"Sometimes you deserve a second chance, not because you weren't fabulous the first time but because the timing and circumstances weren't quite right. You just got overlooked."
-Carol Williams   

Does getting Featured here in The Rain sometimes feel like a roll of the dice? Not anymore. I'm always open to member suggestions on posts that should be Featured but somehow got missed. 

Giving deserving posts more exposure is what Second Chance Saturday is all about.  As you read blog posts during the week, be sure to TAG ME in the comment section of any post you wish to nominate as Feature-worthy.  Then watch for it in the next edition of Second Chance Saturday.

Hello Carol - not only do circumstances, other situations and a certain degree of serendipity prompt a visit by the feature fairy, sometimes those factors make finding posts a bit difficult so your weekly SCS Second Chance Saturday post sheds some additional attention to posts one might miss.  Especially as the blog roll rapidly rolls along.

Your first post catches my eye and I sure wish the bar for expectations would be raised.  It seems to me that the bar is always being lowered for expectations and that is not how it should be.  On another note, did you watch any of the PGA Professionals Championship?  My friend Marty was in the top 20 most of the tournament but had a disastrous 4th round back-nine and missed qualifying for the PGA Championship by one stroke, ugh.

Hi Carol! First of all, PLEASE enjoy your travels - and golfing! We KNOW you read our comments and please don't feel obligated to respond. 

Secondly, I'm in total agreement with Debb Janes EcoBroker and Bernie Stea JD (LOVE being able to tag!!) - love the theme and know that social media IS important! I recently read a post from someone who felt that it wasn't - and they try to help real estate agents with marketing! I thought, in this day and time, if I didn't see a social media presence from someone who was vying for my business, I would NOT hire them! Some people need to just get over themselves! LOL
