I don't know that I could ever come up with enough ways to say "thank you" for all you did for the challenges, Jackie. Not only did you share 200+ examples over the years, but you were our top challenge recruiter. I probably need a second leaderboard for "Friends of Jackie" to highlight all the newbies you encouraged and mentored in the challenges.

Jackie's challenges were both inspiring and terrifying for me! I lurked on the site for many months before gathering the courage to join in. I told myself that even Jackie must have had a learning curve, so it's okay if I start posting at the beginning of my learning curve. :)

I was as scared as anyone else when I started lobbing in challenge entries. Even after being buoyed by feedback from this wonderful community I still questioned - every single week - if what I was about to post was actually just the worst.
There's a lot to be said for silencing that inner critic. :)- TracyCarroll3 years agoCommunity MemberMaybe I should have said your challenges were always scary good! :) My inner critic is really a pest.
