100,000 points...I started blogging here on AR in November of 2007.. 83 associations later, 73 subscribers, 126 posts here I am. WHEW!!! How did I get here???

Two featured posts...At first I strived for the "FEATURE"...what would the AR gods want to hear, read, know about that was feature worthy? Well Rich kindly nudged me one day and said, just go for content and enjoy the writing and the experience and don't worry about the feature. A funny thing happened. I did that, and found friendships, fun, lots of good reading, great advice on every possible topic, reasons to donate to causes, fights to join for the greater good, and real estate and staging issues to talk about, contribute to and participate in.

Some were just darn fun like the dancing analogy to real estate http://activerain.com/blogsview/757647/DO-YOU-CHA-CHA-WHEN-YOUR-CLIENTS-HIP-HOP

Some were newfound causes and awareness posts http://activerain.com/blogsview/713966/How-many-aluminum-cans-106000-every-30-seconds

Some were educational in nature for consumers that would help them make decisions http://activerain.com/blogsview/590602/Why-trade-my-dirty-carpet-for-your-dirty-carpet-A-little-bit-of-history

You said WHAT?????

Some were a little controversial or shocking in nature http://activerain.com/blogsview/396957/This-may-be-why-Realtors-dont-want-you-talking-to-their-clients

All in all, would I change a word??? Well maybe one or two. But the richness of AR is the people. THANKS all for reading, commenting and being here for me to chat with when I needed an ear. My pleasure to contribute the same for you at a time when you might have wanted that same thing.

Here's to 200,000...See you all - late night on AR...Fondly (and you know who you are)...Terrylynn

Margaret, you are so kind. THANKS for reading. I am just glad that the things I write resonate with someone out there. It's validating and I really just like helping someone else have an easier time along the road. It's very rewarding when they say something I said helped them make a stride and saved them some angst or time or money.

Lisa, oh me too. Sometimes you see my posts at 2 am...I just have so much to do and say that I'm on a roll. I try to take one day a week off from all of it. Not always too successful, but try for balance (I am actually always striving for balance.)...thanks for the kind words.
