Guess What, I'm Still a Person!

Today, I was told by my Social Media Coach dotJenna that I needed to "share my feelings". So here I go.


I first want to start off by letting you know that I absolutely love what I do and the career I have chosen. However, at times, because I have chosen to be in the public eye in building a business as a Realtor®, some expect me not to have an opinion outside of real estate. For those that know me, you know I have an opinion. Many times over the last ten years I have chosen, for fear of loosing current or future business, to keep my opinions to myself about certain topics.


So what are the two biggest topics that are the most troubling to people, Politics and Religion (I've been told not to talk about either). Guess what, I am a Christian and don't care who knows it! I am also very conservative when it comes to politics and am tired of all of the blame game in Washington. Stop pointing the finger and do something.


I have personally seen an agent, along with her husband that owned another small business, very openly support a candidate and all but loose both businesses because of it. It is this very thing that keeps me from openly supporting candidates on the local, state or national level. It doesn't take very long in talking with me to know where I stand, but I'm not going to sport a bumper sticker or yard sign.


So, from a person that always has an opinion, keeping it to myself isn't always easy. Guess What, I'm Still a Person.
