Hi JoAnn Strommen,
My apologies for not getting the blog posted at the beginning of the month. I have struggled with migraines this month and had to take days off. My doctor says it is due to the barimetric pressure changes with all the hurricanes.
I am working on it today.
However, I will let the cat out of the bag on this thread on how to get the Collaborator Badge/Points for this month.....
First - have a profile photo or add one if you don't have a profile photo (you don't have to change your profile photo)
Second -.add or update something on your community profile. This could be adding your organization name, changing your profile picture to represent a professional or personal skill/hobby/interest or adding a sentence to your bio etc....Anything on the "edit your profile" counts as the 1 action.
The Collaboration goal is to help us easily connect with others that have similar interests in hopes of increasing your useful network of peeps.
All the best!
I am going in search of a new photo!!
Elizabeth

I feel your pain Elizabeth Perron. I also suffer from chronic migraines that are triggered by pressure changes. They are awful. Hope they ease up soon!3
-
Oh, I understand. I'm sure pressure is worse living with changes from hurricanes. I used to experience those pressure change migraines too whenever we had major weather changes here in the mid-west. No fun at all.2

Hello Fellow Monthly Collaborator Badgers or plan on becoming a Collaborator Badger!
You may or may not know that we try not to bombard the Community with too many blogs. In fact, we won't have more than 2 blogs in the Community News per week. September was a busy month and the It Takes a Village blog that announces the monthly action to gain the Collaborator Badge/points has had to be on hold.
Good news!! I am still going to hand out Collaborator Badges and points to those of you who:
1. Have a profile photo
2. Made 1 update to your profile information in September
Look later today in this thread for who earned the Badge/points for this month!
In harmony and inclusion,
Elizabeth2 -
Time for a pre-emptive, socially-distanced high five!
