Every day there is something to learn here at ActiveRain.  With this series, I highlight posts that gave me that lightbulb moment. It could be something techie, a post about Real Estate or other professions, about a place, or a person. Or, it could be a post that made me sit up and take notice!

Good morning Kathy. Well, better than most Sundays since I read my share the first time around. Must say my exposure to more posts is enhanced between Carol's Saturday post and your Sunday post. It takes more than one to get maximum exposure to the amount of valuable information available on this platform. Enjoy your day.
