The first people to attain this recognition are (drumroll please!):

Woo hoo! I wonder who will be the first to reach 100. 🙂
My graphic designer is working on new badges for all three levels of Professional Organizers Blog Carnival Star Bloggers and I hope to have those for you early in the new year.

Wow, Janet. That is wonderful. It’s such a great service you are giving other PO bloggers. I’m looking forward to the new year and the new set of themes. Happy New Year.
I have so much fun doing it, and I always learn something helpful too! Thank you so much for being a regular participant and supporter.
Thank you for the opportunity to contribute Janet! I’m honored to be a 2017 Star Blogger. Here’s to a joyfully productive 2018!
“Joyfully productive” sounds perfect to me, Debbie!
These are some impressive stats. But it’s not just about the stats, but the obvious love of and commitment to the #POBC that so many of us have. I always enjoy the amazing collections that you curate and love learning from my colleagues.
Thank you for the lovely blog sponsor acknowledgment. And how exciting that you’ve deemed me and my buddies Ellen and Audrey “Megastar Bloggers!” What an honor. My deepest gratitude to you, Janet, for all that you do to promote us and to give us opportunities to share.
It’s exciting, isn’t it? And I just figured out that if everyone who participated this year comes back next year, we only need 19 new people to reach 100!
I love seeing the power of community here too.
That’s wonderful! I’m sure you will get there and beyond.
Dear Janet:
It is always such a pleasure to read the inspiring collection of blogs each month. It’s like having a professional development class with dear friends. And it was fun to actually meet some of them in person at the NAPO 2017 conference. Thanks for the opportunity to contribute and for throwing out the challenge to keep up the commitment to such a worthwhile endeavor! Best wishes for a wonderful 2018.
We’re so lucky we connected through Elizabeth’s coaching group!
