Journal Entry for 3/3/2026
There are many thoughts swirling in my head these days. A word that consistently pops up on ActiveRain is Networking. This month there are two AR Monthly Challenges. One is about remembrance; another is about uncharted places. Both challenges are about connecting and reconnecting through life stories.
Something I learned from ActiveRain is that it isn't just education that can boost your career - it's the people you meet, your colleagues in the real estate industry that often become the very fabric of your soul.
We might not all climb mountains, but a mountain of research and development shows, people need people. We learn from other people. The people who travel and discover other parts of the world bring back their stories and we remember those who shared life changing stories. There are also people who breathed life into building this platform and they were people we enjoyed communicating with on ActiveRain. Remembering them is a way to heal and keeping good memories alive.
Keeping memory alive continues the bonds we shared that make us stronger. The people that came into our lives at times we needed them most, often go unnoticed, until we stop, pause, and think about the value they gave so freely, without admission fees. They shared their time and wisdom.
Life is an unchartered challenge. We make a decision. Perhaps we planned a journey, and maybe, we took a leap of faith. Or just maybe we heard about quirky places with unusual names we would consider visiting or we did visit! Whether we do or we don't, if we have opportunities and we take them, it can be life changing. And then again, if we don't, we could regret missed opportunities.
When you share a story about someone who passed, you are performing an act of a form of resurrection. This is as close to magic, that I can think of. Sweet names, uncharted places, and beautiful people need to be resurrected in our minds and shared with others.
