Mangia Mi celebrated their One Year Anniversary! Chef Peter Cedolini thanked his customers for our continued love and support by opening tonight and serving us endless amounts of food and drinks!  Our only requirement to attend was to bring an unwrapped Toys for Tots for the Concord Marines.      

Peter was trained at the Italian Culinary Academy based in Parma Italy. He serves every meal and everyone with love and compassion-making everyone feel welcomed. His Nana's recipes are my favorites. I always seem to feel a little like family when I leave-how refreshing when most restaurants owners hire manangers who are not present.  Jenny True, his hostess/manager is truly charming, caring and engaging. They make quite a winning pair. It is no surprise the place was packed tonight!! We love you Peter and Jenny!!

Happy Holidays and Many More Celebriamo Years to Mangia Mi!! Truly, Cathy Lee

Our Five Keys to Success

Strategic Plan  Meet with a strategic planner who understands the Real Estate Industry.  Revise and set new goals each year. Fail to plan, plan to fail.

Dream Team   Building a good, solid team of exceptional vendors is a reflection of your business.  I found my team at weekly Realtor Marketing meetings.

Live to Give Find local and global organizations to give and share your time, talent and money with. I guarantee you will receive more than you give.

               The GreenHouse, City Team, The Food Bank, Pennie for Peace 

                                            Children of Grace

Mentor/Support Mentoring a new associate is very rewarding. It can be as simple as a meeting for coffee or lunch or setting up a regular monthly telephone call.

Continuing Education  Learning is never out to be a leader!  Take time to enroll in seminars and pertinent classes and find another professional to be accountable to.  If you are willing, great things are possible to you!

Success to you! Cathy Lee

There is Magic that occurs with Sharing and with Unity!!  This is my attraction with Active Rain.

I was drawn to stageitforward  by my yearning to learn from the incredible Craig Schiller.  I read his, and many other posts, for almost one year.  I commented a few times on his and Kate Hart's post while being tutored by a local blogger, John Harper.  After much encouragement and completing a marketing class I made the big leap and posted my first article on February 22, 2008.

My goal in blogging is never to accumulate points.  I focus on Professionalism,Honesty and Positivity. 

My purpose is to stageitforward.  I always strive to Help a newbie stager if possible.  I freely share staging information as I am not a computer techie.

I also like to visit other AR Groups.  I have been helped and inspired by several bloggers.  Gary Woltal has encouraged and motivated me beyond my imagination.  Brad Andersohn sent me an email and helped me with my PlayList-what a nice man!!!  Yvonne Root gave me inspiration for an office demonstration, Tom Scanlon met me in Houston.  The list goes on and on.

In life we all need cheerleaders!!  Active Rain is full of them!!  I strive to be one on AR and to my precious family who I love so much.

My message to all my loved ones..........

Life is like a bicycle wheel.  If your wheel is not perfectly round, your life is pretty bumpy!  A well rounded wheel leads your path onto a joyful, peaceful life.

Finding the correct balance can be challenging, but keeping God, Family and Friends, Business and Volunteering as priorities in my life keeps my spirit renewed.

Lovingly,  Cathy Lee Waag

A home office is a reflection of you and your work style.

Bookshelves can tell many things, what type of work you do,where you like to travel, what your hobbies are and books show many other things.  

First and foremost your bookshelves should be clean and organized.

If your bookshelves have only collectibles displayed, it looks as though something is missing.

Mix books with important pieces and you have added a wonderful decorative touch to your home.
