active rain: The Social Media Addiciton - 06/27/09 09:25 PM
There was a time I would spend hours (it seems) on Active Rain blogging, reading, commenting. Then I went to a couple of REBAR camps. First one in Fredericksburg, VA and then one in Philly. I got introduced to Twitter, which I didn't like at first. Facebook took up some time. … (6 comments)

active rain: Heading to the Virginia REBar Camp - 03/02/09 08:28 PM
Tomorrow is a kinda big day for me. It's the first time I'll be attending an o-fficial REBar camp. It's the closest one I've found -- Fredericksburg, VA -- which is still about a 70 mile hike for me through some of the worst rush hour known to mankind. It's being … (8 comments)

It was a dark and stormy night....

active rain: Negotiating with my own past clients - 12/28/08 10:14 AM
In my previous post, "An Early Christmas present I could have done WITHOUT", I talked about getting caught unawares in a negotiation with one of my past clients over money.
I say was unaware because, truly, I didn't expect to be having a conversation two days before Christmas about a frenzied … (39 comments)

You wouldn't know that a year ago I didn't know Pat Kennedy from, er, thousands of of Realtors everywhere in the country. Then I started hanging out on Active Rain. To this day, I have no idea how I stumbled across her blog...but I'm sure glad I did.
