I came to the party, hosted by active rain...everyone was there...I started to mingle...I met a lot of new people...I was inspired...the level of integrity, ethics, honesty was almost overwhelming...I came back again and again and then, finally I found myself to be a "guest speaker".  It amazed me that someone thought that what I had to say was worthy of being 'featured'...

When I saw the little gold star by the bottom of my blog, I thought how fitting...the name of my company is "Gold Star Realty, Inc"...that's not a plug...it's the truth and, that is what I thought!!!  When the fellow, George Tallabas (you must check out his site...he's awesome!),who referred me to Active Rain commented on my achievement, I was honestly surprised.  OK, some people say, don't go for the points...keep the content in first place, etc.  I sincerely and wholeheartedly agree!  However, after my experience, having that recognition has become addictive, motivating, inspirational, satisfying.  I'm new to the techno world but, over the past couple of months, I have learned more than some of my employees...who I hired because I didn't know what they know!!!  Interesting turn in my career...after 30+ years. 

What a wonderful venue to contribute to...  I look forward to 2009 with great respect; excitement and expectation...I can't wait 'til the next party at Active Rain!  By-the-way, it's today...this minute...anytime you want to come...you're all invited and, you'll all have a grand time....
