active rain: Giving Back...Active Rain Style!!! - 07/25/08 09:01 AM
I preach to my kids frequently, "You're either a 'giver' or a 'taker'...take your pick"!
The same is true on Active Rain...or in life in general for that matter! We marvel and rave about the blogging successes we have had as a result of our involvement, but do we … (15 comments)

active rain: Who Is Active Fran...The Title Man??? - 05/05/08 08:09 PM
I once read an article that claimed that the best way to define something or someone is by stating what they ARE NOT!!!
So, in an attempt to get you to know me better (If you don't know me already after reading all 360 of my posts), I will tell you who … (22 comments)

This post was supposed to be written on Tuesday morning, but I couldn't resist the urge to write it immediately!

active rain: Sunday Sojourn...Taking It To The Next Level! - 03/09/08 12:08 AM
We hear that expression often...'taking it to the next level'...for me it describes the principle that in business you never 'plateau'...you either continue to grow or you're shrinking!
Looking back, life itself is a series of 'taking it to the next level'!
In education, at work, in our hobbies, pasttimes, even in our … (10 comments)

Listen Active Rainers...My subscriber list has stalled for a few days now at 98 99! So I'm extending an invitation for a couple one more Active Rainers to subscribe to my blog so I can hit that 'Century Mark'!

active rain: Active Rain...Harness The Power! - 02/04/08 01:07 PM
Active Rain...Rain, Rein, & Reign!!!
It's obvious, to me at least, that Active Rain does not represent the professional real estate community at large! Now this observation of mine is purely anecdotal, and represents only 6 months of blogging, commenting, emailing, and general navigating here on Active Rain!
Nevertheless, I think my determination … (17 comments)

active rain: What Do The Yellow Pages, Google, & Active Rain Have In Common??? - 02/03/08 08:47 AM
What do the Yellow Pages, Google, & Active Rain have in common???
Easy answer...the spread of written information for public use!
Is that what we are here on Active Rain...just a fancy internet version of 'The Yellow Pages'?
I remember telling those interested in learning the mechanics of Title Insurance, "there are three important … (13 comments)

Aquarium Or Family...Which Is Active Rain?
I got to thinking about this topic...I recognized early on that there was something special going on here on Active Rain...besides the large number of real estate professionals freely exchanging information, business tips, and helpful hints for everyone, there was the 'social aspect'...the mutual respect … (52 comments)

active rain: Active Rain.......An Acronym! - 09/25/07 07:51 PM
As I have mentioned in some of my past posts, I am a 'puzzle lover'. Hard crosswords, cryptoquotes, sudokus, etc. are what I thrived on before my Active Rain addiction!
One of my favorite thought activities are ACRONYMS. I offer one here for your consideration:
A---A
C---COMMUNITY
T---TO
I---INSPIRE
V---VISION
E---EVERYWHERE
R---REAL ESTATE
A---ACTION
I---IS
N---NECESSARY
Any of you Active Rainers out … (12 comments)

active rain: This is my 13th post... lucky? - 08/08/07 02:07 PM
Like the 13th floor of an elevator is often avoided, so I have been reluctant to write my 13th blog.
Now I'm not superstitious, except when it comes to baseball or stepping on the cracks in sidewalks. But I couldn't help but notice how today the AR community has grown to 42,000.
