Thank you for your help in reaching my Facebook 1000 likes goal

A couple of days ago, my goal of reaching 1000 likes for this site on Facebook, seemed unrealistic. But I asked for help and a whole host of people stepped up to help out.

Erin Michaela Brandt, masseuse, dance teacher and men’s coach
Darren Mattock, founder of Becoming Dad
Stephanie Lisa Kelly, blogger and part of the leadership team of Alive in Berlin
Boysen Hodgson, Mankind Project US
Barbara Rivera, a woman I don’t even know who got involved (I love the Internet!)

These people, and several others, somehow got excited about helping out. The result is that Masculinity-Movies.com received more likes over the last couple of days than in the 4 years preceding them.

Truth be told, I haven’t really worked hard to make a huge impact on Facebook, but I want to get this work out there more and this is such a great start.

I feel really grateful and a little overwhelmed that so many people care about this work and I want to extend my warmest thank yous to you all.

Happy New Year!

Much love,
Eivind
