One Coast to the Other ~ I found A Winter Wonderland had arrived - 10/29/11 11:43 PM
Wow ~ was all I could think of today, after flying one coast to the other, to leave again.
I came from California where the weather was awesome, back to Florida where there was flash flood warnings to leave again first thing this morning for @ 5am for 7am departure...only to find a few hours after I landed
that it was "snowing".... YES, Snowing!!!
WOW, I was like a child looking out the window.
I know for some that is not a very welcome sight...I truly do understand. I hope everyone is safe & with power & snuggled in for the night! I … (7 comments)

Halloween & Fall Are In the Air At Trader Joes - 10/28/11 11:23 AM
I wish we had a Trader Joes down in Miami and Fort Lauderdale. I actually wrote to the headquarters last year inquiring as to franchise investment opportunities, or a corporate location to be added to a specific lot in Downtown Fort Lauderdale, of which a lower end grocer was competing for & fortunately the neighborhood stalled the installation. Unfortunately their response was that they did not have adequate distribution at this point, but they were looking in to it.
So, what I did first thing when I arrived in Redondo Beach was to look up my favorite Trader Joes. They indeed … (8 comments)

Are Gutters Important to Your Home?? - 10/23/11 08:08 PM
How many realize why Gutters are so important to your home?? While they can be "upgraded" to be more cosmetic, they actually serve a very important function.
Gutters help to prevent foundation damage as a result of improper drainage surrounding your home. Too much exposure to water can create mold, cracks, & unnecessary shifting of the foundation. Gutters also help to protect your landscaping, pathway, or nice pavers from floating down the street by not allowing the pouring of the run off go straight onto your plants & hedges or walkways. Gutters help prevent water from going into your basement Gutters help water not accumulate on the … (10 comments)

What A Difference - A Tile Story of a Realtor's Business - Meet SaniGLAZE® Miami - 10/22/11 12:38 AM
I have been wrestling with a flooring problem. It was more than just an issue of needing new grout or grout restoration, as it had just been partially re-grouted the year prior, but it was also a matter of ease of upkeep, cleanliness, & maintenance with a home here in Miami. Many of these homes have this tile in the surrounding subdivisions, as it was the era they were constructed & with limited funds available for some homeowners, I sought a possible solution.
I called Sergio Barrero, C.B.S.E. who was kind (& patient) enough to give me a demonstration for a proposed project....This … (21 comments)

I Love A Story Of Hope & I Feel This One Will Warm Your Hearts - 10/16/11 10:31 PM
Hope is such a magical word. We all exist on "hope" whether we admit it or not.... In these times hope is more important than ever to share & spread inspiration. Today was an unusual story of hope; I stumbled upon, as it was very unique and right in my own native state.
This story is of a young man that has served our country & endured incredible battles.
Humbled by the fact he had returned home & felt lost, only to find that he retraced his roots to the home he had "rebelled & left from" when he enlisted...as … (14 comments)

Halloween Fun Impact ~ Part 1.... - 10/13/11 12:04 AM
Just thinking of a few inexpensive tips that may be I could pass on to make it even "more" of a Happy Halloween & something that comes from my home. There is at least a Part 2 to this series....but we will start with Part 1 :)!!
Halloween has always been pretty big in my home....not because I like scary (I won't go to horror movies...) but because it was always something I thought I needed to make special for the kids. Especially when we moved into our "new" neighborhood while my daughter was growing up.
I found there were infinite … (10 comments)

It All Started With "I Love Your Shoes" - 10/10/11 07:55 PM
I met a very interesting young woman today that was traveling with 5 of her best team members. I wish all conversations started this simple... (Just kidding many times they do).....It all started with "I love your shoes".... Well sounds simple enough right. (Most of the time, I am the quiet type)...but....It can be!!
I know that this conversation may not apply to everyone, but I had to share because it was "just that simple".....& I guess it depends on the person you are engaging, but the results were surprising.

Sitting On The Fence - 10/04/11 08:59 PM
Well over the past few months of discussion the subject of "Sitting On The Fence" has come up often....well I guess that "often" would be an understatement, but we will keep it at often for my thoughts today....
(courtesy of Google)
I have said to myself that I can totally relate to the circumstances, as there have been circumstances in my life where I have felt stuck. I guess others may be could have viewed it as "sitting on the fence", even though I was still making progress & moving forward.
There were a lot of responsibilities at the time. I … (21 comments)
