Real Estate Agent with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Select Properties-St. Louis Missouri MO Salesperson#2004006871

Ann Hayden's rose at selectannFinally made it to 10,000 points on Active Rain.  This was the goal when I started blogging.  But it has turned into so much more.  I have been getting to know all of you helpful, intelligent people.  Information blooms here, like this rose. 

Technology is ever changing as is our industry.  You either change or get the heck out of the way.

Thank you for all your comments, support, advice, etc...  

Blog on in the Rain!

Margaret,

The next goal:  Keep on blogging!  I have found it is not as difficult as when I started.

Thanks for stopping by!

Michael,

I will be sure to keep you in mind for "OC" real estate referrals.  Thank you for offering your expertise. 

Yvette,

This is an awesome network!  The rose bush belongs to my daughter.  She has a green thumb. 

You have to enlighten me as to your signature.  It is so original.

Thanks and good luck to you too!

Ann

Ann:  One thing I might suggest for you is to join more groups... so you can have your posts listed on their blog list.  That is a good way to become better known... and a great way to expand your Active Rain referral sphere.  Go to my profile page, and take a look at the groups I belong to.  I would guess you might find some to your liking.

Rebecca and Kathy,

Thank you.  I think I am addicted...;-)

Lara,

This is such a wonderful community.  Thank you for stopping by.

Kathy,

The goal is to enjoy the journey and get to know a few more people.  Life is too short to only focus on points.  I was just excited about the fact I finally made it to my goal.

Later in the Rain,

Ann

Congrats, Ann - I am hoping to accomplish the same goal soon. However, I am finding it increasingly difficult to post meaningful content that I believe will benefit or otherwise be considerd an erstwhile contribution to the community.

Any ideas on how you plan to keep your content fresh and interesting?

Ann- The Journey is indeed the gift.......and as long as we know this then we can enjoy ourselves along the way.  If you need anyone to walk with you....they're here.  If you want to walk by yourself, that's possible too.  Anyway, hope you enjoy the next part of the journey, and glad for what you've give me, and others during this first part :)  Thanks......

Troy,

I wrote my first post in June.  I read a lot of posts and wrote 7 in July.  

I continue to read and comment on other people's posts.  Somehow, I reached my goal....It is addictive!

Donald,

Go to the group:  Blogging Etiquette 101.  It was very helpful.  Read other blogs and news.  it will help to trigger a post.

Hope this helps.

Kathy,

Thank you for the insight to the journey.  I think I am too social to "walk" alone.

Have a Marvelous Monday!

Have a great day!

Congratulations on reaching your first goal!  I'm just getting truly active with my blog, so I have a ways to go.  Like you, I'm more interested in keeping the quality than points.  But we have to have a way to gauge, so I'll keep counting for now.  :-)
