Do You Have an Office Angel?

By
Real Estate Agent WV0026375

Coldwell Banker Stuart and Watts in Lewisburg, West Virginia, does.  Her name is Bonnie Roberts.  She is very dedicated to her job, and not only works hard, but tries to please everyone in the office.  Bonnie is an extremely good person, with an extraordinary spirit.  Her positive attitude and wonderful outlook in life prevails, despite the difficult life she's had.  Without a doubt, she is someone who counts her blessings and shares them too.   Bonnie Roberts, Our Office Angel

While working 8 hours a day at Coldwell Banker Stuart and Watts, and cleaning the office on weekends, Bonnie is also raising her nephew, Davy.  Bonnie recently just received her B.A. in Education.  She hopes to get a teaching job next year, if not sooner.  We would hate to see her leave, but know her dream is to teach children.  She will be an excellent teacher because of her spirit, love for people, and sweet personality.  Like she's done with us, she will touch more lives and serve as an inspiration to young minds that will soon shape the future.

Recently, I hosted our Coldwell Banker Christmas Party.  It was a great time for socializing away from the office.  The managing broker, Tom Johnson, presented Bonnie with a Christmas card containing $550.  This gift was given to express our gratitude to Bonnie for all she does for our office.

As you can tell we all think Bonnie is a fantastic person.  Now, I would like to tell you about her true love.  And, that is writing.  She has written and self-published two books, and is working on her third book.  Her first book, "Bruises On the Heart", is a story about the cycle of violence passed down through three generations of one family in West Virginia. The story covers a period from 1946 to the early 1970's and chronicles the love and desperation that keeps a family together even though violence and fear intermingle daily with love and hope.

Bonnie's second book, "Homespun in the Appalachians", is a story about Bonnie's grandmother growing up in the western Virginia mountains and the challenge at the turn of the century when roads were still unpaved and the small towns were scattered about. The book describes her grandparents as being poor, but rich with love, and how that love would sustain her grandmother through the valleys that would lie right down the road or perhaps over the next mountain. 

You can buy or download the paperback books from www.lulu.com.

To Bonnie, our office angel, thanks again for everything you do for us.  Most of all, thanks for just being you.  We wish you all the success that life has to offer.

Rebecca great post. Tell Bonnie congratulations on the B.A. in education. My wife is a teacher and has a true passion for her profession. I believe Bonnie will have the same passion. I can only say that, the children she will teach will be very fortunate, it is hard to find teachers with great passion.

Rebecca, I just saw a piece on the History Channel about the people who live in the Western Virgina mountains, tough group of people. The piece was basically on how these people of Irish and Scottish decent settled there. When the British came in to take over during the Revolutionary War, the people in those small scattered towns came out in force, and kick the British Army's butt. 

I look forward to reading Bonnie's books.
