networking: Gotta Love the Activerain Referral Network! - 01/10/12 11:34 AM
This is a fine post written by Margaret Woda on the ActiveRain referral network. Many of us, without realizing it have created our own network of individuals we would refer to with no hesitation.
By going to the Referral Network section, which is accessed from the left column of our home page, we can see system leads by state, county, and city that are there to be satisfied.
The system leader board allows us to source an agent again by state, county and city.
Referrals are the best type of lead, get into the system and make it work for you.

Christmas is an important day for so many reasons.
It is the celebrated anniversary of the birth of the Christ child.
It represents a time of good fellowship and the delivery of presents to children by St. Nick, better known as Santa Claus.
It also is a time of great joy for parents of little ones, and grandparents as well, for the expressions of joy in little eyes with the new toys they receive.

Today was our annual Christmas Luncheon for friends and family. Altogether there were maybe 40 people and also one very special visitor as well.
This tradition started about 10 years ago. There just weren't enough days to go around and visit all of the family, so we decided to hold it on the weekend before Christmas and have everyone come over.

There are 11 shopping days until Christmas. For some that's enough time, for others still no need to be alarmed, and for the people we all love to hate, they had their Christmas shopping done before Labor day.
If you haven't even thought about it yet, good luck.

When times were simpler, shopping for Christmas gifts had more meaning and was much less stressful. There was no concern for trying to match the gift that we suspected we were getting, it was just buy something that you knew was needed and would be appreciated.
People get far too wrapped up in bigger, probably driven by the commercialism created by merchants looking to get every buck they can pout of frustrated shoppers.
