Today started out as many others.  I got up early, took care of the pets and if I'm not working that particular day, I try to do my errands early.  I had quite a few lined up today and am still cleaning up for The Chinese New Year next week.  Thankfully I was home early as well because I received a phone call I WOULDN'T HAVE WANTED TO MISS!

It was from a Producer of a Radio Station on FM Radio that airs in both New York City and Long Island.  She explained who she was and since I wasn't familiar with the Station, explained that every Saturday morning on their Radio Broadcasts they have different topics.  They are doing a show about Interior Design and oftentimes some guests are interviewed while others come on and read their blog posts.  She wanted to incorporate Feng Shui into Interior Design and I was asked if I would like to read a particular post.

I went to the post that she said she particularly liked which was back in July!  She must have done quite a bit of reading to get back there but there was one she thought the audience would enjoy.  Here's the post I wrote so long ago:  The "REAL" Scoop on Feng Shui: (Let's Get Personal Now) By: Feng Shui Long Island

The particular post speaks of Activerain as well as Feng Shui.  Further, in listening to an archived broadcast she sent me where someone read their blog, they do tell the audience the blog site's name.  I am thrilled of course and had to ask her how she found me.  She told me she did a Google Search on "Feng Shui Blogs" and it brought me right up!

Radio

I am TRYING not to get too excited at the moment.  I have an appointment for next week that I need to try and reschedule and I need to go to the Bronx to read my post.  I am not fond of driving into the area because I am not at all familiar with it but I'm ‘working on it.'

I have had more then a few Activerain Success Stories including having written about the fact that Activerain is currently attracting more clients then my website (which has very high placement).  People will read something I've written and it will strike a cord with them....and in the comments I received I see that it's generating more business for MANY of us.  This is another Activerain Success Story:  ActiveRain, Google Juice and Lots of Success! by Feng Shui Long Island

That post was apparently written while some negativity was going on in the Rain.  Unfortunately, I find it cropping up again and again.  So here's a heartfelt "tip" for my fellow bloggers:  People are reading us far and wide and "Members Only" posts mean nothing.  Did you happen to notice that the people claiming the most success with AR are people that are NOT posting any negative issues?  They may generate comments but they DO NOT attract clients to you.  People LOVE reading all things positive!  I know I do.

One last thing to mention:  The date I will be going in if I can arrange everything is February 7th.  Does it ring a bell for anyone?  It's the Chinese New Year!  (I TOLD you those things I posted about work)!  Please wish me luck that I can manage to change my appointment and make it out to the Bronx!           And if I do you can be sure I'll announce it right here!

Awesome Carole-  Luck is the Intersection of Preparedness meeting Opportunity - you have both - you will open many doors and I wish I could tune in to hear you - would they be able to give you a release of the recording to put into a future Blog? If so that would be great ! I'm gonna tell Jeff that you'll need an agent soon :) ( not Real Estate - a personal promotions manager :)

Oh, I'm so excited about the excellent exposure this is going to give you and your blog....I could do a happy dance right about now.

Anona, I am thrilled but have to rearrange things to do this and hoping I can work it out!  Thanks so much for your comment, anything can happen on AR!

Kathi, Thank you so much for your positive energy :)  I'm trying to just see everything falling into place!

Julie, I have to wonder how I'll do with a microphone in front of me--I may freeze :)  No, I take that back, I will do fine...(I will keep repeating that!)

Deborah, It is certainly a wonderful day for it, I am thrilled with the date!  And I've been cleaning :)

Kathy, It's at Fordham University, it's a bit of a trip!  I'm hoping I can get there...wanna come with me :)?

Jackie, I sure hope so although I'd just be happy to do fine!  (I'm still repeating I can re-arrange my schedule!)

Grace,Thank you for the good vibes!  The producer sent me a link and the show gets archived so I believe I can post the link in AR?  I'ts not a podcast but I believe it works the same way.

Brian,Thank you, Activerain will be mentioned too.  I believe I will be able to post a link to it later on if it's archived but she asked for a rewrite to add more content first.  But  I should be able to post it.

Gregory, It never ceases to amaze me how many people are reading AR.  Aside from business I've had other contacts from people finding my posts--what a wonderful site!

Jo,Bring those dancing shoes over to NY, you'd want to visit here anyway :)!  I'm going to borrow your lucky number for the day if it's ok....I might need all the luck I can find, lol

Missy,I am cautiously excited...I was invited to do a podcast last year and I just couldn't make it...but I am also thrilled that I was asked and even FOUND.  That says a lot for AR.

Maria, Thank you for the light you send!  What a wonderful day to do it!  When I get off AR I am going to work on a rewrite. 

Lisa, I am so unfamiliar with the Bronx I don't know how to get there!  I wouldn't mind paying for a cab but do you know the way those guys drive??  I'd really like to make it in one piece :)

Laurie, Wouldn't it be nice to have a limo?  One huge stress taken away!  This actually says a lot for the power of Activerain, who is reading us...so it's everyone from the NY Times to radio stations....and more.  That's really incredible.

Carol, What a sweet comment, thank you.  It's funny that you would mention that, I think some people had as many misconceptions about New York City as they did about Feng Shui!  (Spoken by a true New Yorker:)

Joan, I am trying to find out if anything takes you there without changing a million times.  I am only used to the LIRR and that won't get me there--unless I check another line which I will do.  You didn't get that bell yet?  Try and have it by the 6th (we like brass :)

Joan, They won't be sending a limo :(  Then all I'd have to do is rearrange that date....I've asked my son to see if he could possibly switch days at work....poor kid, it's not the first time he's had to get me somewhere :)

Gary, Thank you but this was directly from my AR Posts.  This site is so widely read it astounds me.

Ginger, How sweet!  I'm not shining yet until I can work everything out but I always think you get the clients you are meant to have and you do the things you are meant to do.  So I am waiting to see (and I hope I was meant to do this!)

Darlene, Thank you for your comment.  This site is awesome for being found but I believe certain posts just connect with certain people....that's what some clients have told me from finding me at AR.

Libby, Thank you!  You sound almost as excited as I am, what wonderful energy you are sending!  I appreciate it and will keep you updated.

Sally, You are much of my inspiration on here with your incredible posts.  I will NEVER forget Mr. W.  I know what it is to stay connected to a client and then they are no longer a former client, they are a true FRIEND.

Russ, Thank you, I hope New Yorkers hear about AR if they haven't already! 

Melissa, Thank you so much!  It's a wonderful opportunity to get heard a bit--and the people that are supposed to hear it, will....

You certainly hit on something very important.... The people who post negative things!!!!

These people are probably angry because they aren't succesful so they point out other bloggers 'faults'. Viscous cycle when things arent going your way.

Congrats, and good luck on the 7th!!!

WooHoo --  Sorry, Sally, I only borrowed it this ONE time!

Trace, Thank you!  I'd have to say ditto back to you, good fortune will follow you as well.

Lizette, It's exciting and a good opportunity.  Still waiting to see but am thinking positive!

Kevin & Monica, Thank you, what a nice thing to say.  AR is a better place with the both of you as well.

Gayle, I just did a cut and paste to get in but it would have to be after the broadcast, maybe when it gets archived?  I don't know yet how that works but there will be a way to get in.

Sally, My thoughts exactly!  Thank you for your support and your comment.

Tony, Thank you!  Keep blogging, they will be contacting you too in no time.

Jim, I certainly will keep everyone up to date; thank you for your comment.

Marci, How nice to see you!  Wow, I forgot, I DID say that to you.  I'm glad that you remembered and that you reminded Me :)  Thanks so much for stopping by!

Jo, You're so sweet, thank you for coming back.  Can you possibly bring those dancing shoes over--with you in them?  :)

Katerina, You AMAZE me, I would have never thought of that!  I will absolutely bring my camera, it's a wonderful idea, thank you!

Ntsike, Thank you for your comment, it will hopefully be good for me and AR as well!

Richard, I hope it will too although I can't complain about it at all, fortunately.  Thank you for your comment.

Robert, You are so right, the Rain has been very good for me and a number of people!

Tom, I truly don't know in what way that brings them business so what's the point?  It's better by far to focus your energy on all the good everyday.  Thank you!!

Christy, It is so exciting and unexpected!  That call came as a complete surprise and a good one at that.

Jean, Wouldn't that be wonderful?  It covers all of New York City so it's possible!

Teri, I am thrilled at both.  It's a good opportunity to hopefully have people hear me...but I am thinking positive thoughts!

Jeff, They will be mentioning where they found me...they did on the other person who read her blog on the air.  So Activerain will be heard all over NYC and parts of LI.. (and me, too :)

Renee, Thank you so much.  I work hard on my posts and it's so nice to know people are reading!

Jem, Thank you SO much, those are some very kind words.  Gee, I must be giving off some powerful energy :)  Didn't I say that I planned to mention each Activerain member by name :)  It would only take about 11 or 12 hours!

Dianne, Happy Chinese New Year to you as well!  And thank you so much for your kind wishes...I will report back :)
