Here is my little grandson Cayden.  He is four months old and this will of course be a his first Halloween.  I found this adorable pumpkin costume and just had to get it.  Someday he will not be happy with me for this picture but I couldn't help it.
This little guy is so precious and brings tremendous joy to my life.  I am so thankful to be alive and to experience being a grandmother.  What fun it is to see these little ones grow and develop their personalities.

HALLOWEEN SAFETY ~ TAKE CARE!

Tomorrow is Halloween and that means lots of little trick or treaters will be hitting the streets.  Sadly, each year we hear of fatalities and accidents which can be avoided with some extra precautions.  Please take the time to adhere to some simple guidelines to ensure the safety of all.
Don't allow your children to wear all black.  If they insist on a black costume, place some reflective decals on the front and the back of the costume so they can be seen by car lights. Parents, go with your children during the trick or treating.  … (4 comments)

AN INTRODUCTION TO THE WOODLANDS, TEXAS - 10/30/11 10:54 PM
AN INTRODUCTION TO THE WOODLANDS, TEXAS

If you have never visited The Woodlands, Texas it is hard to comprehend how difficult and confusing driving through our community is.  The Woodlands is a premier master planned community with the purpose of preserving the beautiful forest that we live in while creating a place to live and work.
In order to achieve this balance of homes, businesses and trees, a great deal of planning had to take place before the first road was cut through.  The developers did a fantastic job of designing a community where our trees thrive and give us the … (3 comments)

MAYBE NEXT YEAR RANGERS!

It was a heart breaker when the Rangers lost the World Series the other night.  All is not lost though.  Just making it this far for any team is a huge accomplishment.  There is no shame in not winning the World Series.
Rangers, we are proud of you here in Texas.  There is always next year too.  The team obviously has tremendous talent and great experience in the play-offs and in the World Series.  This alone goes a long way.
This is one Texas Rangers fan who is mighty proud of our boys in blue.  You … (1 comments)

SUNDAY BLESSINGS ~ EVEN WHEN LIFE IS TOUGH

My Sunday blessings this week are to rejoice even when life is tough.  We all go through peaks and valleys in life and this week has been one tough one for me.  Through it all however, I cling to what I know is true and good and that is the hope that I have in my faith and my Savior.  I honestly don't know what people do who don't have a strong faith.
One of my favorite verses is tucked away in Deuteronomy 33:12 which reads,

As a real estate professional, when I receive a call from a new customer, there are some questions that I ask in order to better serve a potential client, discover the caller's situation, understand their motivation and to quite frankly protect myself.  We live in a world where not all is as it seems thereby making it very critical for an agent to spend some time of due diligence on the part of information gathering about a new customer.

IS THIS A JOB OR A CAREER FOR YOU?

No matter what our chosen path in life, it is often easy to fall into the trap of familiarity of what we do that we might miss out on the joy right under our noses.  Often we begin a career with passion and excitement only to find as time goes by that the joy has turned to drudgery.  At this point, the career becomes simply - a job.
So what is the difference between a job and a career?  Big differences for sure.  Here are a few of my observations between … (14 comments)

Because I am shown grace everyday, I must forgive when I am wronged or hurt.  This is freeing for me as I do not carry around the burden of the negative … (12 comments)
