Speaking from the Heart

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with A-Z Atlanta Realty GARE#284610

Yesterday, I received an email from a fellow Active-Rainer and she gave me what I considered one of the nicest compliment I've ever received.  She told me that she enjoys reading my post because I speak from the heart.  I have been trying to find my voice here on Active Rain and often times as I write I am unsure of what to write.  Thanks to this other blogger I found my voice.

From day one I have considered this blogging thing a on-line diary.  Because this is an on-line diary I feel free to express my feelings and opinions and yes, they are just that my opinions.   Does it really matter if anyone comments?  No absolutely not, what matters is that I have expressed myself.   As human beings we all need a way to release and blogging is a great way to do that. 

I visit Active Rain on a daily basis to see what my friends are saying and find out the latest on industry, to get tips and advice, and to share anything that has touched me or anything that I want someone else to know.  I am very thankful for this community I think it's great that we have a place to show the kinder side of the real estate industry and as Sarah Cooper says that "we are real"! 

I want my clients to know that!  I can not pretend to be who I am not, nor will I try to!  This is how I interact with my clients and all that I come in contact with.  No pretense just me.

Ava, this is a lovely post.  What a great compliment to receive.  I, too, have found that ActiveRainers are, for the most part, a generous thoughtful bunch.  It doesn't take any more effort to be kind, does it?

Hi, Ava!  Thank you so much for the mention!  *Blush!*  I do appreciate when people are genuine (as you are) and kind (also you!) and I have found that for the most part, that's what I see here on AR.  I'm glad you're being true to yourself and telling the world about it -- hopefully you'll inspire a bunch of others!

Hello Sarah, I couldn't help but mention you.  You made me blush a couple of days ago :-).  I agree the people are at AR are friendly for the most part.  If I have inspired others that's great, I think it's important that we touch others through our voice.  It's amazing to see how many people are up late at night just surfing.  What you have to say might just be what someone needs to hear at that time.

Ava, this was a "heart" warming post!  I would agree that it does take time to find your "voice" and I would also add that your sense of self expression will probably change over time...as we all do.  Thanks for submitting this to Fraiche Aire.

Glad you enjoyed the post.  I am sure my self expression will change to some degree.  I believe change is growth, so I do expect some change.

Ava I could tell from your post that you are real, what you see is what you get.  That is the way I am .

I think you have found your voice and will be a great asset to the network.

Ava,

You are truly a blessing to this community as well as the body of christ. There are so many people that talk and really dont have anything in thier lives to show that Jesus is working (fruit) and in your writing we can very clearly hear the sincerity that makes yo who you are ... a child of nthe most high!

I am still trying to find my voice and what to do with it. What does this all mean. Does it work. What is my goal really. I love networking and the thing I love most about it is meeting new people , getting business is a by product for me. I know that is not a good way to think but its how I feel. Good post.

Personally I feel that you are thinking the right way.  I think if you do what you like the business will come, just be true to yourself!
