What I Learned This Week at ActiveRain-March 8 to March 14, 2020

 

I learn something new every day at ActiveRain! With this series, I try to highlight one post per day that gave me that lightbulb moment. It could be something techie, something about Real Estate or the other professions that I never knew, about a place, or about a person. Or, it could be a post that made me sit up and take notice! 

 

liz and bill spearMarch 8:  Liz and Bill Spear     She’s Allowed to Day Drink

Besides pets of the 4 legged variety, Liz and Bill also have pets that buzz!  I loved learning more about bees with this post!!!

 

rain silverhawkMarch 9: Rain Silverhawk Can you think outside the box?

No peeking at the answer! But the ability to think outside the box is a helpful trait to have.

 

sharon taraSharon Tara Sensory Appeal is Just As Important as Curb Appeal

Once again Sharon shares excellent staging advice in a way that is easy to understand.

 

christine wadeMarch 10: Christine Wade Inspiration...

Now more than ever we need to find that one thing that can inspire us to live our lives to the fullest.

 

lottie kendallMarch 11: Lottie Kendall "White Space" Gives One Time to Think

Such a timely post from Lottie. I think we'll all have some time for some "white space" so put it to good use.

 

richie alan naggarMarch 12: Richie Alan Naggar COME TO YOUR SENSES (Call to Life)

It's a great read and worth it. Richie is a great observer of what we can't see or often miss.

 

roy kelleyMarch 13: Roy Kelley ActiveRain Practices: Deceased Members Designation

We aren't just a blogging platform, we are a very unique community. What do you think of Roy's suggestion?

 

ron and alexandra seigelMarch 14: Ron and Alexandra Seigel Saturday Smiles: A Rabit Noticed My Condition

We could all use this right now. By the way, you should be able to see the rabbit in the moon the closer we get to Easter. See if you can find it.








Don’t forget to check out Carol Williams Second Chance Saturday posts as well!!! I always find several posts that I’ve missed.
