We have scheduled this webinar to share with you a presentation that was planned for a lunch meeting at the Queens Harbour clubhouse @ $45. per person. So many of our staging fans, agents and future students are out of town or just plain busy, we decided to bring the meeting to you. We have staging fans on the west coast so the times scheduled should give everyone an opportunity to join us. This powerpoint presentation contains a selection of before and after pictures and is hot off the press. So grab a sandwich or a snack, pull up your favorite chair and see the latest news on this crazy, wonderful industry.
BTW-This home was staged during our September class.

FROM MY HEART
There is voice that speaks from deep inside our heart and sometimes directs us. I believe it is God. I recently felt compelled to make connections with two specific people. So I e-mailed and then called two acquaintances I had not seen or spoken to in quite some time. I explained that I had a "feeling" that I should call to encourage them.
One of them said that her husband had- just that week- left for a tour in Iraq. The other girl had just enlisted hospice to assist in the care of
her terminally-ill husband. Both of these women needed someone to reach out to them in a simple way.
Just a few days ago, my sister's dream led to a decision to reevaluate what may have been unnecessary surgery for a family member.
When I started this business, I had a strange experience that is too weird to be a coincidence that confirmed my decision. Read about it
in an old blogpost.
Why am I mentioning this not-so-professional topic, Divine guidance, in a business newsletter? Honestly, many of my contacts and colleagues are at a crossroad of some kind. Friends, we cannot separate our emotions from our decision-making process. If something does not feel right, all the facts in the world should not sway us. Trust that inner voice. Something in our heart-of-hearts will always lead us to the right path.
Happy Thoughts,
Becky Harmon
