Wednesday's Words: Simply A Beautiful Expression!

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with Napa Consultants DRE00893924

As we were strolling through the Farmers Market last Saturday morning, we were captivated by these little bouquets arrangements of calendulas and bachelor buttons. We marveled at the simplicity of beauty in those utilitarian zinc buckets.  

 

Simplicity is the glory of expression.

Walt Whitman

 

That's been one of my mantras - focus and simplicity.

Simple can be harder than complex:

You have to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple.

But it's worth it in the end because once you get there,

you can move mountains.

 Steve Jobs

 

Happy Wednesday!

What a welcome view for my eyes, Ron and Alexandra Seigel ... as today's weather in Chicagoland is calling for 3 to 5 inches of snow!  You provide warm sunny thoughts ...

Gene Mundt, IL/WI Mortgage Originator - FHA/VA/Conv/Jumbo/Portfolio/Refi it was 39 degrees this morning when we. left for an appointment this morning at 4:00AM in Beverly Hills...We are having a colder than usual weather, which you would consider as warm, highs of 59.  A

After shoveling snow at three different appointments yesterday Ron and Alexandra Seigel, I can tell you I'd be very happy to suffer through with temperatures of 59 degrees.  Let's just say I'd be happy to get my workout with a golf club instead of a snow shovel ... enjoy!

Krystin Mitchell, CPA CFE I am fond of things like that.  I refer to them as smile landmarks, and that includes wall murals, the amazing wisteria bush that will bloom next month in the industrial area.  They brighten my day, even when I am in a great mood.  A

Myrl Jeffcoat that wildflower garden must have been spectacular.  A few years ago when we working on a project in Sonoma, the B&B we stayed at had a huge garden of wildflowers English style...It was lovely.  A

Barbara Todaro Exactly and well said.  So many of the Superbowl commercials were complicated and did not get their messages across.  As we were driving back home this afternoon, I asked Ron to remind of what a particular commercial was about (the Walmart), because were next o one of their trucks.  It took both of us to piece it together.  A
