I recently read a wonderful story I would like to share. It's about a 70-year-old Cora Bett Thomas Realty sales associate named Nash McIntosh, who swam for five hours from Tybee Island, Ga. to Hilton Head Island, S.C. I'm about one-third of his age and I can't imagine swimming that kind … (0 comments)
I know the feeling. You want to give up. You want to quit. It's not working out and you are frustrated. When are things going to change for the better?
I was on line with my son last Sunday at Splish Splash, waiting our turn like all the other patrons and I started talking with another Dad waiting behind me. The usual small talk and of course we came around to the economy. He stated he was in the restaurant business … (15 comments)
"I want a leader who will rally the Nation to action and sacrifice, to achieve energy independence in 10 years, like Kennedy did the moon shot...........
I've been hearing rumors of this plan for a while. A similar bill passed the House of Representatives in May, and was expected to get to the Senate fairly quickly. I guess 7 weeks is fairly quick in Washington.
I'm often not one for forwards, but this movie moved me so much that I had to share it. With all of the things that we go through on a daily basis, all the work, all the family, etc... it's often hard to remember to Pay-it-Forward. I hope this will help … (10 comments)

In church this morning, the pastor mentioned that there was an old tombstone with these words written on it: "Many Hopes are Buried Here". My heart goes out to the person who put that on their loved one's tombstone.
I write about politics, real estate, mortgages, financial planning, the state of the economy. I've also typed out motivational posts, and sometimes just posts that vent my current state of mind. So why should I change with my 200th post. So here it goes....
Just about everyone knows that Barack Obama is the Democratic Nominee. The reason I'm excited because he's the first African American to do it in the country's existence. This is the first time I have closely watched this campaign.
Hope is a very powerful thing. In fact, I'm not sure there are many things that can trump it. I have read stories from those that suffered great atrocities at the hands of captors in POW or concentration camps and the reason one person made it and another succumbed was a … (4 comments)
HAPPY DAY
The world is so inundated with magazine articles and "how-to" books for women on the art of attracting a man. Add to the mixture the well-intentioned friend's advice and of course wisdom from mom that today's woman has her compass pointing south most of the time! Figuratively speaking.
I recently started exercising on an elliptical machine we have in our back room at home. What a difference I have felt in my life! I started out at pedaling for 15 minutes and then worked up to 20 the next day. The third day I made it to 25 minutes. … (17 comments)
I was doing my daily devotion as I do everyday and came across this devotion. I understand some of you are not Christian, but the basics still apply regardless of who or what you worship.
It was suggested that I post this to a new group and being new to the family, this is probably the group I have wished for. So here it goes to Christianity and Real Estate group

With all of the negative turmoil that is created by the media and others we need to guard our thoughts more than ever. Since hearing the following quote I have tried to apply it more in my life.

This past weekend was brutal on my body. When my Sunday open house ended (preceded at noon by snow flurries in April in Ann Arbor, Michigan) and I was headed home, I knew I was tired. I didn't realize how tired I was until I felt myself literally falling asleep mid-typing, following up … (33 comments)

Every year, during the January thaw, I walk to my garden beds and look for the snowdrops. Right now, they're about an inch high and the white color is showing on the buds. They'll look like this pic in about a month.
