Success in the Spooky Rain - 10/28/11 02:39 PM
The Friday before Halloween weekend and it's scary how much success is happening out there in AR land.  It is spooky how referrals roll in and out of this place.  You may think it's eerily quiet and then BAM...your phone is ringing with a new lead.  Don't be afraid to frighten yourself out of your comfort zone.  The magic Google potion will be yours should you choose to drink it! 
Check out our cats, witches, and whatever the heck the others are and read their stories below.  I think you'll walk away with more than a treat!

Who's Going to NAR? - 10/27/11 04:58 PM
I'm super excited to be attending this year's NAR event in Anaheim.  Last year we had a blast in New Orleans so I'm hoping for a repeat. 
If anyone is on the fence about attending...GO!  I want to see you there!
Anthony, Nick and I will be in sunny California for the whole event.  Goodbye gray Seattle, hello Vitamin D!
Hope to see you there!

I took this pic earlier this year when we visited SF.  Going again this weekend and hoping to catch the spooky Alcatraz tour....seems appropriate for this time of year.  Anyone done it?

Success in the Rain, Let it Rain Baby! - 10/21/11 04:45 PM
"What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us" ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
So what lies inside you?  What are you capable of?  Do you have that restless feeling inside of knowing you're capable of doing more?  As we all know, life it short...too damn short.  Do not waste another day.  Use the strength and fire inside you to accomplish more today!
These beautiful blondes below have had serious success by lighting that fire within!  And they probably had more fun doing so! ;)

My nephew, Alex, was baptised this past Sunday.  Here's a picture of him just after.  He's such a good boy, didn't cry or fuss once!!!

Success Time, Let's Do This! - 10/14/11 04:08 PM
Get 'em while they're hot!  It's Friday afternoon and the success stories are fresh off the presses. 
Are you planning on winning big on your next scratch ticket?  How about that one lucky pull on a slot machine in Vegas?  If you're head is back on this planet you'll know you need a realistic approach to your success.  How about...hmmmm...blogging?  Yes, that's the ticket!  And when you're doing it, be yourself!!!  I can't stress enough to just write how you would if we were to have a conversation.  Don't worry if someone "won't get it"...they will! 
We love seeing your personalities … (30 comments)

Thank You Pandora! - 10/06/11 03:56 PM
I was happy to receive the following email from Pandora today.

Before today, you were allowed only 40 hours of listening pleasure.  If you wanted to pay $0.99 you could keep listening for the rest of the month.  No longer is there a cap, thanks Pandora! 
We all need a little music throughout the day and Pandora does a great job of supplying that for us here at HQs.  Devin really likes it when I put the Jewel station on.  He sits up a little taller and I can see him mouthing the words silently....ha...not!  Kelly likes the Janet Jackson … (17 comments)

From the Brooklyn Bridge to the Eiffel Tower - 10/04/11 04:01 PM
I'm sad to report I did not win $777K like I had in my dream leading up to my trip but I had a blast.  It was mid to high 90's each day and felt so good!  Seattle has taken a turn for the cold as of late....had to actually turn my heat on last night.
Highlights:
Love at the Mirage, the Cirque show.  From beginning to end it was amazing.  The Beatles rock my soul and to have a crazy stimulating show played out to their tunes was above perfect.  All you need is love baby! Dinner at Olives at … (27 comments)
