The start of the New Year is always an exciting time for me but the 1st of January is always a bit of a nail biting day for me as this is when I find out whether my MVP has been renewed, something I never take for granted.
Well I'm ecstatic and delighted to share with you the following email I received from Microsoft saying I've been renewed which takes me into my 8th consecutive year of being an MVP. A want to say a HUGE thank you to Microsoft for re-awaring me but I also want to thank YOU the community as without you guys none of this would be possible.
I hope what I've done in 2010 has been of use to you and I look forward to continue serving the community in 2011 (and beyond), and there's plenty to get excited about which I'll share with you all as I can.
In the mean time I want to wish you and your loved one's a Very Happy, Peaceful and Prosperous 2011 and remember if there is anything you feel the community needs simply get in touch as that's what I'm hear for.
