I think it was in 2007 that I began blogging on Active Rain...
So, for the past 3 years I have posted almost one thousand articles on my blog...!!!
When I started out blogging, my thoughts were that it would serve as a site upon which I could maintain a daily journal...After all, on many occasions and by many individuals whom I respect, JOURNALLING was highly valued and strongly advocated...for personal, business, and spiritual and physical health reasons...
And since I learned that a 'BLOG' is nothing more than a 'WEB LOG'...the marriage of a journal with a blog seemed to be made in heaven...!!!
For years my desire to maintain a personal journal had been stifled by an uneasiness with writing, a lack of determination to begin such a seemingly arduous task, and concerns that I could not or would not be capable of sustaining a journal in a timely and consistent manner...
The only hurdle I had to clear was the RISK of exposing my shortcomings for all to see (read)...!!!
I found that the medium of blogging, and the comfort that the ACTIVE RAIN website afforded, and the friendly and welcoming and encouraging extended by ACTIVE RAIN members and staff, made this last hurdle comfortable and pleasant...
My blogging consistency changes as my lifestyle and family and business demands require, but I still have managed to retain at least a decent GOOGLE page rank through it all...
So for anyone out there who is considering starting a blog, please be encouraged by this post to give it a shot...At ACTIVE RAIN you are not only among a host of qualified Real Estate Professionals, but many, many, friends...!!!
Have a great weekend...!!!
