The Friendship Ball....

By
Real Estate Agent with RE/MAX Select R.E.

I received this in my email, a few days ago, and have been trying to figure out what to do with it since.  I realized that I needed to pass it along, but couldn't figure out how.  I clicked on everything I could think of, but found no link to forward it, I searched for "forever friends" and found lots of folks who had received it and passed it along, but still I was stumped! 

Picture of Real Estate Agent: Anita Beach (RE/MAX Select Real Estate) So I emailed the person who sent it to me, Miss Anita Beach, who I might add is one of my dearest friends,  and asked what I was suppose to do.  LOL, I should have know... 

She has been trying her best to get me more involved on ActiveRain, and I guess the ball worked.  Cause here I am, blogging for the very first time!!!  Nice job Anita :)  :)  :)

So from what I was told, when you receive the "Forever Friends" frienship ball you need to pass it along to two others.  I have to say picking just two agents to pass this along to is difficult.  I have so many wonderful "agent" friends, it will be here to pick just two.  But I will search active rain and see who of my friends I can find, who the lucky two will be.  Here goes..

First off I thought of and searched for Carmen TomlinsonPicture of Real Estate Agent: Carmen Tomlinson (Re/Max Select Real Estate)  I consider Carmen one of my closest Real Estate Friends, and I hope she feels the same way about me.  Carmen entered real estate just a bit before me, so we have kind of grown up together in the business.  She is a wonderful agent and an inspiration to me.  I love when we meet for coffee and share thoughts.  I always leave with great ideas and feeling so uplifted. 

Secondly I will pick Larry LambPicture of Real Estate Agent: Larry  Lamb (John L Scott - kms)  I owe a big thank you to Larry and his wife for getting me started in this business.  Before I got into real estate, I was a school secretary and Larry's wife, Becky, worked with me.  I don't remember how the conversation came up, but somehow we started talking real estate and she told me she thought I would be GREAT and that I should talk to her husband about it.  So Larry, bless his heart, met me for coffee and let me pick his brain for a very long time :)  By the time we left Starbucks, my confidence in myself had grown by leaps and bounds and I was beginning to feel like I could make it in this business.  So Larry, thank you for taking the time to share with me and encourage me to make, what at the time, was a very large leap!

OK, whew...  I think I did.  My first blog entry.  So Larry and Carmen, here is the deal.  You need to cut and paste the friendship ball into your blog and pass it along to two others.  If can do this I know you can too :)

You are making us old timers look bad.  I should have thrown back my friendship ball two weeks ago!  Thanks for the inspiration.  I hope you enjoy playing in the rain.  Anita sent me!

Hi Geri,

Great First Post.  It would have been difficult to know that had Anita not told us you were new.  Welcome to the RAIN.  We are looking forward to hearing more.

Geri, that ball has been going around for some time.  I just got it yesterday and already passed it on, and that person has also already passed it on.  It's fun ... and it shows us how great a place AR is.  I've made some great friendships here.
Welcome to AR and happy blogging. :)
