Actively Raining Thoughts-Room Service Home Staging

Want to have some FUN with your Photos?  Take a look at this site.

There are two things I know about myself:

1. I never met a gadget I didn't like.

2. I get bored easily and love changing things around.

So, I wanted to share this PHOTO CHANCES LAB  with you.  One day when you're just playing around and want to "fiddle" with some photos you have, give it a try.  There's a FREE TRIAL and a Single User License for $39.95. 

Take a look:

You probably won't use this for your listings but you could use them to enhance your blogs or just for fun.  I haven't even tried all of the different effects and don't know if I'll go beyond the free trial but at least I'm not bored anymore!!!

If you like Jigsaw Puzzles you can check out another of their sites: Brainsbreaker.com.  With this, you can create puzzles using your own photos or ones you download from the web.  The puzzles are stored on your computer so you can play them whenever you want.  No loose puzzle pieces around; no "cluttering" the dining room table. 

I'd love to see some of your fun creations!!

As I say a very heartfelt THANK YOU to all Veterans who have or are serving, I ask myself: Could I do it? 

This morning I posted in the Wordless Wednesday group but felt that was not enough.  I still had a question.

Would I be able to give up my creature comforts and go to who knows where?   Could I watch as my friends, peers and family members went on with their lives. . . finishing their education; beginning their careers; starting their families?  Would I be able to take orders and follow through, no matter what?

Would I have been able to go forward, knowing that my next step might be the wrong one?  Would I be willing to give up my life to protect my country, my family; my peers?  Could I "press on"  knowing that the odds were not in my favor?

Could I do it?

When we lived in Northern Virginia and visited every Civil War battlefield in the region,  Our country's forefathers were heading into battle against fellow countrymen, former friends, and sometimes their own family members. I would stand there asking myself the same question: 

Could I do it?

On September 11, 2001 our country was put to the test.  Many stepped up to the plate and continue to do so.  Young men and women enlisted, answering the call to protect and serve their country. 

Would I have done it?

I ask myself this often.  I also look out at the generations behind me. .. Generation X and the Millennials or EchoBoomers.  Could they do it? 

More importantly, will they be able to do it??  So as you thank those who have served, dig down deep and ask yourself:

Could I do it?

Last week my new client told me she'd decided to call me because of what I'd said on my website.  Smiling, I said, "And what was that?"

(Now in all honesty, as she said that, part of my brain was scrambling to try to remember what great marketing phrase or slogan I'd used.  Would I be able to live up to what she said my website claimed?   Think, I told myself.  What could I have possibly said on my website that made her decide to Stage her home?)
