These especially helpful friends earned a You Rock award

Every Thanksgiving, I think about the especially helpful people in my network and thank them for their generosity. I respect and value their knowledge, advice and comments. This year, I have seven outstanding people receiving this award. And - for the first time - my award goes to some international friends in my growing network.

John White is a columnist at Inc. Magazine. I met John about a year ago through his blog posts and featured articles on Pulse. He has an outstanding social media presence, and is a perfect fit for beBee’s very first Ambassador.

Hi Michele - thanks for your comment -- it's interesting / disappointing to see - at least in my area -- all shops skipping Thanksgiving - all places are promoting Christmas, several weeks before Halloween. I am not sure I like this trend. How can anyone forget Thanksgiving? (in the USA....) This award thing was inspired by a reunion I had with one of my very early elementary school teachers. She was so grateful when I thanked her for her inspiration and impact her "science time" had in my life and career. I made her cry (in a good way...) Too often, teachers never hear what happened to their students - I thought it was good to let her know these little lessons got through to me and changed my life so much.
