Congratulations Dorie Dilliard!

Congratulations Dorie Dillard Austin TX for completing three very wise and educational posts for the March to a Solution|ActiveRain March 2023 Challenge!

Going back to re-read the three stories you shared for the challenge, reminds me of a quote by Jean De La Bruyere: "Out of difficulties miracles grow." Something important to remember when faced with deeper problems than we anticipated, is to know, it isn't just a problem that needs to be solved, it is one of life's lessons: "Keep Digging... You'll find the root of the problem."

Dorie, in pondering your stories for this March 2023 Challenge, I would add for the benefit of all Members on ActiveRain, don't add to the problem--- solve the problem! If you don't, it can march you into trouble. 

In your first story, "Not  An Average Moving Day," you set the stage, we are dealing with people trying to achieve one of their most expensive investments and stress is bound to happen. It is only natural. Now we all know, we need to be prepared, and we can expect "some war stories in dealing with people during an emotional time of buying or selling a home." It happens. This is where emotional intelligence on our part helps by putting things into proper prospective while helping our clients the most. In addition, when clients know we are on their side, helping them cope with difficult situations, we are more likely to receive repeat business or referrals.

In sum, when working a transaction with people on both sides of the transaction, regardless of which side you are on, "It's a give and take" transaction. 

Kathleen Daniels, Probate & Trust Specialist and I present you, Dorie Dillard with two hands full of virtual gold for your participation and completion of three wonderful stories teaching life lessons.

Will Hamm - I am always ready for the seasons of my life. Spring is my favorite! 

I hope you have a chance to read Dorie Dillard Austin TX blog posts and will get busy on providing your own, which I know will be very interesting. 

My post is an overview of things I picked up from reading her three entries, all very different but with the same very important lessons about problem solving and preventing oneself  from marching into trouble. 

Thanks for your comment.

Kathleen Daniels, Probate & Trust Specialist - thank you for the honor of hosting this challenge. I was quite surprised and happy to do so. As a Team, I have enjoyed working with you on this March 2023 Challenge.

Generously passing out Gold Coins virtually was an inspiration I had waking up one morning. It was the first thing that came to my mind. Then I set out to write. I love to read and write and here on ActiveRain, you don't have to go much further for education, inspiration, and persuasion. 

Right now we have 57 amazing entries and hopefully a lot more. Wouldn't it be great if we had 100 before 3/31? With dedicated AR Bloggers, anything is possible!
