Activerain: A Feng Shui Consultant's Journey to 300,000 Points
If ANYONE had told me in October, 2006 that I would EVER reach this milestone (or still be on this site), I would have NEVER believed them. NEVER! This post should be dedicated to my friends but the group specifies it has to be about the JOURNEY....and what a Journey it has been!
Although I signed on at that time, having found a blog and going to the source to "check it out" I stumbled on JUST ANOTHER SITE. So I thought. I signed up and didn't think about it again for a few months. I had a big presentation for The Long Island Board of Realtors on both Feng Shui and Home Staging to present-and I put all my Energy into putting it together.
Coming back, I decided to just introduce myself; With something PROFOUND of course. I believe the title of my first post was "Hi All." Suffice to say it didn't go over very well. Neither did my next post about Home Staging and Feng Shui. I did get one comment from our very own Val Allocco who welcomed me to the site and lived nearby.
While Feng Shui is commonplace in New York, I didn't realize it wasn't even KNOWN elsewhere-or that there were some very serious misconceptions about it-AND the Consultants that practice it.
After posting for a while, I seriously considered getting off Activerain. I'd had no comments (although I DID have a few not very nice emails asking me to leave). I don't know why I persisted to be honest. Maybe just because I hate giving up---or maybe it was more. IF I could GET PEOPLE TO READ ME, MAYBE I COULD CLEAR UP SOME OF THOSE MISCONCEPTIONS.
I started posting to other groups-and started getting comments. I was stirring an interest with just a few people-and then a few more. When my posts got featured is when people noticed me-many wrote they didn't even KNOW a Feng Shui Consultant was on this site.
Business picked up--and up. But that isn't what keeps me here. As big as Activerain has gotten, we are FAMILY. Who help each other out and truly DO care about one another.
Through UPS and DOWNS I have received support, encouragement and help. And have sent lots of blessings and continue to do so to all those that have helped me along the way. Bless you all, each one of you is Precious to me.
There IS a Feng Shui Consultant on Activerain! My advice to anyone just starting out on here---it can begin as a lonely road but DON'T GIVE UP. Those who are meant to find you will. And remember some of my mother's favorite words:
"If you want to HAVE A FRIEND, YOU HAVE TO BE ONE."
Blessings to every SINGLE one of you who has helped me along the way....I would not be here if it weren't for you.
I thought I'd leave a few of my favorite posts during the last two years on ActiveRain.
