WOW, what a beautiful way to start my morning! After my usual routine of spending some time doing my mindfulness and exercises, I settled down with my morning coffee and opened up my Wealthy Affiliates dashboard.

I was presently surprised and to be honest, I'm still a little bit in shock - to be greeted by a 'pop-up'.

Now this wasn't just any old pop-up - it was a pop-up 'Congratulating' me on making it into the TOP 200 rankings. Along with the notification my little badge on my profile is now lit up.

I wasn't sure how to go about sharing my great news with all of you as I feel quite humbled about the honor. I truly believe Wealthy Affiliates is a community where we all help each other along the way in our journey of building out our business in our various niches.

I never really set out to be in the Top 200, but I must admit getting that notification this morning about a new badge did feel kind of cool and rewarding. I have been working endless hours building my website. I love taking breaks and popping in here to support and share with all of you!

When I first started here at WA, I wanted to find a niche where I could help people. I did a lot of researching and was up very late nights following the training (still am, LOL. that part hasn't changed)

Often leaving me to feel very overwhelmed at times!. I was so appreciative of how welcoming everyone in the community was to me. You were all very patient, supportive, answered my sometimes silly questions, and were there offering encouragement along the way.

Once I got me feet wet so to speak... I started spending more time here in the community. I still often do not feel confident on answering some of the more difficult questions but I love helping, supporting and hopefully pointing people in the right directions! I feel like I'm able to give back for all the support that was offered to me!

So, thank you for being who you are... an excellent supportive, welcoming, helpful group!

Thanks for taking the time to answer questions and for being patient and teaching the newbies ...

I'm proud to be a part of this group and am grateful that I found Wealthy Affiliates.

Here's wishing everyone a successful, profitable journey.
