Celebrating - Follow your passion and things will happen
If you have a passion, don't be afraid to follow it. Be consistent, work hard, don't give up and great things can happen.
Many of you here know me for the blockchain data posts I use to do. Some of you know I am the owner of @theexcelclub, my business account here on Hive. For many years now I have been blogging about Excel and Power BI, and using these tools in a variety of ways. Its been a passion, which I turned into a career.
Yesterday I received notification from Microsoft that I had been awarded the MVP status. The letter below details what this award is about.
Good job the pubs are back open (although its bookings only) - Now I have a great excuse to go :-)

MVP!
Very impressive, well done Paula!
@abh12345 I was going to message you last night to tell you, but then seems I have not been in touch in so long, I decided not too. I'm so super excited. Now I need to buy like tonnes of hive to kick start the community. I'm a little out of touch on the developments with communities, I might ping you with some questions over the next few days if that's good with you :-)
That would be grand :) You can join me on 100k?
Feel free to ping :)
100K- damn dude, it will take me a long time to catch up with that. Well done you. I need to be your BBF again 😂
Wow congratulations.
Nice work. 👍

ENGAGEtokens.Yepppeeeee @nickyhavey. I have been missing Hive and the community. how is @youtop3 going? How have you been?
Haha we've missed you too but you've obviously been kicking some serious butt outside of it all!
@yourtop3 is going great guns thanks - the help you gave with setting up the league formulas has propelled the leagues! We're really loving it and glad we can bring some enjoyment, fun and a few added HIVE prizes in to the mix - our mascot Q thinks he's Freddie Mer-Q-ry now in this latest topic of Lead Singers!
Congratulations! You are doing a great job adding value to Hive. Hope to see even more Excel fans here, even if I am more of an open source guy :)

ENGAGEtokens.I’m super happy for you girl 👧
@Nathanmars - I have been watching you closely on twitter. I promise I will be back, just finding it hard time-wise as you know. Another 8 weeks till the kids return to school and hopefully I will have time to champion Hive as much as I champion Excel. You know my plan to bring an Excel community to Hive, well it's still going to happen. I'm so glad you are back :-)
We’re decentralised community and while I was taking break you guys worked hard during hardfork.
So it’s my turn now. Please focus on your family and I know you’ll be back when you’re ready.

Stay safe - talk soon
Congratulations Paula, clearly a well-deserved accolade. ✅
Hi @galenkp, I hope you are keeping well?
Thanks, its for sure a proud moment
Yes, pretty well...We lost our dad last night, tarazkp and I...But the community have been nice and supportive. It's been a revelation actually.
You should be very proud of your achievement - Loads of hard work, perseverance and effort I'm sure. ✅
Oh no, I am so sorry to hear that!!! Sending hugs to you and your family :-(
Thanks Paula. 🙂
wow, not bad! You can truly be proud of yourself :D
thank you very much @hatoto
Congratulations Paula!!!
You deserve it!!!
Thank you so so much @gikitiki, I'm actually overwhelmed with the support on this post today
Incredible! I feel honored to interact with someone with such a high award! Congratulations! That is incredible, I'm glad that Microsoft has taken notice of the expertise you have in Excel!
Lol such a sweet message, I'm just as honored that you and so many here on hive are so supportive all of the time :-)
Congrats, I am chasing MVP for ASP.NET from such a long time hopefully I have to work hard a little more just like you
Work hard & network loads. I'm ten years doing Excel stuff
Great! Congratulations @paulag! Nice to have you here on Hive already such a long time🙂👍
Thanks, yea I am a bit of an old-timer here on the block
The title of this post says it all.
:-)
Congratulations. That is so great, I can honestly say you are the first MVP that I have ever interacted with, and it was your excel chart post that got me learning how to do the pie charts in libre office. A very well deserved reward.
what a lovely comment @bashadow, most of the time my Excel posts gain little attention here, but when I read something like that, it makes it well worth my time. Thank you very very much :-)
A lot of what is posted in your excell community does translate to other programs, I have learned how to use LibreCalc mostly from your excel post, like linking data from one spreadsheet to another or from one file to another and tying them together to auto update. Pretty useful stuff. So when I get stuck I first cruise through the excel post. Most of it is way above my level, but still helpful.
Congrats!
Congrats! Massive respect.
Sup @demotruk, thank you so much
yesss...always go for your heart...it knows the way ;)
Congratulations! That is pretty cool.
Thanks :-) its so way cool
Congratulations for your achievement! My career being my hobby at the same time, I am fully in line with the first sentences of this post :)
it's so awesome to have a hobby as a career. Thank you for the well wishes
It’s great to see hard work and dedication getting deserved recognition. Congratulations and cheers!
Hay @enjar, thank you so much for your support
