Roots2RealEstate

If you know me personally, then you know I’m deeply compassionate about serving others.  An opportunity for me to step up my creative thought process and design something more than just promotional materials for my real estate business has arrived. 

Since the help of www.DomusConsulting.com , my eyes are now focused on something I have been looking for my whole life.  The ease of Social Web 2.0.

My two most favorite sites out there right now, both are free to use.

www.MeetUp.com

and

www.Freecycle.com

Wow, not just one but two web sites that help shake things up socially and economically.  Learn from others at MeetUp.com and gather everything you need from Freecycle.com these two sites can and will be benefical when doing any type of project.   

For example, I’ve been planning my son’s two year old B-Day Party, coming up Nov 17th.  I picked a theme, made my list of needs, and set out two months ago collecting items from Freecycle - so far I’ve only spent only $10. on the cost of materials building a make believe farm for the kids to play with.  So easy to do with some imagination and planning; I’m so looking forward to this day!

I also have been mapping out my 2008 Business Life goals - I’ll post for feedback in another blog.  Part of it, I’ve been really doing some soul-searching wanting to connect with others moms and make new girlfriends.  That’s when I discovered MeetUp.com

Now I’m the proud moderator of a group for some lovely ladies living nearby me.

For a casual gathering to bond and grow with.

“We all get busy, but never to busy to share”

Most events are at no cost, and include:

• A drop-in meet-up time with the kids playing, and moms discussing interesting topics they want to know more about.  Bring healthy snacks if you want to share.  Everyone is welcome. No cost, just bring a positive outlook. 

• On occasion there will be invited guest speakers and we may have some workshops and forums discussing hot topics that are on the minds of its members.

• A mini book club where each member shares about a book they just finished reading. 

• Have a “date night” co-op babysitting for parents that would like to participate (though not mandatory)

• Have a girls night out once a month (could be used for working on an art project together, getting pedicures together, or we could all go out and see a chick-flick or have lunch together – it will vary on what the majority of its members would like to do together.   

• Baby and I retreat for a day events – going to places of interest together, walking in the park together, an art day, the possibilities are endless!   

• Heat Some Feet - Sock Drive - Let’s come together with purpose.  Bring clean, unused socks for the homeless each time we meet, lso we may teach our children the value of giving selflessly. Socks to be donated around Dec 20th. 2007.  

• A Baby Gear Swap Meet.  Participates can sell off their unused items.  

 As for my Blossom Valley and Santa Teresa neighbors our door is open to you as well. 

Many of our outings will be at or near Almaden Lake Park.
