What an exciting weekend we have upon us. All of here at AR HQ's are decked out in blue in anticipation of the Seahawks game on Sunday. There's just something about a city's spark when one of their sports teams is making it happen. A sense of community and pride shine from windows, cars, conversations in line at the grocery store. Anybody who lives in one of the four cities playing this weekend knows what I'm talking about.
Want know what else I'm talking about? The fabulous Rainers of course! This week we have another set of superstars to highlight.
Inman Love
Francine Viola's post on staying afloat during a crisis made it onto Inman this week. So did Larry Lawfer's top ten reasons to get out of the business. Congrats you two!

What a wonderfully titled post, You Put the Litterbox Where?!? I admit it, Karen Feltman got me to click too. The title alone brought in the traffic. If you weren't one of the 2,800 that clicked and read the post I recommend you do, you'll be surprised where they put it.

How awesome is this, thanks for the update Kerrie, have a great weekend. Go Patriots.
I love your posts here as well as watching you on Facebook! Let it Rain!!!
Kerrie,
Very nice recap of this week's extra special AR members in the spotlight.
So, who are the Seahawks rooting to play against in The Super Bowl should they become NFC Champions? Make sure you don't take the GW bridge if you go to the game!
That was very nice of you to include me in your roundup today, Kerrie. And I must have missed Larry Lawfer's post when I was on vacation but I absolutely love its on-targetness.
Nice going to the AR members in the news. Thank you for the updates, Kerrie. Wishing you the best on your TEAM. Enjoy a fun weekend!
ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL...I am. I can't wait to watch both games. GO BRONCOS!!!
This has nothing to do with your post, but I will be rooting for the Seahawks and Broncos this weekend. :)
Go Hawks! The whole metro area from Everett to Olympia is clad in blue. Thx for the bucket full of ARain. It's amazing how much we can miss...
Great raindrops Kerrie, thanks for sharing these success stories!
Are you ready for some football (insert music)!! I sure am but I'm a bronco fan. Looking forward to a great weekend! Yeah!! And...awesome stories about all these rainers! Awesome!
WOW! Kerrie. What a Great Weekend for some Football! I will be cheering for the Seahaws and those Broncos. Thanks for updating us on all the nice things happening with others in the Inman News.
Kerrie,
A Yankee fan, and a Seahawks fan... It just doesn't get any further apart than that.

Thank you for sharing these great successess!
Hi Kerrie, thanks for taking the time each week to share these great success stories. It is inspiring!
Well if I had my way it would be Denver Broncos vs Your Seattle Seahawks in the Super Bowl.
Here to a great NFC and AFC Championship wkd
GO BRONCOS
You have my vote for the BRONCOS as well. Great job on bringing these folks to the limelight.
Now I am really excited.. I now live in NH - go Pats. I lived in San Francisco for over 25 year so Go 49ers.
Thank you for the mention this week! Go Seahawks!
Thanks for keeping us on top of what others are accomplishing. It give the rest of us hope!
Kerrie, I like all these droplets.....and the rain bucket, too!
(And will be meeting Mortgage Mama next week, hopefully - except that Baltimore Sun will not cover that....lol!)
Good evening, Kerrie. I am pulling for the Seahawks and Broncos. I think that both these games will be good.
Kerrie - These are really fun to read each week. Thx for starting this series.
Kerrie,
I have to tell everyone and let the cat outta the bag......you're simply the best, always responsive, poster of great blogs, tips and ideas. Hope you have the best weekend ever
Kerrie, great to see so many Rainers getting that extra pr thanks to blogging
While I like the Seattle Seahawks, I love the 49ers more. I fear you will hear me cheering all the way from Sacramento:-)
I do hope you have a GREAT weekend, Kerrie! And, may the best team win!
Kerrie - Thanks for sharing this week's good news for Rainer's making it happen or getting into the news.
Hello Kerrie ... VB has had some extra time on his hands so he has been featuring AR members posts to his many groups and really plugging away with stories & videos around Las Vegas Nevada through AR ... "It's working and creatin great spiders and exposure within the world wide web" ...
"Go SEAHAWKS"
VB ;o)
Nice! It's always cool to see Rainers getting recognition on a national basis. Thanks for sharing!
Kerrie I LOVED this post! Can you believe that I hadn't previously been following you?? What a gross oversight. Thank you for compiling these articles. I learned a lot from the writers.
This is getting to be wonderful exposure for Rainers that have done well and provides some inspiration for the rest of us.
Good Morning, Kerrie. As I glanced through Today's DailyDrop the word "Seahawks" jumped off my monitor. I'm down here in 49er country and will be attending 49er party tomorrow. There's lots of 9er's pride down here and we're mad the seahawks wouldn't sell any tickets to CA residents. But, I have a question for you; What is a seahawk, anyway? Can you eat them? Baked, broiled or roasted? (Just trying to tease you, Kerrie. I wish your team well. Not.)
I'm happy to see our local AR talent being featured nationally.
As Ed said, "Wonderful exposure ..... and inspiration." Thank you. I, too, have no idea why I haven't been following you. I am now .... :)
Well, since our Bolts have fallen out of grace and the Hawks are a West Coast team it's time to man up and change my jersey. Thank goodness the colors are at least close. Gooooooooooo.......................Hawks!!
Kerrie~ We are "united in Orange" here in the Denver area. Very excited about tomorrow's game!
Thanks for sharing all the excitement about our Rainers and Rainmakers!
Some good info there. I loved the Litterbox post from a few days ago!
Go 'Hawks! You'll be meeting the Pats in a couple of weeks.
Kerrie, You can be sure to hear the shouting all the way from the San Francisco Bay area for the 49ers! Here's to a great game!
sure, whie you are resplendant in your blue Seahawks jersies, I am left with a tear stained Saints jersey!!!! LOL
Active Rain is beecoming more popular as time goes on and people are starting what a great bunh of professionals there are on Active Rain around the country.
Red is my favorite color--49er red, that is. Here's to a great game tomorrow -- and a rousing cheers to our Active Rainers who are gaining some great exposure.
What a great game and although I am clear across the country, I will be rooting for them in the Superbowl!
My fiance still wore his Dolphin jersey all day yesterday. :(
So honored to be included in this great group! Appreciate the shout out!!
Mortgage Mama
What a great game. I love Sherman's comments at the end. Say it like it is, is refreshing and needed. The Seahawks have a swagger that a love. I will be cheering for them all the way to the Super Bowl.
Kerrie:
Congratulations to the Seahawks what a season. Hope you enjoy the weekend and the Super Bowl.
I have to say, folks in Denver are all for Denver beating Seahawks
