I am very excited as I succeeded in stepping out of my comfort zone and trying something new.

I noticed that a real estate website (http://www.bytheowner.com/) did not have an English language columnist to write about Home Staging.  I wanted to do it but I was scared - (What if I am not good enough, what if I will not know what to write about, etc) but my friends pushed me....So, I contacted the owner of the site and offered him to write monthly articles for them.  To my great surprise, he quickly agreed (after talking to me for a bit and checking my website) and I became their ''official'' Home Staging expert and columnist!

I had 2 days to come up with the first article to meet their deadline.  I decided to keep it simple and start from the beginning - writing about what Home Staging is and why people should consider it.  If you want to check it out - http://blog.bytheowner.com/2007/01/31/home-staging-%e2%80%93-the-must-have-marketing-tool-for-your-property/

And the key point of this story is:   it's normal to be scared and doubt yourself but you have to do it anyway, it might be easier and turn out better than you thought!

It ain't bragging if it's true.

Congratulations, Sveta.

Way to go, Sveta!  The late, great, Katherine Hepburn, said about life, "Do one thing that scares you every day."  Worked for her (well, that, and swimming in the Atlantic Ocean and having chocolate every day).  Looks like it's working for you!

You guys, all of you - I am so thankful for your support , encouragement and kind words...  I truly appreciate this group of wonderful people and I hope to do the same for you - we all have our dreams, ups and downs and it's great to know that I was allowed to brag!  Thank you so much to each and everyone and I will be your fan as well....
