inspiration: Just Some Words of Inspiration for the Day - 11/06/09 08:57 AM
I found this on the counter at work the other day. It was simply typed on a plain sheet of paper; no author was noted. Just thought I'd pass it on.
People are often unreasonable, irrational, and self-centered. Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, … (14 comments)

inspiration: Peel Back the Layers, and It Seems Like We Really Are All the Same - 10/26/09 08:10 PM
I don't know if it's because I'm getting older and it's finally sinking in, but I've been discovering lately that when you start to peel back the layers of someone, you will likely discover they are pretty much the same as you.

inspiration: Pointing Fingers - 09/14/09 08:38 PM
I don't think anyone out there who has ever been involved in a real estate transaction, whether it be as the buyer, the seller, the sales agent, the loan officer, the inspector or any other party, would disagree that emotions can run high.

inspiration: OK, Seriously...What Are You Waiting For?? - 09/12/09 09:25 PM
I heard it again today in a conversation I was having -- the importance of taking time to "stop and smell the roses." Slow down. Take a break. Relax.
And yet, I rarely see the behavior patterns of those around me change. It's just rush, rush, rush.
I've heard it … (2 comments)

inspiration: That "Law of Attraction" Stuff Really Works! - 07/10/09 10:30 AM
OK...I'm the first to admit that I was always a skeptic when it came to "buying into" the idea that our thoughts become things, that we create our lives through our thoughts, "ask and ye shall receive."
But several months ago, things started to fall apart and I had finally … (11 comments)

inspiration: Never Ever, Ever Judge a Book By Its Cover - 04/15/09 12:26 PM
How often do we judge something or someone based on outside appearances only? I'm guilty of it. Hate to admit that, but it's true.
There's a video that's making its way around the internet these days, and I thought I'd share it with all of you. It's of Susan Boyle, who … (9 comments)

I just received this in an email from a friend and thought I'd pass it on. Some food for thought.
