myrtle beach homes by mirela monte: Are you a good bitch or a bad bitch? - 12/18/08 12:32 AM
I didn't write this; Mary did. 
 
I just re-discovered Mary's McKnight blog.  I've been subscribed to her blog for over a year, but have not visited it in a while.  I was going over AR statistics and noticed that she is the ninth most popular blogger on AR. 
 
She has changed her look and dipped her message in sensationalism and her blogs are now even more delicious than before, and they were darn good then.

myrtle beach homes by mirela monte: Say That in Arabic! ...Or French, or Italian... - 12/16/08 08:33 PM
  In Europe it is not unusual for a person to speak three or four languages.  English being the global lingua franca, our shared language of science, politics and commerce, we have been blessed with a universal communication carte blanche of sorts...   When I travel overseas, or when I represent foreign clients, I try to learn a bit of their language as a sign of respect for their culture.   I work hard to imitate the accent to the best of my ability.   Even when my language skills are atrocious, people still appreciate my efforts, and as feeble as my attempts … (16 comments)

myrtle beach homes by mirela monte: What If? - 12/14/08 12:01 AM
  If someone asked you:  "What are the two most powerful words in the English language", what would you say?   WHAT IF?   In my opinion, these are the two most powerful words.   Time and time again, we get caught up in our lives, and forget to dream and ask "What if?"   Life is meant to be lived.   If we open our minds to the possibilities, we can see past our limitations.  These two words help get us there.   What if I could stop starvation?   What if I was the president?   What if I … (21 comments)

myrtle beach homes by mirela monte: Wordless Saturday - 12/05/08 11:11 PM
  This was at her father's wedding.  She was giving him away.  Both parents had their children give them away.  The wedding was on a yacht and the person officiating was the groom's mother.  The only guests were close family members and the only color was white.  I had the privilege of being the wedding photographer, because they had seen my pictures and liked my style.  I was their Realtor in real life, photographer only for the day.  This is the best that I could do with this wordless thing...

myrtle beach homes by mirela monte: Put Away Your Credit Cards and Give Something of Value This Christmas! - 12/02/08 12:46 AM
What is the spirit of Christmas?  It's in GIVING isn't it?    While we have been so adept at giving so much of the useless, we have become stingier and stingier with the important stuff:  our time, our efforts, our involvement.   Who needs another sweater?  Who needs another trinket?  Why not do something special and new this year?  Why not really put some thought into this year's Christmas gift giving?    I know that while my 95 year old grandmother appreciates any material gift I give her, she would trade it all in for another day spent with me.  Taking … (35 comments)

myrtle beach homes by mirela monte: JEALOUSY - 11/23/08 08:25 AM


I finally experienced jealousy.  Not the typical kind, mind you, but the kind of jealousy that makes me stand up and cheer and applaud with joy.  "If she can do it, so can I" type of jealousy. 
  
What do I covet that somebody else has?  No, it's not a bigger home or a fancier car, or a bigger rock.  No!  It is a yoga instructor certification. 
  
My ex-husband's girlfriend, who used to be pleasantly plump when I first met her three years ago, has been on an amazing yoga journey for the past couple of years and … (30 comments)

My client asked me how I was doing today.  "Great!", I answered.  "Wow, you are the only one who's doing great nowadays", he responded.   "I am healthy, my kids are healthy, I love my work, I have a roof over my head and food in my belly.  Why shouldn't I be doing great", I asked.   "When you put it that way, I guess I'm doing pretty well too" he quickly answered.   I have no idea why people FIND things to complain about:  politics, the economy, the weather.  Why not find GOOD things to be grateful for?  … (25 comments)

myrtle beach homes by mirela monte: This is an Excellent Market for the Move-up Buyer - 10/30/08 09:10 PM
The move up buyer is well served by this market. Here is my explanation: If the prices are down 20% and your client is selling a $100,000 home and buying a $300,000 home, your buyer would be well advised to sell NOW.  Here is why: That $100,000 home at 20% off is $80,000.  The client loses $20,000. That $300,000 home at 20% off is $240,000.  The client MAKES $60,000 The $60,000 that he makes by buying in this market minus the $20,000 that he loses by selling in this market is $40,000.  Your client is now $40,000 richer by selling and buying in this market.  … (5 comments)

Charles Stone, who conceived the original Whassup Budweiser commercials, has just released a follow up "Whassup" video as an endorsement for Obama.  The video has already garnered over two million views on YouTube since it was posted last Friday and the Wall Street Journal wrote a lengthy article about it.   Although I endorse both Politics and Religion, I don't advocate any dogma, nor any candidate.  Both are highly personal issues and I will not discuss, nor endorse my own choices publicly.  The only wholehearted endorsement I will make is to urge all of you to vote.   Please post links … (8 comments)
