjoyed the community of participants and there are quite a few here that I will keep up with. Thanks much for this awesome challenge.
