Motivational Monday-It is about the elderly, too - 10/25/10 03:08 PM
Holidays are coming up, we, who actively spend time with our parents, grandparents is a blessing.  Some of the elderly are not as fortunate though.  We are always busy thinking of our kids, our better half, pets, it seems like more and more people forget about their elder parents or grandparents.  It hurts to see them spending the hoildays without their family around.
This is more like a reminder, and hope you will remember to check on your elderly family member/s.  They are just like the rest of us, they like to be remembered, share the fun and love during these special holidays.  If … (14 comments)

Motivational Monday-Did you find your identity? I am not talking about your driver's license - 10/18/10 11:45 AM
Did you ever thought about this question?  Or maybe you have been thinking a lot about it lately?
Who are you?  Are you where you want to be?  Have you found your identity yet?
It sounds like a deep question, isn't it?  But seriously, how many of us actually know who we are and doing what we are supposed to do?  Is this our calling?  Or there are better things for us out there that we didn't know about.
My two daughters were talking about this subject yesterday when we were enjoying our Sunday with Mother Nature Enjoy it while it … (15 comments)

That darn lunch plate makes me so sleepy this afternoon - 10/07/10 05:59 PM
 I am going to tell you that darn lunch I had this afternoon made me so sleepy afterwards.

I went to have lunch with my co-worker, and ordered a lunch special of the day, "Turkey and Dressing", doesn't it sound good?  I had to show some properties after the lunch, so I thought I was going to order something set and already fixed.  And I was starving, so it made sense to me to order something quick.
Lunch was good actually, it filled me up to the max though.
About 45 minutes after the lunch, I felt like a zombie, … (13 comments)

Are you willing to hang in there when things get tough on you? - 10/07/10 11:33 AM
I have 2 different sets of clients, party A and party B told me the same comment about me before, I just think it will be a good topic for a blog.

I just set a goal last night by putting it in writing I am going to make it to 200,000 points by the end of this year.  Base on my calculation, it should be a reachable goal.

With many uncertainties coming up in 2011, how are we going to know everything will be okay?  We won't.  We can only live a day at … (13 comments)

It is great news that your house is sold in today's market and economy.  I am happy for you, too!  Before you can get the check at closing or move on to your next plan, you have a few things to do as a seller.
