The Make It Great! 125 (for now)

On this Thanksgiving Eve, I wanted to send a quick note of thanks out to 125 of the great people in my orbit that have blogs. If I have forgotten your site and you make my world great, please accept my deepest apology and send me an e-mail and I will add you to the list ASAP.

Some of the folks I list above I've met in person, some only virtually, but all are wonderful people that my world is a better place because of.

It's my hope that by sharing this list with you, that you will find someone new to connect with. I challenge you to look through this list and see if there's at least 2 new people you can add to your daily/weekly/monthly reads that can make your life better.

Take 10 minutes, give it a few clicks, and enjoy the extended weekend, at least for some. I'll be back to things on Friday, but I will enjoy the big day with my family.

If you are reading this note, and you are EVER in Milwaukee, please contact me and let's get together to share a cup of coffee, some conversation, and let's get to know each other more.
