55+ Humor on Life...out of the mouth of babes ! - 07/18/09 08:40 PM
At Church service today, Father John shared another of his wonderful stories-jokes:One of the readings at today's liturgy related the story / parable of the shepherd who's flock had been scattered. It presented the visual & verbal picture of the dedicated Shepherd who, having found  that the flock under his supervision had been scattered, set himself to the task of gathering them together once again, thus sheltering them within his protective custody. As with all readings, teachings, parables found in the Bible,  the audience is expected to draw conclusions about their lives and actions. Father John went on to tell the following joke: ...The … (8 comments)

How do YOU do it....stay on the avenue, road, street or trail - 07/09/09 09:57 PM
If this gif would animate--it would show the "chasing Tail" action. That is precisely the feeling that I have right here, right now; a feeling that cannot be shared with my Partner for fear of the 'contagion effect'After reading through so many Articles, Blogs,  Posts, & Reports these past few days,the questioning has begun:  just What is it that we are doing so wrong?Branded Postcards have been sent recentlyPersonal cards / letters have previously been sent to past ClientsBranded Business cards are given outWe've started holding Open Houses for other Agents---Thank you Both for that chanceMet with potential clients who do not actually follow … (6 comments)

What a World WE live in....Music Tribute to MJ in background - 07/07/09 02:24 PM
Picture this blond, blue eyed boy in his Red Thriller jacket & you can understand why the Tribute to MJJ is playing in the background of our home today--even as I go about our Realtor[R] business. A fitting tribute in Photos,Singers / Songs, & Remembrances / Words. For a moment:    to enjoy this musical legend;    to hear the cries of "Michael- go" from the higher up seats in the nose bleed section     to simply believe in something    to realize that is OK to "move to your own drummer"    & to realize that all the above is done so much better when one has … (0 comments)

Fears are not to be shared.....they are to be Conquered - 07/01/09 04:22 PM
The above is a line from the novel  by Laurell K. Hamilton--"Skin Trade" = a vampire hunter novel What does the book have to do with Real Estate / REALTORS [R] / Agents !  Nothing.... the statement though has great meaning, I think, in the situations found in the Housing Market.What exactly are the "FEARS" that are expounded upon on a daily basis in our media; some even promoted by those within  the Profession itself....... the Financial markets are in flux to say the least....... the Housing market is experiencing dramatic ups & downs demographically ...... the Automotive market is being redrawn, reorganized, or removed as we knew it...... the … (0 comments)
