Thank you ActiveRain for my first contract as a result of Blogging and also making a reconnect with a long lost friend!

For about two years my good friend Todd Clark has been urging me to blog blog blog on ActiveRain.  So I put a blog in here and a blog in there with (I admit) some half-hearted effort.  He kept telling me what a wonderful reward it is and what an excellent learning opportunity it is.  While I never doubted Todd for a moment it always seemed that I had "other" things that trumped blogging. 

Well, two years later the reality of Todd's claims has smacked me in the face because a wonderful girl who I lost contact with for three years just called me two days ago to tell me that she had some real estate needs and she thought of me.  She didn't have any of my contact information so she Googled me and low and behold, she found my Localism blogs and gave me a call.  I was so excited to hear her voice on my answering machine and so thrilled that she thought of me for her Real Estate transaction that I couldn't contain the butterflies in my stomach when I called her up!  Even though I may have lost contact with a few people I am confident that if they look me up they will see that I am active as a real estate professional by reading my blogs.  OK TODD, I GET IT!  ActiveRain is a necessary tool for my business success and another step in achieving my real estate goals!  Thank you ActiveRain for the business and thank you as well for the reconnection!
