I love blogging. It might not seem like it since there hasn't been much coming from LTTC (Last Train To Clarksville) but I have been pretty busy with our clients, which is very important to us. To my devoted readers, it might be a little downer but I am picking up where I left off.
Many of you have seen my writings on our "Angel Girl" and the new addition, Gabbie, coming this weekend...5 days to be exact! I believe it is wonderful to be able to be in a line of work, such as Real Estate, and have a blog that will allow the future clients to see who they are dealing with. What type of morals and ethics they have...you will see through their writing. Do they get personal? If not, why? Some blogs I have read say it isn't good to have a page about this and then a page about your field of work and then a page about something personal, etc... Some don't want to read about your personal life and the lessons learned, some just want information and move on. I respect that BUT this is how I write. This is who I am, who my family is and we are people just like you.
In writing and sharing our happiness, growth spurts and hard times, we find that it gives others the ability to reach out into the world wide web and offer comfort or advise where we wouldn't be able to otherwise. We aren't face to face, just letter to letter. I have appreciated all the comments, letters and gifts from those who saw through our rough times in the past 7 weeks.
With our "Angel Girl" story, I received an email from a buyer who is moving to Ft. Campbell, KY. They have no children in human form, only in 4 legged form. :) She felt it was a sign that she saw my blog on our animals and decided to email and call me. We clicked right away and just this past weekend they became buyers and are now in a contract to own their very own home that is perfect for them!
I worried at first about what style of blogging I would eventually be writing. I didn't want to open up and possibly offend someone, let alone get those hate emails disagreeing (which haven't happened yet, don't be the first either). I realized that not only do I want to have a Real Estate blog sharing the marketing trends and what is going on in Clarksville, I wanted to share who I was and help others if I could by my way of thinking and writing. It has been wonderful to have others help me!
So in closing...is it ok to blog personal? I think it is a great thing! What are your views on it?
