Are YOU Link-Loved Yet? Kate Case and Mary Yonkers are.....Please join us!

By
Home Stager with Feng Shui Manhattan Long Island #888

When I started the Group Activerain Link Love Activerain Link Love it was just after the beginning of the New Year.    While I know we have more then enough groups on Activerain, I thought one that focused on other members would not only give us something additional to write about but it would help "pay it forward."

So, where's the LOVE?? 

This Group has been off to a slow start.  Tonight, as I was reading some blogs I came across more 'cut and pastes' then I care to mention (and no, I did not report them).  I came across one person's blog who had exactly 50 words each, slightly rearranged from the original source and not ONE of them indicated what they actually did for work.  I had to go through two PAGES of blogs before there was a post indicating anything about their profession.

For those of you who are members, THANK YOU for joining.  And please tell a FRIEND.  This group was meant to help others in the Rain that deserved a "nod" or a welcome or just because they're good writers and we enjoy their work.  And maybe (just maybe) it would give those 'cut and paste' people something to write about so they don't have to use other people's work.

Here are two people I'd like to point out that you may have overlooked or just not been able to get to.  One is Kate Case Kates Home Staging and Redesign Blog who knows well a subject near and dear to my heart, Feng Shui.  I think she's terrific and has some wonderful ideas on what to do to help you with Feng Shui Principles and ideas.  One of my favorite posts is right here:  Using the Feng Shui Principles for Your 2010 Business Road Map to Success!

Kate Case

You also might want to join the Group Feng Shui for Real Estate. Feng Shui for Real Estate As more and more people become aware of Feng Shui they are enjoying what they read and even trying simple suggestions.  It works!  

Another wonderful 'rainer' has decided this Group is worth helping.  You can tell by her wonderful Featured Post in the Group Activerain Link LoveFive non featured Active Rain blogs that you probably missed Jan 3rd-9th 2010

She took the time to sort them out and acknowledge FIVE other Activerain people that we all may have missed.  This kind person is none other then our own Mary Yonkers Mary Yonkers : 'Ask Mary'  and if you have a question, you can just "Ask Mary."

Mary Yonkers

I emailed our infamous rainer C Tann Starr C Tann-Starr : Wordy C's Blog of the famous Club Chaos Group  Club Chaos .  No matter HOW busy Carolyn is with her little minions, she always takes the time to get back to me.  She advised me to keep it--and she knows her stuff!

 So here's another round at bringing this group to LIFE.

Carole-yes I admit it I have gotten busy.  Was there someone I wanted to write about?  Absolutely.  Have I forgotten the group?  Not exactly.  My biggest problem though is-who do I write about?  I know who I would like to write about and there are so many of them-who do I write about first?  I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings.  So hence...no entry from Debbie yet.  Sigh....

Carole ~ Thank you very much for mentioning me in your blog. I am so glad you recommend the Feng Shui group to me when I first joined Active Rain and I have enjoyed my time learning all I can about Feng Shui and how it can positively impact our lives.

I am also going to join your new group - Link Love, I guess I will have another favorite group very soon. 

Thank you for all your support during my first 6 months here in the rain, I really appreciate it.

Liz, I'm always up late :)  I'm so glad to hear you'll be contributing.

Mary, Lanre did a wonderful job and he named a number of people.  You have also been helping me get this group off the ground and I thank you for it!

Christopher and Stephanie, That's so wonderful, we look forward to the contributions!

Al & Peggy, I guess it does take time...and there ARE so many groups already.

Jackie, I'm sure you'll get around to it....and it was wonderful speaking to you!!

Susan, As long as it's link love, absolutely!  We'd love to have them!

Robert, A new year and a new group is what I was thinking.  It's a nice time to spread some "love."

Gary, Thank you.  We'll see where this group goes :)

Marti, THANK YOU!  I absolutely appreciate it and I'm sure it will help!!

Debbie, I thought of the same thing but it doesn't matter what order you write them in....no one is going to be insulted!  And eventually you'll be able to get to more and more--it's a wonderful chain reaction!

Kate, I love your posts and always enjoy reading them.  There are a lot of people here interested in Feng Shui and your contributions are valued!

Mary, Thank you, we're so glad to have you aboard!

Gita, Thank you, too and we'll be glad to have you in both places if you choose!

Carol, I just subscribed to the Feng Shui group.  And Ms. C. is one of my faves here on Active Rain.  Got to meet her at Rain Camp, and really wish you'd been there, too!  Maybe you can come to the slumber party I'm hosting for the DC Rain Camp in May!

I like the posts where they take the first paragraph of an article and reproduce it and then include a link to the rest of the article. I wonder what they did in high school and college when they had to write term papers.

Carole- what a wonderful idea! I often read blogs that are full of great information, and while I may comment, I feel they deserve to be well read. It'll be easy to link one every week.

And, I've read Mary Yonkers blogs often, and we compared trips to Alaska, but hadn't heard of Kate, will be sure to check her out now!

Hi Carole...Every time I miss a few days I wind up missing out on something important.  Your group is such a thing. Of course I want to be a part of your group.  I like the theme.  Luckily I saw Joan Mirantz's post about it.
