This is a Re-Blog so to speak to provide additional awareness and promote blogger rights.

The Blog in reference is from Tina Merrit's Blog "A Sad Story of A Wonderful Blogger"

Naoma is actually a real good friend of mine who I met when I first started in the Mortgage Industry.  We both pretty much started our Loan Officer careers together and kept a good relationship in the office and outside aswell.

Its no surpise that this story has hit hard with me witnessing Naoma's past success from blogging and her passion in blogging even while pregnant!

Naoma was even the one who invited me to blog on Activerain.  It truly saddens me to see her ambition, passion and devotion in blogging being stripped away and placed on mute while she works for her current employer.

This however is all too common nowadays.  Since Blogging is a free-form type of advertising and expressing of ones opinions in a rapid  and uncensored way many major companies are afraid that certain individuals may portray a bad rep on-line.

Now I could easily gripe about how Corporate America is so unfair and how wrong this situation is but

I choose to take a different approach.......

My approach on this subject is realizing how powerful blogging can be and how fortunate for the ones who haven't been muted.

We bloggers need to cherich what we have and realize that we have a powerful voice and opinion that we can share with the world.  You don't realize how good you got it until it's gone.

I am sure Naoma will be back into blogging in the future with either her current company removing those rules or joining a different company all together.

The point is that companies will try to control your online voice but they will never take away our right to voice our opinion.  We have the tools and knowledge at our very fingertips especially here on Activerain and now more than ever is the time to take advantage of our blogging platform. 

Don't let your blogs sit idle or ideas go unheard, appreciate what we have before its too late and you might find yourself muted too by Corporate America...

"Happy Blogging"
