Lightning fast post meant to make you think... 10 Mistakes People Make with Pinterest (plus 1 bonus): (what might you add to the list?) 1. Are afraid to be an "early adopter" (drag their feet). 2.

13 Lies We Tell Ourselves (About Others) - 05/21/12 10:04 AM
Have you ever lied? (You just did by not admitting it.) We all lie. We all have lied. We all will lie (in the future). There are many reasons why we lie. Sometimes it's out of fear. Sometimes it's out of embarrassment. Sometimes it's because we're afraid of the consequences of the truth. Sometimes it's to protect somebody else. (Can you think of any reasons why you've lied in the past?) And then there are the people who we lie to. We lie to potential future employers (on our resume). We lie in the way we present ourselves in public (as … (1 comments)

Story of a Tall Man and a Short Wife - 05/17/12 10:14 AM
A friend of mine recently shared the story of his trip to Disneyland with his wife. Now, what you need to know about this friend (before I tell you the story) is he is about 6 foot 4 and his wife is about 4 foot 10. (No lie.) And so when they went to Disneyland, he talked about how there were just massive amounts of people there ~ like wall to wall. He joked about how the great thing about being so tall is you can see over everybody. Not so for his wife. She was literally buried. So he told … (1 comments)

How to Use Pinterest with Real Estate - 05/14/12 10:51 AM
The light (in my mind) has finally come on with Pinterest and how to use it with Real Estate. Working for a real estate company as a blogger, I'm in charge of all the social media stuff, too. And so when Twitter came along, I had to get my mind around that. And then when Facebook (business) pages were the new thing, I had to get my mind around that. And now it's Pinterest. And I've been thinking, thinking, thinking, thinking. And now I believe I've come up with a way to use it. First things first. As it is with … (1 comments)

What Do Moms Like Best on Mother's Day? (redux) - 05/09/12 10:01 AM
We're celebrating moms this coming Sunday and so I was thinking about the various gifts that they receive on Mother's Day and the ones they like the best. I tried to rank them in an order keeping in mind what my own mom would probably most prefer (especially the top 5). It might be different with yours, but I'm hoping I came pretty close to how you would list these yourself.
So here I go answering the question...
What Do Moms Like Best on Mother's Day?
15. Flowers 14. Candy 13. Hugs and kisses 12. Phone calls 11. … (1 comments)

What's Your Passion? - 05/01/12 09:10 AM
What's your passion? What I mean by passion is: What is it that you would do even if you didn't make a cent from it? And it goes even further: What is it that you would just die if you couldn't do it? ~ your literal life would be sucked out of you and you would dry up? That's your passion. Sometimes we can't make a living from what's our passion, but we do it any way, on the side as it were ~ while we make a living at something else so our family can eat. It's the height of … (1 comments)
