We've all had times in our lives where things weren't the best. Some people have relationship problems, some have financial, work, children, or health problems.....we all have had problems, no one is exempt. But what happens when we lose control, and allow our "issues" to overcome us?

motivation: Monday Morning ...a morning of anticipation - 07/28/08 10:59 AM
Good Morning everyone. Hope everyone enjoyed the week-end, and if not hope you at least were productive :) I'm not sure that Mondays mean the same to a Real Estate Agent as they do to an Escrow or Title person, or some Lenders....see Agents don't all get week-ends off, so Mondays … (30 comments)

motivation: Tuesday Truths......Why the #1 can be the Loneliest Number in Real Estate - 07/08/08 01:02 PM
"People, people who need people are the luckiest people in the world"......these are words I remember from Barbara Streisand appropriately named "People." So, if we need people, and Real Estate is a People Business, then why do we work alone?

motivation: My 200th Post........Trials of Changing Internet Browsers to Firefox - 07/04/08 02:08 PM
Some days I just feel old, but thankfully most days I have a lot of energy, and am willing to learn new things. Trying them, on the other hand takes a lot of trust, and knowing that there is a learning curve, which of course for me means frustration, causes indecision. … (47 comments)

motivation: Tuesday Truths.....Accomplishments don't have to be Tangible - 06/24/08 12:12 PM
Time, something most of us seem to value and many of us put a high price on. We charge our clients, and others charge us....whether anything is or was accomplished.

motivation: Blogging Buddy kills 125........What!!! Turn it up Joe - 06/05/08 06:12 AM
Killing 125, why is it that we turn up the TV to hear this type of news or click on the links to read about it online? Why is it that we want to know about this awful occurence, even though it's not necessarily relatable. What happened? Who did it, and where was it? Our emotions … (43 comments)

motivation: What makes a Hypocrite....and am I one? - 05/28/08 09:39 PM
I am sitting here thinking as I often do after work, and watching the news. Then it hit me, am I a hypocrite? I was thinking of all the Non-Profit Organizations that survive by donations, and thinking of how I used to wish more people actually knew what was going on … (27 comments)

motivation: Follow your Dreams...........wherever they might lead you :) - 05/24/08 09:58 AM
Life and the journey, it has taken me in so many directions. Children used to be asked all the time what they wanted to be when they "grew up" and the typical Policeman, Fireman, Astronaut, Nurse,Teacher, Doctor, and Airline Stewartess were the popular professions back in the late 50's early 60's.

motivation: Get out of your comfort zone and learn something....Blogs 101 - 05/03/08 09:47 AM
Who wants to leave their comfort zone and purposely try something that might not bring them any pleasure? I know I don't, but I know I need to. There' a big difference between want and need. We do what we're comfortable doing including reading on Active Rain.
A little over a week … (30 comments)

The other day I commented on a Beautiful Post by Ginger Wilcox and as all good Bloggers do Ginger commented back.

motivation: Blogging Expectations - 08/05/07 01:49 PM
When you write a Post to your Blog what are your expectations? A Post takes time to write, time to edit for spelling and grammar errors, maybe find an appropriate photo or other graphic, and hopefully the content is either entertaining, educational, or inspirational, or possibly all of these.
