The Positive Attitude for the Weary Soul and the Inspiration!! Groups have long since been places to get and give inspiration as well as lifting weary souls to positive levels from the day of their inception into the ActiveRain Group O'Rama last summer. (We currently have 3291 Groups on ActiveRain....wow! )
Don't you all believe that the Spring season is such a beautiful and positive season? The flowers are in bloom, sunny blue skies, cool air, a little breeze through your hair, birds chirping and the miracle of new life surrounding us! Well, I sure get a dose of inspiration; of ‘spring fever' when this season arrives and thought....what better way to boost our community with lots of spring fever but with a bonding of members from both groups (and any new members as well).
So, with this in mind, our own Jo-Anne Smith (founder of Inspiration !!, and who is also founder of the Heritage Properties, Historic Sites and Antiques . and the Localism Success and Accountability Group ) and myself, Sally Cheeseman (founder of the POSITIVE ATTITUDE for the Weary Soul) are bonding together to bring you our DUAL Contest for Views in Spring! With a whole lot of inspiration and positive attitudes, your posts will give our community insight into what "A Spring Full of Inspiration and Positive Views" means to each and every one of us.
The following are some suggestions for our theme " A Spring Full of Inspiration and Positive Views ":
To improve the ActiveRain Community (Spring is in the air)- Your Family Spring "To Do List" (Cleaning, Vacations, Time together)
- How Your Inspirational and Positive Attitude reflects on those around you
- Home Staging for Spring (or your specific RE related business)
