It's my turn to pass the 400,000 point mark and it is important with reaching this milestone that I acknowledge the people who made this journey possible. Well, that's mighty easy! It's the founders and staff, the peers and professional in the real estate industry, and the friends I've made along the way.
The Star Hall of Fame groups were created by Neal Bloom-Realtor ® Assoc.-CRS-Weston for the sole purpose of telling our story of each milestone and journey's in the Rain to get to each of these Star Hall of Fame groups:
- Activerain Bronze Star Hall of Fame- In order to qualify you must reach at least 50,000 Activerain points.
- Activerain Silver Star Hall of Fame- In order to qualify you must reach at least 100,000 Activerain points.
- Activerain Gold Star Hall of Fame- In order to qualify you must reach at least 200,000 Activerain points.
- Activerain Platinum Star Hall of Fame- In order to qualify you must reach at least 300,000 Activerain points
I've surpassed all....and now I am going into the The Activerain Dem Dare a lot of points Hall of Fame group for the bunch who have surpassed the 400,000 point mark.
Points don't mean anything if you have achieved them without gaining readership, clients or made friends with your peers along the way.
Yes, we ALL love points and if you say you don't you're lying lol! With this statement I'll tell you this. The reason I am so tickled when I surpass a milestone is because I know I excelled from day one. I have proven without a doubt that it takes HARD WORK and effort, consistency and determination to be all I can be with my online presence for the Real Estate Industry.
It takes writing from the soul with conviction, passion, wit, humor, emotion, integrity, honesty and being respect to self and others at all times.
Until this year my online presence only brought me prospects, potentials and many friends. This year ActiveRain and my website (and with the help of ActiveRain is the reason my website was successful) brought me closed transactions. I now have triple the friends too!
This IS ....the most bizarre way of networking and communicating that I have ever experienced and no matter how many social media networks there are out there, ActiveRain IS my Blogging Network of Choice.
Now, I am passing the candle to you folks....for a brighter blogging future and a prosperous 2009!
Takes a lot of commenting and writing good content for readers!

Sally, Congrats!! That's a lot of points. I know you started a few months after me and I'm just shy of 300,000. I'm with you about the rain. I've joined all those other social networks but they just are not as much fun as the rain. I feel lonely in the other networks and I never feel lonely in the rain.
Marchel: Now that is a fact. It IS lonely out there isn't it? Thanks for adding that to the conversation...that does make a difference doesn't it?
Woo Hoo Sally my love. Congrats to you and your great achievement.
I am so proud to have shared your company and hopefully get to see you again soon :)
Happy Holidays!!! Say hello to Gary for me... Al sends his love
C-Sally-C very, very cool... Kudos and congrats! (BTW, thanks for the tweet.) ;-)
Wow Sally! That is awesome! You have been busy and I am way impressed! KM
Hi Dez! Long time no see here??? I have run into you out there though :) I will look forward to seeing you again as well Dez. Gary says hi to you too and a hi to Al from the both of us!
CTS: I'm all confused wtth peeps and tweets and pokes lol! Thanks Carolyn!
Kristin: Takes some hard work ...yup!
Sally - Congratulations on your advancement to the next plateau. Your point accumulation is quite impressive. I've just passed 40,000 points, so I'm still aiming at the bronze.
Marilyn: Oh..you'll get there soon! Thanks!
Everyone: IN case anyone was wondering...the points didn't tally when I posted...some glitch or something...anyway, it should read a 400,133...that's just in case anyone is wondering :)
Sally congratulations on this accomplishment. Just look forward to the 500K mark and beyond.
Erin...there is such a thing.....lol!
Sally.....congratulations on a job well done! Your information is always inspirational. Happy Holidays.
Thanks Pam! I do try :)
Congratulations, that is an awesome achievement.
Happy Holidays to you and yours.
Sally,
Congrats on reaching yet another milestone on our beloved Active Rain network...That is a heap of points!!! Thanks, Fran
Congratulations! 400,000 points, a whole lot of friends, readers, referrals and loads of respect! Woo Hoo!
Mykel: Sure was hard work! You can do it! ;)
Fran: Thanks Fran....it sure is.
Leolinda: A heap of all! WooHoo!
Sally- Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!! WooHoo! And you earned all those points with honor and intergrity! I love being your friend, you are the reason I joined Active Rain and look how far we have come!
Hi Sally,
Congratulations, you deserve all those points! Its amazing how much you can write my friend! :)
My -- that certainly is a lotta points! As always when I read on AR I learn something new. I had no idea there were stars for achieving certain levels of points. Congratulations. It really does mean lots of time and thought. I have been busy lately -- adjusting to a new situation and also with clients -- and have been thinking about different posts -- and missing the writing part. Gotta get back into it!
You set the standard for all of us...points, position & prosperity all well deserved ~ congratulations!
Congratulations! Woooo HOOOOO! An amazing feat and you are no worse off for the pursuit. In fact, life is pretty good for you, business has increased, Gary and Shadow haven't had to live on TV dinners and all is well. That makes the accomplishment so worth the effort and now you are The Grand ActiveRain Princess of Hawaii.
Congrats Sally. I am hoping to get the poits AND the closed transactions one day also.
Sally.... 400 pts? Chump change.... a sneeze in the bucket... lol Seriusly, that is a huge accomplishment and you should be proud. For some, they have gained the system and the points. For you, it's been quality, friendship, and just giving of yourself.... congrats..
Sally, CONGRATULATIONS! That is an amazing achievement to get to 400,000 points and I'm willing to bet it will inspire a lot of people just beginning to keep going. Every single point was well earned, your posts are consistantly wonderful!
I blew right past my 200,000 and didn't notice =/ Now I'm closing in on 300,000 pretty fast. Let's hope I notice this time. LOL
But YAY for you! Congratulations. I know how many hours it takes for you to write this many quality blogs!
Sally, you would be amazing without all those points but all I can say is "WOWSER" and congratulations my friend! I can only aspire to get to that point. Incredible!
Holiday Hugs, Deb
Sally I am really impressed. And, here I thought I was doing good at a 1/4 of that. Well done and great posts.
Sally,
Congrats...I'm not going to create another group. I think this last one was enough. You might be at 1,000,000 soon if you keep blogging and there won't be an ending in sight.
Sally, congratulations on achieving 400,000 points and especially on all the lessons, friends, and business you have gained along the journey.
Congratulations Sally!!!
Now Neal can let you know, thanks as when I posted on the Hall of Fames he got so many emails. tee hee. Most people here (new and newer) aren't aware of them. Onward and upward.
Sally...
Congratulations on this impressive milestone. I'm going to try to feature this in the group "Whacked!!!, but we'll have to see what happens!

Jeff: Okay....so it's chump change now? lol! I really appreciate that Jeff......We work hard on content while others add a couple of sentences and a picture and climb that ladder. That's okay though...they drop off when they don't see anything roll in.
Sally that IS VERY IMPRESSIVE, especially since I only have about 12,500. Congratulations.
Carole: I appreciate that! And my list was so long for acknowledgements that I could only be brief...just know you are one on that list!
Lisa: Congratulations to you...and me :)

Sally--You have 400K points and you are only ranked #2...That is what I find interesting! Amazing score for an amazing blogger! Congrats...youve earned each and every one of Dem Dare Points!
I did not know about the 100,000 level! I am almost there! That is soooo cool!
Now for the amount of points you have, I don't know if I will live that long!
Sally CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sally - Congratulations on your achievement, and thanks for all the nuggets you have shared along the way.
Sally, that's a whole bunch of points! I may join you later!
Sally my good friend. WooHoo on crossing another milestone.
Sally, I just notice Pat Kennedy is about to do the same thing. I will be dead and gone before I get there. Not enough talent!! Congrats, you are amazing.
Hi Sally, Congratulations! I can see why you have done so well just by reading all the comments! And so nice of you to reply to everyone! It's people like you that make AR a great place to be!
I have no idea...I can barely monitor it the way it is...I'm afraid to go look at the other groups because I'm always deleting people who didn't really make it:)
Congrats girl...and I have enjoyed every post that you have ever written! I think its going to take a couple of years to catch up to you...
Congratulations Sally...quite an chievement
You go girl ... Congrats!
Hi Sally,
Please don't forget the newbies like me who have 1500 points. I feel I am not even worthy to comment on your blog.lol I must tell you I am envious for obvious reasons. First you work in Hawaii? Second you really get the Internet presence. Do you have any suggestions on how a new person should spend their energy?
Congrats and keep on bloggin!
