   Awesome video. Like the very interactive part of opening stuff up and not just sitting nicely in your chair. Love your show, keep it up!

   Shama!
   What a wonderful treat and hearing the names of my pals Pam and Suzanne was icing on the cake. I think YOU rock, and I absolutely love ShamaTV.

   You have a great on camera presence and your enthusiasm is wonderful.

   Shama –

   Congrats on the launch of Shama.tv! What an awesome idea! And what a great post on giving and receiving gratitude. Sometimes the simplest “thank-you” means so much and is so very appreciated.

   Now as your virtual personal trainer, we need to talk about the chocolate, girlfriend……..

   =)

   Great reminder! One of my clients recently sent me chocolates, too, and it was such a pick-me-up! (It didn’t hurt that I was hugely pregnant and needed a pick-me-up… and the client knew that, which made it even nicer!)

   I need to be more intentional about recognizing the people who make my life wonderful, both personally and professionally. Nerdy as it is, I should really schedule some time on a regular basis to take action and recognize folks.

   Thanks for your thanks. Infectious like laughter (go viral, ho!)

   Shared your exemplary thank you on Ed Brenegar’s social network “Say Thank You Every Day” (linked above).

   (saw no feedback whether the web page received the comment, so I submit once more. Sorry. Delete if duplicate.)

   Shama, thank you for being a thankful person, and demonstrating what that is like on video.

   I’ve started a Ning group around my Johnny Bunko 7th lesson – Saying Thanks Every Day –
   http://saythankseveryday.ning.com. It is a place to encourage and discover the transformative power of gratitude.

   I believe that the feelings thankfulness follow from acting in a grateful way. The actions of gratitude have the power to transform the social and organizational situations that we are in. The Say Thanks Every Day site is helping us all to get into action every day.

   Thanks a lot Shama.

    Shama,

    How could you not be sure that you’d be great on camera like Gary V? You’ve got a wonderful personality and your authenticity is what is helping you win clients and raving fans.

    Keep giving it your all: I can tell you’ll continue to prosper!

    Thanks Andrew. : ) You know, it’s one of those things, where you just aren’t sure of yourself! I loved speaking and teaching people but was a little nervous about putting myself out there in such a “here’s me!” manner. Your support means the world to me!
