Welcome to my First Blog
Some friends of mine from the worlds of staging and real estate encouraged me to post on Active Rain. I've been staging for several years and like to think I am a decent writer, so I am uncertain about the source of my inhibition or why I demurred from blogging in the past.
Perhaps it is stage fright. I mean, HELLO! Never did I imagine I would run into a mob of stagers from across North America who are so talented, professional in their approach, and prolific all the same.
Active Rain. I am not sure how the name of this website originated, but it has a certain duality of fogginess/clarity that is genius. It signifies to me a sense of turning a negative (rain) into a positive (action), suggests a Native American dance to bring forth the abundance of rain... a healthy crop and reaping the harvest.
It also includes the word ACTIVE. Sometimes I sigh as I remind myself how tough the real estate market is these days. But then I must ask myself: Am I ACTIVE enough in reaching out to the staging and real estate communities? Am I ACTIVELY promoting my staging business on a daily basis? Probably not!
So it is here I will start my blogging journey. In keeping with the Blog Agog title, I promise to write a public journal related to staging with the humble desire to hold my readers in a state of eager anticipation, excitement, or interest! (Keeping my fingers crossed that my blog will not be renamed "Blogs AGag" by the humorists among you!)
I look forward to getting to know my fellow stagers, realtors and all who are interested in the Staging industry.
