At a recent meeting I heard a great story.  It was called "The Parable of the Hotdog".  I was so taken with this story that I used it in my monthly newsletter to my farm area.  It has great value to each of us.  So, I would like to share it with you as well.  I wish I could take credit for the st...

Have you ever had a life altering experience?  Something that totally changes the way you live your life.  Last December I bought the book, "The Secret".  I read it in about 2 hours. I then went out and bought the video and since then I have purchased the audio tapes of the book.  I have the audi...

My office recently merged with Coldwell Banker Residential.  I am excited about the change and have been impressed with the new office and staff.  After having worked with a company for nearly 19 years, it was a bit scarey to make the change.  However, it has been awesome.  I have been impressed ...

I love to collect quotes.  I recently attended our yearly planning workshop at our office.  It was the best ever.  I would like to share two quotes that were part of the workshop.1.  No one can do everything but everyone can do something.  I like this quote because it tells me that I don't have t...

Well, it's my birthday.  This year, as in year's past, my husband wanted to know what I wanted to do for my big day.  I thought about it a lot.  2007 went so quick, it's a blur.  So far, 2008 seems to be tha same.  So, I opted for quiet day at home.  I did what I had to do in Real Estate and then...

I had a wonderful opportunity presented to me this year.  A good friend of mine came to me and asked if I wanted to participate in a fundraiser.  He volunteers with a youth group and they wanted to do something to help out the local homeless shelter.  They have worked all year long to raise money...

Well, in less than an week 2008 will be here.  It is hard to imagine, but true.  So, my plan for the next week, is to put together a plan.  Late December is when I go over the previous year and set goals for the coming year.  I look at programs that worked and ones that didn't work.  I don't beli...

I grew up in southern Missouri.  I moved to Utah in 1989 for a second time and have been here in Utah since then.  I recently returned from a trip to Hot Springs, Arkansas.  What a beautiful state.  The geography is very much like Missouri and I felt right at home.  The main reason I felt at home...

My daughter in law posted a comment on their family blog that said something like this-----NOOOOOOOOOO!  I had to laugh.  Her comment was in response to walking into a store the first part of November and hearing Christmas music.  She said she wasn't ready for it.  It was to early.  For me, it is...

I have been selling real estate in Salt Lake City since 1990.  One thing that I have learned over the years is a good agent will know the seller or buyer's motivation.  The way I find that motivation is, I ask questions.  There are four valuable questions.  Why ..., Where ...., When .... and What...
