Get Well Joe…

This post is hard to write.

I’ve had the honor of knowing Joe Ferrara for a number of years, I ‘met’ him in typical Joe-Fashion…he came to my defense in the comments of some blog post I wrote that was the talk of another blog post or some such.  The details aren’t important, his actions were.

JoeFerrara_thumbFor those who don’t know Joe, he’s co-founder of Sellsius real estate blog, attorney, blogger, speaker and all around good human being.

Joe inspired me (and countless others) to speak, write and act.  He’s offered advice, encouragement and/or just an ear to listen, Joe is a giver while expecting nothing in return.  If you’ve met Joe for any longer than 5 minutes you know he’s a warm soul, someone you would be hard pressed to not smile about upon hearing his name.  I’ve met Joe in person maybe 10 times over the years…not enough for one to typically consider a ‘close’ friend…but Joe isn’t typical.

Today Joe is struggling for his life, and because of which I struggle for words.  My heart sank and stomach twisted when I heard the news, as if Joe was my best friend.

Get Well Joe…
