Back in March of 2008, I wrote this post..

''The Margarets of Maryland"

M Woda What do you do when someone with your name passes you by in the ActiveRain rankings? You say "Congratulations!" Especially when that someone is a gracious lady named Margaret Woda.

A few weeks ago, the Other Margaret of Maryland warned me to get my blogging back up to speed because she didn't want to pass me and become #2 on the Maryland page. How's that for thoughtful and considerate? But I've been a bit busy lately with changing companies, taking new listings, speaking at the Women's Council of Realtors, taking classes, and, oh yes, writing a book (coming this summer!) With all that, the blogging frequency slipped and so did those points.The other night I called Margaret Woda to congratulate her, and we had a lovely conversation. I can't think of anyone I'd rather have overtake me…at least temporarily...than this Anne Arundel County professional.Congratulations, Margaret!'' This was written in 2008!

#############################################

Fast forward a few years ....January 2011, I received this email from the other Margaret in Maryland.
From: Margaret Woda, To: Margaret Rome

'' Congratulations! Hey, you're back where you belong - ranked above me on Activerain.....'' and signed...

''Margaret (The other Margaret in MD)''

Again today, Margaret and I had a wonderful conversation, talking about this past year, sharing some gal pal stuff and making plans to get together soon for lunch. Margaret is a gracious, kind, supportive, wonderful sharing and caring friend. I am delighted to share the top two women positions with her.

There is definitely room at the top for both of us...The Margarets in Maryland.

Maryland is fortunate to have so many amazing women named Margaret. My new year began with a phone call from Margaret Rome encouraging me to make a difference here. Somehow she found the time to make a connection which I will always remember. Congratulations and thank you!

Now that's what I call healthy, respectful competition -- encouraging one another to top the board -- how refreshing! Congrats to both Margaret's -- you're clearly class acts!

I stopped by to comment on your post today and found my picture at the top. How funny! It's been great to find myself paired with you as one of the "Margarets in Maryland" - I couldn't ask for better company.

By the way, a consumer will find you at MargaretinMaryland.com and they'll find me at MargaretinMD.com. I think we should create a NEW website and forward both domains to the new site promoting both of our market areas.

Margaret, I have always been pleased to have the same name, the same state, the same love of real estate and many of the same friends. Love the idea of the Margaret/Maryland website..this would also be good for localism. Let's talk soon.

Margaret, you two ladies are such an inspiration! I had the privilege of meeting Ms. Woda here in Raleigh when she (and Pat Kennedy) participated at our RDU BarCamp. I liked her from the moment we met doesn't surprise me at all that she would be so forth coming ~ now I look forward to a day when we'll meet as well. Such a delightful post!
