The <A HREF="http://frozenpeafund.com/" REL="nofollow">Frozen Pea Fund</A> for breast cancer fundraising has been a grassroots Twitter success. I want to share some big news from the Blogger Social event. <BR/><BR/>conniereece: @susanreynolds I cried cuz you weren't here when we received check for $30,000 from ooVoo. But we got pictures!<BR/><BR/>susanreynolds: @conniereece kerry & I cried too when we saw the tweet . What a wonderful number!!! that can help us do so much for research & awareness<BR/>ooVoo has been so great to work with, as have @scottmonty & crayon but did not xpect this size check!<BR/>We loved working w/ ooVoo on ooVoo day & we didn't seek them out so I get no credit. Crayon & ooVoo are setting a gr8 xample<BR/>We are so blessed to know such inovative ppl who thought to pair community & sharing/giving <BR/><BR/>@BeckyMcCray I think You'll have to write the brag, It's really a story about the foresight of ooVoo to use promo $ to help others<BR/><BR/>Congratulations to everyone who has helped with or donated to the Frozen Pea Fund!Becky McCrayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05752231568940350610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20995189.post-87902545412840929252008-04-05T21:12:43.871-05:002008-04-05T21:12:43.871-05:00Connie, welcome! To borrow a line from Liz Strauss, you're only a stranger once! Some of us know each other, but I met new folks this week, too.

I'm thrilled to know other people who understand the importance of being proud of what you do and the good things that hard work brings.<BR/><BR/>I never understood why people are embarrassed or, possibly, ashamed when good things happen to them. From getting a new camera (congrats Becky) to having your business hit its stride (congrats Pistachio).<BR/><BR/>It's ok to have success, it's ok to have great things happen in your life and it is ok to talk about those things. Embrace the good things that happen and the work that it took to get the good things to happen. Then, focus on more good things, and make them happen. The vision is only achieved through the action.<BR/><BR/>Keep up the great work, Becky.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Tony KatzTony Katzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10164259288904038842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20995189.post-26514410810050316302008-04-05T07:23:13.970-05:002008-04-05T07:23:13.970-05:00I love this, what a great idea and I have to say I want to brag about you offering this space for people to celebrate their wins! <BR/><BR/>Well done looking forward to sharing and reading more in the future.Matthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13102011767812762471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20995189.post-38789620737685395202008-04-05T07:22:08.613-05:002008-04-05T07:22:08.613-05:00Hurray, Melissa!
