Thank You ActiveRain

Dorie Dillard Austin TX - I appreciate the comments and thankful for so much education, inspiration, and motivation. Heartfelt messages are the least I can give back to this community. 

Kathy Streib - Over the years I learned, no matter how many times I switched Brokerages (keeping the same Franchise) - different location, or trying one completely different with a different Broker, location, and Tech Support, or how many times I changed to a different Association to get my MLS, not one of them had the ability to make quick or complicated fixes that ActiveRain Member Support was able to resolve.

Here on ActiveRain, the circle of friends are diverse, interesting, and fun. I wouldn't be human if I didn't always agree, but I would never call the kettle black, even if I disagreed. Cyberville can be tricky and learning how to get along is the only professional way to go. I am especially grateful this social media/blogging platform was created to fill everyone's needs and not just a few. 

I couldn't breathe or be happy if Support quit and there was no one behind the scenes. Bloggers make choices, but Support is an active process that goes through shifts and changes too. I think sometimes we, the bloggers forget that, Support can be challenged too. The fact is, none of this would exist without Technology and understanding, knowledge, and expertise to get the results that bloggers need.   

Amen! Thank you, Laura Cerrano for your authenticity  and willingness to learn and accept people for who they are while still being grateful. 

Michael Jacobs - Understanding and dealing with change is what keeps us going. The beauty of the creation of ActiveRain has been the blending of work, life, and personal changes that gives us the freedom to share our thoughts with others. 

We must never forget technology is forever changing! AR has created an environment that fits for those who want to network with an array of people with different thoughts and ideas that mesh with our own or at the very least, continues to inspire and educate.

This virtual space has been successful and aligns well with others no matter which time zone they occupy. 

Dennis Neal - there has been some of the greatest contributions by bloggers on ActiveRain. Some members thought about giving up; however, they were talked out of it because of a positive impact someone on AR had on those who were skeptical. And people had growth opportunities too. Our words and actions can have positive consequences and many a blogger had no idea what they wrote or did made all the difference.  

Thank you, Dennis Neal 

Brian England - as a traveling man, you got to see people face-to-face and talk to them in person too. Isn't that amazing!

Kris Collis, Associate Broker - your comment is a good reminder that this platform gives each of us concepts to think about and opportunities to network beyond borders. When people remain open and responsive they can find a recipe for success. Here on ActiveRain, you're never alone.  

George Souto - thank. you for your loyalty to ActiveRain and for playing a huge role in participation and communication with all members, new and old. Acquiring a strong circle of friends over the years is a wonderful gift. 

Nick Vandekar, 610-203-4543 - There are so many good stories here on ActiveRain about our meeting of the minds! Meeting up with other members was such a treat!!!

Hello Ginger Harper - There sure is a lot of great information and learning experiences too! ActiveRain was a great idea! Many members have written stories from the heart, including life experiences. Through the achives are stories filled with complete enjoyment and satisfaction! AR has grown and we have too!

Liz and Bill Spear 

Bill, you have also played a significant role in ActiveRain. Thank you for giving so much time and respect to this community since it's humble beginnings. Also, your weekly tips are an important and valuable contribution. Over the years, we have seen and experienced many changes to the Real Estate Industry. The one constant and unquestionable value is the networking. 

You ended your comment with a beautiful thought to remember: "A lot of special people have made the journey worthwhile!" Those are words we all need to pierce into our hearts and remember, including a quote from Benjamin Franklin that seems to honor the owners, ActiveRain Member Support, and the Membership:

Be civil to all; sociable to many; familiar with few; friend to one; enemy to none ---Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790), American Scientist, publisher, diplomat. 

J.R. Schloemer - Having a network of friends from across ActiveRain is a very positive experience. And of course, your positive attitude is greatly appreciated. In business, so many things change and need to be replaced. I would be lost without this amazing platform and people like you. I liked your comment, especially: "I can say it has been a pleasant place to learn and assist others." 

Spread knowledge! Spread joy!

Debra Leisek - Connecting with you from Alaska has been a very positive and joyful experience. I think about the many opportunities and experiences when bloggers reached out to each other with a willingness to provide assistance, or just to check in with each other. Friendship really can be "long-lasting," cordial, and fun! I really am fortunate to have you here on ActiveRain and of course to see your beautiful Alaska and interesting houses, I would never see in Texas. Most important, I consider you "very special" too!

Thank you Patricia Feager  And we both love Full Moons!

Hi Katina Hargrove 352-551-0308 - if you go into your Archives, you can see when you first started blogging. It seems to me, for as long as we have been on ActiveRain, you have had a lot more business than I had. I hope things continue to go well for you. Tbis site has been a treasure trove of valuable information with great people too!

Patricia Feager 

You have always been so kind and supportive, you are very much appreciated🌷

ActiveRain Member Support  Wow, I did not realize it had been so long, thank you for finding it.

Patricia Feager I feel the same about glad we connected.  Maybe one of these days it can be face to face.  We drive cross country every few years.  And we're getting a new baby in California this summer we will have to go and meet.

Tammy Lankford, 

I always appreciated hearing from you. You're a great Broker and very family oriented too. Who would have guessed we would meet so many friends all because of ActiveRain! The AR Community is a family in itself! 

Changes in the Real Estate Industry is continuous and it is really nice to have this platform to connect with others. I am glad, we connected!

Tammy Lankford, 

It would be wonderful to meet face to face one day. I am so happy you're getting a new baby in California this summer! I wish you and your family love and happiness with this sweet new life coming into your lives!
