homes for sale in green valley az: A Christmas Story--Journey of The Angels - 12/16/11 04:41 AM
I have always believed that dogs are furry angels because of their ability to touch our lives in ways we never could have anticipated.  In their soulful eyes is a divine love--pure and unconditional.  They possess the transcendent power to heal even the most wounded soul.  And, their undying faithfulness can transform our lives if we are willing to let them into our hearts.  
 How do I know?  Because of a tiny 2+ pound Golden Retriever that I rescued when he was just a few weeks old.  Not expected to survive he miraculously beat the odds, and during our six … (4 comments)

 Holiday Celebrations In Arizona
 
 
 
A cherished tradition that I shared with my family was bundling up in hats, gloves and coats and heading out to find our very own "perfect" Christmas Tree growing in the wild.  Of course those were the days when we were less conscious about our ecological footprint. 
Today things are done a bit differently to protect our natural resources but that doesn't mean you can't be one of the lucky ones to enjoy what for many of us, is a family tradition of harvesting your own Christmas Tree.  In Arizona you … (3 comments)

Hearing the news that Steve Jobs had died stopped me in my tracks.  Suddenly the world felt different and I can't help but wonder why the passing of someone I had never met would impact me so profoundly. 
Yes, there is a connection as it was Steve Job's organization that gave my son, Jeffrey Monday, his first job (and only to date as he is still working there) in the business world.  He was the youngest person they had ever hired (just shortly before he graduated from UC Irvine)  as a Sales Executive.  Today he has risen through the ranks … (4 comments)

This morning I could barely tear myself away from the TV long enough to hold the Open Houses I had scheduled.   Last night I crawled into bed hours later than I normally would as images of the rescues splashed across the screen and more importantly, were seared into my heart and soul.
They are a testament to the indomitable human spirit and a reminder that all things are possible when we believe.  Each time the aptly named Phoenix (spelled on the rescue capsule as fenix) rises to the earth's surface is a miracle beyond comprehension as men who had spent … (3 comments)

The term "aging in place" means living where you have lived for many years or living in a non-healthcare environment and and using products, services and conveniences that enable you stay in your home as circumstances change.   It is estimated that some 70% of seniors spend the rest of their life in the place where they celebrate their 65th birthday.
