Wow!

Wow!

Consider this somewhat of a Re Blog.  Maybe not so much Re Blog but more of an “Wow YOU guys ROCK!

Yesterday was Blog Action Day.  I was a participant and wrote a post.  The topic was Poverty and my post took on a more personal flavor.  Last night, I headed over to my Feed Reader to catch up on the world.

I read quite a few posts yesterday and was very impressed in how the Real Estate community embraced the project, but nothing impressed me as much as the collection of posts on AG.


Let’s start with “Fighting Poverty- Rocky Turner

I’ve been quietly following the efforts of Mothers Fighting For Others for quite some time now. This is a Full Time effort for Rocky.


Tom Vanderwell is someone I’ve known online. He’s a lender and a very smart one at that. Talk about an eye opening experience, check out his post “Going out on a limb


Ginger Wilcox - I’ve had the pleasure of dining with this excellent Agent. We’ve connected at various seminars and conventions. I had no idea she was so involved in caring for those less fortunate. Ginger, thank you for all you do!


Craig Barrett - another surprising individual!

Craig’s attack on Poverty is his Local Food Bank.

Being a Food Bank Volunteer myself - I say great job Craig!


Drew Meyers - One of Zillow’s big guys.
Drew’s passion? Microfinancing

Have you heard of it? It can change the world!


Gina Kay Landis - I could list the ways she’s involved but my laptop doesn’t have that much ink. Just go to the post and read it yourself.  I particularly liked the idea of helping with the marketing for non-profits.  Who better than a real estate agent.  They know marketing right?


Finally, a huge tip of the hat to Agent Genius, Benn and Lani, for collecting and putting together these great people!
Agent Genius - YOU ROCK!

Are you following me?

I cannot speak for Lani, but it's the folks within these articles that are the real heros.  We're truly inspired by the folks in our industry that go beyond for humanity- it was well worth giving our front page to such a fantastic group of individuals that support a wonderful cause.  Thanks Mike, once again, you yourself do so much to promote the profession and I know you get little thanks.

Aloha Mike,

Thanks for recommending these posts. Poverty starts in the mind and is a tool of the ego.

If you believe ownership and monetary wealth are illusions you have nothing to loose.

If you share and give of yourself nothing can be taken from you.

If you believe there is not enough in this world then that is what you will have, not enough.

Peace,

Thanks Mike for the mention and thank you for all YOU do in your community. Your blog action day post touched me and I thank you for sharing it. It was fantastic Lani put those posts together and gave all of our causes some excellent exposure and additional awareness through Agent Genius.
