Good morning, Dorie. Thank you so much for the mention. We are honored. How wonderful that your time aways from AR was spent in productivity. I am on a Coldwell Banker agent email list and have seen some very effective marketing pieces from her. I wonder if they are the same? Regardless, so pleased for you.  

Thank you very much, Dorie, for sharing some of your positive experience as a member of ActiveRain.

Hi Dorie,
I often say the Lord works in mysterious ways. Disruption IS sometimes a good thing to make us re-evaluate how we do things and spur us to do things we've been resisting, putting off, or haven't thought of before. As crazy as 2020 has been most of us can see the good that has come from it. 

There is definitely a lot to be thankful for on AR, that's for sure.  I'm constantly amazed at the founder's foresight in creating such a multi-dimensional platform. 

Hello Dorie - disruptions don't necessarily mean disasters.  They can lead to delightful diversions at times.  

Hello Dorie, This has been a different year and we needed to look out side the box.  I am glad that Ben is back to doing a good vision of the Rain again.

Hello Dorie Dillard CRS GRI ABR "Disruption" has been the theme in 2020 for certain.  Like you, I am delighted that Ben is committed to making improvements to this site. 

Hi Dorie- things do work out if we let them don't they? You put this disruptive time to good use rather than sit motionless or worse travel backwards. I love the improvements that Ben Kinney is committed to making. 

Dorie sometimes taking a break from things can be just what the doctor ordered.  Many times it gets the creative thinking going again.

Diruption seemed to have created a lot of new creativity for many of us Dorie!  Glad to hear things are going fabulous and better than before the disruption. All is well if we trust it will work out fine.

Great job Dorie Dillard CRS GRI ABR taking what folks saw as lemons and choosing to make a Summer Collins

I did kind of the same thing when AR crashed, I took a little break where I was not doing much at all.  The site not working very well sorted of dictated that anyways.  I also changed up what I was blogging about, hopefully, that will be for the better, haha.

Good morning Dorie Dillard CRS GRI ABR - thanks for mentioning me.  I am grateful to have you as part of my trusted advisors too.

Good morning! Disruption can be good when we use it to our advantage. Great job refocusing!

Good morning Dorie. Many declared a time-out while things were disrupted. I tried and failed many times to hold the line. Things are defintiely getting better. Enjoy your day!

I understand where you are coming from, but I have had about all of the disruption I can handle for now!

The disruption of AR this year finally got me off my butt and I started a personal blog and business website.  I thought it might actually make me less likely to participate here, but it turns out when the creative juices start flowing, you want to participate more. 

Dorie Dillard CRS GRI ABR  It also caused a disruption for me I could not post for many many months I started a Google business page and started doing more mailings . Then Zoom started and Ben Kinney started to a fix. Now I am back up and running. We are a wonderful family here- So glad Kathy Streib  lit this up as I missed it 

Hi Dorie:

Sounds like you made excellent, and productive, use of your time away from AR!

I really enjoyed what you had to say about AR and how you, and your clients, have benefitted!

Jeff

I love this post and am honored to be among those you mentioned as helpful to your business, Dorie! I did exactly the same thing and finally jumped back in with writing posts again. I will say that it gave me time to do some website cleaning up and to also do some things around the house that I needed to do. 

Like you, I'm all about the personal touches and this year, it's been so important to let our sphere know we are here for them - both professionally and personally. 

Excellent post, Dorie! See you on Tuesday!

Hi Dorie Dillard CRS GRI ABR - What a wonderful post.  Disruption can bring better things. Listing Concierge has been a real blessing for marketing.  I too reached out to past clients and found great benefits from doing so. 

Congrats on the feature by Carol this week.  Well deserved!

AR  is all of this and more!  Nice compliments on our community
