Monday Morning...a simple gift....Friends

Real Estate Broker/Owner with CELLing Realty CalBRE #01445865

August 25, 2008 07:22 AM

No matter what job we have, no matter how many social networks we belong to, it's all about relationships. Who are your friends? Who's on your Subscribed List...Do you even know most of these people? Today think of what makes a Friend....either online or off. Today let at least one of your Friends know you care. Life is too short to not let people know they are important.

Be My Friend and I'll be yours

Today....that might be all we have. So today I would like to Introduce someone that consistently contributes to Active Rain although I rarely see many comments on her Blog.

I have written her a few times, and she is just the sweetest person (unlike my outspoken personality..... LOL :) Anyway, please take a minute and go meet Caryn Webb. She is not only very sweet but also quite knowledgeable with web technology, and Marketing and this is taken right from her Profile "Your Personality is why clients choose you." Caryn is really special.

The next person I would like to Introduce has a fantastic sense of Humor (even though she hasn't sold my Ranchette in Sheldon, Missouri yet) is Cheryl Willis. When she became a member she opened up her own Group, right away, and the name of the Group will tell you a little about her personality. The Group is called: AR My Name is Cheryl .

Both of these ladies contribute to our community, and I thought you might like to increase your list of Friends :) :) Anyway...hope you check them out, and just say hi if you can.

Our Social Networking experiences are really enhanced when we actually remember it is really all about the Relationships.......So, enjoy your Week, and hopefully make a couple new Friends....

***and remember no one person is more important than the Group itself ***

Hi Kathy,

Thanks for sharing Cheryl and Caryn with us. That was so nice of you to share their work. You are so right about relationships being the key to everything. :)

You are truly a friend extraordinaire! I am so lucky to have met you on the rain.

What a surprise when I got the Google alert announcing your post.

The best compliment anyone on the rain can receive is to have you blog about him or her. How very wonderful that you took the time to say such nice things about me I’m blushing! Since your post my comments are growing.

I am so glad you find my tips and help worthwhile.

I would like to place a link to your blog on my website if you don’t mind.

Warmly Caryn

Kathy: This is a great post for the ThemThem group! I'm featuring it in the group because it is a shining example for all AR members to follow. When we pay it forward by "saluting" our AR friends who have touched our lives, we make the entire community stronger.

Also, thank you for making it a great day for Cynthia's daughter, too! :)

Hi Kathy, How are you? This was a very nice thing to do and if you don't mind, I might copy your idea to also highlight some new people that others should know about. Very nice and remember, in this case at least, imitation is the highest form of flattery. Nicely done.

Nannette- Gee...nice to know that i made the priority list :) :) just kidding...thanks for reading and being someone i love to read and laugh with :)

Deborah-Everything is better when we all work together .....including blogging here. it has been said over and over again about the relationships that have been made here. I know I have seen so many, and personally am lucky for the ones I've made.

Lynda- i hope you had time to meet them...;) You are so right, it has gotten so big here that I can't keep up either :) Hope all is well with you....tell Marlene I said hi.

Caryn-I have been impressed with you for awhile, and today just seemed to be the time to tell you and everyone else :) I hope that others can find some of the good things you have to offer, or even have a chance to talk with you about their Internet issues .......

Hi Jan-Thanks for helping others to see this so they can find either of these women. And funny you know/remember about the gift to Cynthia's daughter :)

William-Ahh we all have our own way of paying it foreword, or just sharing what we find. I have wanted to write about Caryn for awhile now, so today just seemed the right time. Copy away...after you go meet them :) :)

Cynthia- thanks for the vote of confidence...I don't know what their latest blogs are, but if you ever have questions on certain tech things, or those FREE Programs....ask CARYN...send her a mail. Nice person, and as I said Cheryl is a riot....but darn she STILL hasn't sold my Missouri Property (joking here) :) :)

Paddy- I have seen your name, maybe on Cheryl's Post? Enjoy......

Kathy,

Yes, it puts things in a different perspective. Take time, in time, while time lasts. For time is no time, when time has passed.

Smile and celebrate life,
