   jansharesposted 8 years ago

   Yeay! I made it. Today is my one year anniversary on HubPages. All I can say is it's been real, nothing I could have imagined, coming in here totally green. I have learned sooooo much and thoroughly enjoyed the learning experience despite the ups and downs. Very stressful at times but worth all that I've gained. Thanks to all who helped me along the way. Let's celebrate and keep on hubbin'
