<p>I launched this blog in May of 2008 in an effort to bring information to present and future clients that was the truest representation of what I could provide about the Orange County real estate market.   The constant drone of the Realtor community &#8211; &#8220;It&#8217;s a great time to buy&#8221; was making me feel a disconnect with my colleagues.  In early 2007, it was a tough market to sell a home and buying made sense for a handful of clients.  This became a place for me to share information about locations and internal markets within South Orange County specifically.</p>
<h2>In the Beginning</h2>
<p>When one launches a blog such as this, you go into it knowing that what you write initially falls on deaf ears.  I didn&#8217;t mind really.  I love the writing, I love the authenticity of it, and I love the platform.  Information about the vast changes in real estate to share with readers was easy to come by&#8230;.and over time readership grew.</p>
<h2>So What Happened?</h2>
<p>The last three months have posed challenges and sadly, I let the distractions get in the way of my beloved blog.  I admit that <a title="Agent Genius Post" href="http://agentgenius.com/g-rants-insanity-more/real-estate/i-abandoned-my-blog/" target="_blank">I abandoned my blog</a> as of late.  With a friend&#8217;s passing, an increase in very active buyers, and summer with my kids, I let it get the better of me.</p>
<p>When someone first starts a blog, the hardest part is starting.  It&#8217;s the momentum that keeps you engaged once it begins.  I have found that starting up again is just as hard.  But today is the day!</p>
<h2>So Welcome Back!</h2>
<p>For my readers (if you&#8217;re still there) and for those just coming on board, I&#8217;m back in the saddle again.  Back to the stuff that connected us before, back to the OC real estate voice.  Thanks for continuing to come back.</p>
