"A house you can call home!"

Integrity? Honesty? Compassion? What is that about?

I am still new to active rain and am still taking in all of the knowledge! I love reading others posts and learning from them. I have noticed a trend though.

PEOPLE ARE MEAN!

They are not honest. They are not compassionate and obviously do not know the meaning of integrity! I know some of you are thinking 'what rock have you been living under? People have always been mean!' I know this, but I think some people and companies have sunken to a new level! I am definitely not saying that I am perfect and am the most honest and compassionate person full of integrity. I know that I am not, but I also know that I do not intentionally hurt people or rip them off. I try my best to do what is best and not steal other Realtors clients or be unethical in general!

Bottom line: Be aware of your actions and the consequences. If you are a dirty realtor than word will spread and people will not want to be around you, let alone do business with you! This goes for all professions and being a human in general. I know you have heard it before, but just one more time-

"Treat others the way you would like to be treated!"

Simple enough?

Don't we all wish!

Meet the love's of my Life!

Amber Marshall- Murfreesboro, TN (865) 719-1074 (Realty Company) — Wed, 07 Jan 2009 09:57:25 -0600

The animals in my life that keep my heart full

....and the lint roller in business!

Meet Muffin! She is my rescue baby! She didn't way 1/2 lb. when she was dropped off with all of her siblings at Petsmart! She is now nearly 10 lbs. and is a very aloof lady, expect before dinner time! She is than of course very lovey! :)

This is Twizzler my pomeranian! My 1st small dog, and boy has he taught me a lot about small dog life! Potty training has never been so hard, escaping from the back yard is his specialty, and boy does he think he is tough! He llikes to bite at (playfully) Mavericks leg to get him to play...good thing Mavs is a laid back guy and doesn't put Twiz in his place too often!

Maverick! He is the most amazing dog, He is 12 years old and is doing great. He has had his elderly issues, but nothing that wasn't fixable. He is the sweetest dog I have ever had and is such a geourgous dog I don't know what I would do without him! He has my heart and always will!

This is Goose! He is a rescue cat as well. His owners had to give him up and he is such a great addition to my home that without him it wouldn't be complete! He is such a lovey cat! When he is not playing fetch he is setting in your lap 'making biscuits' as I like to call it! (kneading his paws)

These are my babies, and they are what I live for. Without them I wouldn't have near as much love in my life! I may be outnumbered, but I have a life full of love....from my menagerie of animals!

Scents Makes Sense

ScentsMakesSense.com

The importance of smell is sometimes overlooked when selling your home! There can be the most beutiful home for an unbelievable price, but an undesirable odor can be a major turn off. Who wants to buy a home that smells unpleasent.....No one!

I have heard from other realtors as well that this is a problem time and time again. I am not saying that your house needs to have an overpowering smell of flowers by any means, but am just stating that a pleasant smell should always be desired, especially when your home is being showed!

My answer for you is Scentsy! Just visit scentsmakessense.com and you will be amazed at all of the products and scents offered! There is a smell for everyone and I guarentee you will be pleased with the variety that is offered.

Scentsy is a nontoxic product with no flame so it is pet and child friendly! No worries about little hands, big tails, or loose kitty paws knocking these over! No fire hazards here! Don't worry about blowing out the candle because there is no flame!!!

I hope you try scentsy and let me know how much you enjoy it!

These are great closing and housewarming gifts as well!

Mission Statement:

To bring value to the world by providing an industry leading, family-friendly business opportunity selling creative, artistic, high-quality products that warm the heart, enliven the senses, and inspire the soul.

Our Story

Scentsy “Makes Perfect Scents”. We are pioneering the move away from the smoky, sooty candles of today to safe, healthy, fun and creative ways to bring the scents that make us happy into our lives.

We offer over 80 high quality fragrances delivered in a variety of ways. Our flagship product is the Authentic Scentsy Bar, an impressively fragrant wickless candle bar that is warmed in a warmer rather than burned with a flame.

Each year thousands of homes are damaged or destroyed by burning candles. The enthusiastic response we receive from our customers, our consultants, and more particularly fire-fighters, reflects the nationwide concern over the devastation burning candles can cause. This was our initial motivation – to create a safe alternative to burning candles. Our passion has grown from offering a safe alternative to offering a better alternative. Going wickless has allowed us to offer the public a better, more cost effective method of scenting their world.

How We Work:

A secret combination of ingredients is used to create a pool of melted wax, which is transformed into a wickless candle bar. Only the finest scented oils are hand-picked to give an array of aromas.

The melted wax is poured into reusable containers for easy storage. The wax is poured in an assortment of containers, giving the consultants party testers, basket testers and of course, Scentsy Bars to share with their customers. Room sprays and car candles are also produced in the warehouse.

Scentsy hand packs each order, ensuring the correct items come right to your door in a timely manner. By using UPS, your order can be tracked the moment it leaves the warehouse. Orders are typically shipped directly to the hostess, or can be shipped direct for a minimal cost. Our hand-picked staff adds a little bit of Scentsy Spirit into each hand-packed box. Scentsy believes that every employee, consultant, hostess and customer are part of the Scentsy Family.
