Offline and Online Friends - I need them all

By
Education & Training with BHG Real Estate

With the holidays here, there are lots of gatherings. I am getting to see lots of friends, neighbors, family that I don't get to see throughout the year. Its fun. Lots of fun. And . . . fattening. I can't stop eating all the good food, and catching up, laughing and having a thoroughly good time. And the holidays haven't even begun.

My neighbors even have a small gathering Christmas day. I just moved into my neighborhood and am thrilled that I have five amazing neighbors who have brought us into their festivities. I am looking forward to that.

But . . . I realized an amazing thing. I miss my online friends. I can't wait to get on line and share what has been going on with them, through my blogs, facebook, twitter. My online relationships, friendships are just as amazing as with those people who have been in my life a long time.

If I have made your acquaintance this year on line I hope I have added something to your year. Thank you to all of you who have shared resources, experiences and in some very special cases, serious advice to help me advance my business and make some serious business decisions.

Thank you.

And when the holiday season winds down and we get busy again with the day to day, I will remember this time fondly.

One last time, the quote I have ended my classes with in 2009. Look for a new one in the new year!

Life is too short to wake up with regrets. So love the people who treat you right.

Forget about those who don't. Believe everything happens for a reason.

If you get a chance take it. If it changes your life, let it.

Nobody said life would be easy, they just said it would be worth it.                      Unknown

It has been such a great pleasure to meet you this year, first via webinar, next via social media networks, and finally in person in Atlantic City.

I have had a really great time this year and people like you have really made it special. Look forward to seeing you next month in NYC. Maybe we'll get a chance to work, learn, and then party together!

 

Have a wonderful holiday season, Amy.

 

Regards,
