"I am one happy millionaire"
I have always wanted to be a millionaire and now I have joined that select group on ActiveRain! It has taken me a few years and I took a few years off but then I came back to the Rain and set my eyes on the prize of participation!
I joined Active Rain in December 2008 when I wrote a blog about attending an auction in Chevy Chase MD. I got no comments on that post - I hope it was in the days before the category for first blogs! It would be REALLY disheartening to think that I was highlighted as a new blogger and no one commented. But that would be VERY un-Active Rain!
My next post was on Roosevelt's speech that we have nothing to fear but fear itself. December 2008 was scary if you were a Realtor. That post got one very kind and much cherished comment from someone who has since disappeared.
Like most other ActiveRain members who keep at it here, I have tried to participate in discussions, be supportive of new members and old, keep my sense of humor, and remember the purpose for being here. I cherish the education I have received over the last 8 years, the on line friends I have made, and the SEO that I have developed. I just signed a listing this morning that came to me because of a very long tail blog post I wrote about a coop building in Bethesda. This year has been rewarding as leads have come in as the result of blog posts I have written.
I don't see ActiveRain as a vehicle for judging other people, enforcing my opinions or policing their actions. I envy people who have that much time on their hands - but that is not me. I also am amazed by how much vituperation ActiveRain can engender. REALLY?
To me, this is a virtual community - created to educate and develop google juice for people who post here. With everything going on in the world these days, I think we should treat each other nicely here and if we can't, then we should sit down and take a few deep breaths. I don't know you and you don't know me. You don't know if I had a good day or a bad one. When I am snarky, please assume I just had a miserable day, and ignore me - please.
When we all pile on each other..... lets just say we are better than that.
I am so thankful that I found my way to ActiveRain - and I love the education, contacts, and leads that I have found here. It works - and it is all good. Thank you to all the wonderful people I have met here in the Rain.
