How to Start a Mediation Practice - Part II - A Short Appreciation for My Fellow Bloggers
First, a huge round of Settle It Now applause for my fellow ADR Bloggers -- Diane Levin of the Online Guide to Mediation, Tammy Lenski of Mediator Tech, Dina Lynch of Mediation Mensch and the ADR Practice Builder, Kristina Haymes of Mediation Marketing Tips, and Geoff Sharp of Mediator blah blah.
These people are my mediation posse even though I've not met any one of them. They keep my spirits up when they start to flag, share their abundant resources, wisdom and strength with me, and hip me to new ways to market my practice, new case law, new mediation techniques, and new ways to express my mediation practice in the world. I genuinely don't know what I'd be doing without them.
If you blog, they will come. I don't have sufficient thank you's in my gratitude bag for these wonderful ADR professionals. Visit their sites often. If you take the blogging plunge, they will arrive at your front door like the townspeople of some mythical Elysian American 1950's farm community, with flowers, tips on dealing with the local merchants, casseroles and favorite recipes. Life doesn't get any better than that.
Part III of Building Your Mediation Practice next.

Vickie, your graciousness and generosity are to of the characteristics that first drew me to you and your work here and what keep me coming back. So it's especially heart-warming to be thanked by you. This world of building our practices and doing work we love is made fuller by so many of the special people in the ADR blogging circle...I'm grateful daily.
Warmly,
