So, I have been a rainer (actively) for about a month. I never really believed that I would get any leads. Frankly, I joined to increase my search ratings. Then, one day, I read Jeff Turner's blogs and realized how selfish I was!

Since joining, I have realized many benefits of raining that I hadn't even thought of. I have benefited immensely from the knowledge gained by reading other people's posts and comments. I have made new connections all across the country. And, as of yesterday, not only did I get my first lead, but I also had an old friend find me! A former colleague that I hadn't spoken to in years suddenly left a message on my cell. He found me on AR.

I just wanted to offer some inspiration, especially to new rainers like myself, and to remind everyone that AR is much more than it seems. Don't be fooled by her lovely exterior, she goes way beyond good looks!

Cheers, and please LEAVE A STORY IF YOU HAVE ONE!
