A few months ago, I met Yvonne Root of Rooms By Root - you may know her as Northern Arizona Home Stager. After commenting on each other's posts and emailing back and forth, we finally had the opportunity to meet at the Phoenix Blogging Conference back in June. Yvonne is more than a home stager, though, Yvonne is a genuine person. A wonderful lady with a great sense of humor, only to be dwarfed in comparison to the size of her heart.
Why do I bring this up?
This last weekend, I had a "flippin' inventory" sale at my house. My family and I spent the entire week sorting through my staging warehouse and deciding what had seen better days and what needed a new home. Believe me, there was plenty to
it! With enough inventory to stage 40 vacant homes - this was quite an optimistic endeavor.
Some time during the week, I came to my senses and called Yvonne. Would she, could she come down to help?
Now keep in mind - we live approximately 2 hours apart. There's a reason she's called the Northern Arizona Home Stager and I'm not. Without even missing a beat, Yvonne arrived at my house Saturday morning at 6am - which means she left her house around 4am!! 4am!!
WOW! Now, that's amazing! She was a real trooper too. She helped, pitched and supervised. Awesome all the way around.
I am so thankful to Active Rain for introducing me to Yvonne. I'm thankful for the community of networking that has allowed two people who live two hours apart who would typically by competitors to be comrades and friends. I'm blessed.
Thank you, Yvonne and Thank you A/R - You Rock!
Have you made the same connection with someone here on A/R that perhaps you might have missed? I'd love to hear about it!
