The other day I received a phone call from Margaret Rome. She had recently read and commented on a blog that I had written. She was basically calling to "put a face to the writer" and to tell me she liked one of my comments.
Now I have received calls from other Active Rainers before. There are a few I talk to regularly and some I email out of the Rain. But this call was different. This call made me feel happy and I didn't know why.
Now I am the type of person that has to "know" the whys and hows of everything. I had read her bio and blogs before and I told her so. I also told her that she was who I wanted to be like "when I grow up".
So I started stalking Margaret Rome.
What I found was that Margaret Rome takes time out of her incredibly busy life to "make connections". Not only that but, the people she connected with felt the same way I did about it. There may be more that did not write about it, but here are a few.

And a comment from Karen Villa Schweinfurth "Margaret is the prime example of thoughtfulness. She's constantly phoning people to acknowledge them! She's my mentor and when I grow up I'm going to be just like her." Which I had not read when I told Margaret Rome that same thing!
So Thankyou Margaret Rome for reaching out and connecting with me and others. It was a pleasure talking to you!
I promise to stop stalking you now:)
