 "You are lucky enough to be different, never change." Taylor Swift Ok, I'm making a fearless move - finally publishing a novel. My dream. It's been there since I was a kid, and now, I'm taking the leap and going for it. What's your fearless move? Have you made one lately? Just last weekend I attended my - gulp - 25th college reunion in Nashville. Thus the inspiration to tap into my country music inspired, Taylor Swift quote above. Taylor's right: You are unique.

There is a wave of sadness, despair and fear crashing down on those directly involved in the industry: real estate agents, brokers, lenders and the like.And for good reason.
