mother lode real estate: Blind Spot? - 11/29/12 04:54 AM

A "blind spot" when you're driving your car is that  place just back, behind and over your left shoulder. (You knew that.) And if you don't look over your "blind spot shoulder" before you make a left hand turn or change lanes ~ well, probably 8 times out of 10 you'll be okay, but the other 2 times, you better make sure you're paid up on your car insurance. And there are other blind spots that we can have in life. (It's true.) And it's not necessarily my purpose here to talk about what other blind spots might be that … (0 comments)

mother lode real estate: 7 Signs You're Probably a "Last Minute" Person - 11/08/12 06:18 AM

I'm talking about "last minute" people in this one. (I think the word is: procrastinators.) LAST MINUTE NOT ALL BAD And let me just say at the outset that it's not always a bad thing that you wait until the last minute. I mean, football and basketball players do it all the time. Right? They wait until the end of the game to kick the winning field goal. The wait until the last second to sink the winning shot. So if you're a "last minute" person, you remember that. You just might have a career ahead of you playing for … (0 comments)

mother lode real estate: 7 Reasons Why I'm Quitting Blogging - 09/17/12 02:37 AM
Well, I'm not really quitting, but I have been thinking about the challenges bloggers face that sometimes make them quit. Maybe you've thought these things, maybe you haven't. Regardless, I've added a little "twist." In parentheses I offer my response to each point. They're meant to be a challenge / call to action, food for thought to spend a few moments considering. And so here we go with... 7 Reasons Why I'm Quitting Blogging... 1. It's hard (anything worthwhile is) 2. It's time consuming (go to McDonald's if you want fast food) 3. It makes me think (it's a good thing … (2 comments)

mother lode real estate: Name That Pinterest Board (The Art of Writing Headlines / Titles) - 09/12/12 02:10 AM

There is an art to writing headlines / titles that capture attention. If you want to get somebody to click on that link, if you want to get people to stop and linger awhile, you need to think through the design of your headline / title to draw them in.   The same thing is true when it comes naming boards on Pinterest. A "board" on Pinterest (for those of you that don't know) is a grouping or category of "pins." And "pins" are just pictures from around the web (and Pinterest itself, too) that people post (pin!) to their … (0 comments)

Have you ever lied? (You're lying right now if you said, "No.") Have you ever been lied to? (Some of you are thinking, "Every time I listen to the Evening News"?)

mother lode real estate: 7 Things You Can Do to Become a More Unselfish Person (plus 1 bonus) - 08/20/12 06:26 AM
It's a fact that we would rather be around an unselfish person than a selfish person. And so if we're in the people business (and most of us are unless we live in a convent or monastery), it necessarily makes sense that we strive for unselfishness ~ and for the purposes of making a living, too. (It isn't a selfish thing to want to feed yourself and your family.) This is not an easy task for the majority of us (I'm talking about making a choice against selfishness). We are "schooled" to be selfish. I mean, we've heard it in advertising: … (1 comments)

mother lode real estate: Y-o-u - 08/13/12 01:51 AM
Why is that we're always trying to be somebody else? I mean, we're born. We go to kindergarten. (I know there's a little bit that goes on between being born and going to kindergarten.) And then it happens. We want to be "like Johnny" or "like Karen" (or like whoever it may be that happens to be in our class that's quote "popular" at the time). And then time goes by and we get older. Our horizons enlarge. And that thing that happened to us in kindergarten happens again. It stays with us (many of us). We want to be like … (1 comments)
