My Legacy Online........

By
Home Stager with CL Design Services Home Staging

 

 

There is Magic that occurs with Sharing and with Unity!!  This is my attraction with Active Rain.

I was drawn to stageitforward  by my yearning to learn from the incredible Craig Schiller.  I read his, and many other posts, for almost one year.  I commented a few times on his and Kate Hart's post while being tutored by a local blogger, John Harper.  After much encouragement and completing a marketing class I made the big leap and posted my first article on February 22, 2008.

My goal in blogging is never to accumulate points.  I focus on Professionalism,Honesty and Positivity

My purpose is to stageitforward.  I always strive to Help a newbie stager if possible.  I freely share staging information as I am not a computer techie.

I also like to visit other AR Groups.  I have been helped and inspired by several bloggers.  Gary Woltal has encouraged and motivated me beyond my imagination.  Brad Andersohn sent me an email and helped me with my PlayList-what a nice man!!!  Yvonne Root gave me inspiration for an office demonstration, Tom Scanlon met me in Houston.  The list goes on and on.

 

In life we all need cheerleaders!!  Active Rain is full of them!!  I strive to be one on AR and to my precious family who I love so much.

My message to all my loved ones..........

Life is like a bicycle wheel.  If your wheel is not perfectly round, your life is pretty bumpy!  A well rounded wheel leads your path onto a joyful, peaceful life.

Finding the correct balance can be challenging, but keeping God, Family and Friends, Business and Volunteering as priorities in my life keeps my spirit renewed.

 

Lovingly,  Cathy Lee Waag

HI Carole!  I just was so timid with my computer skills-this is why I had a blog tutor.  John Harper was so great!!  Once I was active, the members of AR help like Brad, Maureen and many others.

HI Connie and Brad!  I hope to meet you both in person soon!

Hello Julia and Wanda!  Thanks for cheering me on!

......and here I thought you'd been doing this for years and years!   Your blogs are always so pleasant to read.  With each of your photographs I think: "This is what I want my stagings to look like"!

Although, most folks probably think of me as the Erma Bombeck (an obscure reference -at best) of SIF, sometimes I sincerely mean what I write.  This is one of those times!  Your presence on AR is deeply appreciated, and it's always a pleasure to see and read your blogs!

What a superb writer.  I may have to take lessons from you.   Lurking for a year!!!!!!!!!!! 

wow.   I'm glad that you are a contributor and comment often.

Being positive is a good thing.   Being willing to kick some as_ is another.  Sometimes we have to post what we really feel and not what others expect of us.

BE truthful at all times

Am I the only stager entering this writing contest???  Come on stagers!!!  There is still time to write your online legacy before the dealine!

HI Virginia!  Honesty is the best Policy!! It took many lessons and a lot of nerve to get confidence to blog.  My children are out of the house and my computer skills are zero!!  The help on AR has been tremendous-so many great articles and helpful people!!

Howdy Tom!!  I feel the same way about your posts.  I always look for the green house and know it will be a "moving experience"!!!  seriously!

HI Cheryl! I consider a visitor in my home a blessing.  When you visit my posts I am blessed!  So glad staging connected us.

Hi Wendy!  It is always a pleasure to help a new stager.  Much Happiness and Success to you!!!

I'll be over later today for my Monday morning tutoring session. I have yet to discover a one way street in life. Every relationship and interaction is multi-dimensional. We all learn and grow together.
