Last Week's Favorites on Active Rain: December 16th-22nd

By
Real Estate Agent with RLAH Real Estate AB95346

This week before Christmas has not exactly been a slow news week, nor has it been a slow blogging week.  Oh!  And the world didn't end on Friday - whew!  So here are my favorites:

Andrea Swiedler:  Anytown, USA is in Connecticut Right Now, a Tribute to Newtown, CT  Andrea personalizes a news story that shocked us all this week.

Bryant Tutas: What Does Lady Luck Have To Do With Success?   This is a nice end of the year post with a bit of great advice.

Lenn Harley: WORKING WITH CONSUMERS WHO HAVE UNREALISTIC EXPECTATIONS! When to cut bait.  This reminded me of Nancy Reagan's "Just say no!"

Carla Muss-Jacobs: Celebrating Christmas Carols at the Pittock Mansion  Now the Pittock Mansion sounds like a place I could live in.

Debbie Gartner: She found me online, but she recognized me   If you're using your high school yearbook picture, read this!

Tammie White:  Should Wide-Angle Photography Be a Code of Ethics Violation?  Whew!  Are they kidding?  Gimme a break!

Roger Mucci: The Christmas Closing.........  Well, I think we're going to see a lot of blogger poets over the next few days!

Karen Fiddler: The Grief Process  This was a beautiful, very personal post that struck a nerve with many of us this week.

Sally Cheeseman: Telemarketers Who Do NOT Understand the Word NO  These guys are really into overcoming objections, or at least trying.

Tni LeBlanc:  The Kings & Queens of the Dangling Carrot  You have to watch the video!  This woman is the queen of something.

So that's all for this week.  I'll be back, and in the meantime, have a really Merry Christmas and blog all about it!

Thanks so much the mention Pat!  The Pittock is great all year, the grounds, the history, but they do know how to Deck their Halls this time of year.  All my best for a wonderful Holiday Season and Merry Christmas to you and yours!
