A Thankful Message for all our "Colors"

Oddly, of all weeks, I stumbled on a old song... we all have heard before.

But sometimes an "old" song can sound new.

In light of recent Home Staging Industry issues and dialogue... this song holds a hope-filled message that seems to fit our needs, wishes and dreams.

The song simply reminds us to think bigger, see more, be open and be respectful.

Its message is one all in our colorful industry can benefit from... in a new context and way.

"For if you walk the footsteps of a stranger, you will learn things you never knew you never knew."

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours... Me

I love this network I get different song every morning and never know what they are going to be. Have a great thanksgiving and thanks for your thoughts and good post

Craig: This is really awesome and the song so fitting for our industry. I am so excited to see our industry starting to come together! I am thankful for SIF...it has truly been a "gift".

Yes, my friend, It is a WONDERFUL WORLD. Happy Thanksgiving! Thx for the smile.

Beautiful. Perfect.

Except now I have to go get my hands on a copy of the DVD and watch the whole movie all the way thru.... Happy Thanksgiving!

Open and respectful, I like that, Craig.

Together we're better!

Craig - this song hold special meaning for me also. When my son was 3 he wanted to be Pocahontas when he grew up - so funny. Now he is going to play ball with the Yankees.

Have a great Thanksgiving.

Inspiring Craig, thank you!

Thanks for the message in song Craig, I love that one!

Craig, thank you again for all your work to unite us for the better!

Happy Thanksgiving to you!

Dear Craig,

First, I want to say that I am one of those stagers that reads Stage It Forward on a regular basis. But I have not yet set up a profile. Today I could no longer be on the outside and say nothing. I would like to thank you for sharing such a positive message as this. My wish is that your message reaches into the hearts of those who feel hurt.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Craig - I'm not sure there could be a more perfect and beautiful way to convey such an important message.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!

In Gratitude,

Jackie

Excellent choice. Happy Thanksgiving.

This is a good message for all of us to remember.
