inspiration: Autumn is officially here! - 09/23/14 01:23 AM
 
Autumn:
 
Per Google's search page it is officially the first day of Autumn. It's time for the weather to start cooling down and the foliage on the trees to start showing off their orange and brown colors. 
Autumn, used interchangeably with Fall, marks the transition from summer to winter. I love the colors that the Autumn brings about.
It is a time of change, for some it means cooler weather and the ushering in of winter. For others it's football season, tail-gating or gathering around the living room television to watch your favorite teams play.
It also means a … (6 comments)

inspiration: This weeks motivational message: Uncork and Breathe... - 05/08/13 09:01 AM
Uncork and breathe. We usually hear this expression when we are around wine connoisseurs.
But, I have to remind myself to do just this from time to time when things starting getting wound tight. We have a very stressful job at times and add on top of that family, friends, children, home etc and sometimes we get to the point when we think we are going to blow our tops. Things can get pretty frustrating but, the real challenge is keeping your cool. At least I know it is for me! (My mother always told me that the temper comes with the red hair!)

Are you the type that is out creating opportunities or are you sitting around waiting for them to come to you?
I recently had a another agent ask me why they never saw me at the office and that I must not be working too hard since they never see me there.

(Phones are not ringing off the hook here.) And, mentioned that I didn't see people … (9 comments)

inspiration: A little inspiration as we slide into the weekend! - 04/17/13 07:20 PM
Yes, I know it isn't Friday....yet. But, I have had a very busy and productive week. Amazing what one can do when we focus on what needs to be done.
Teddy Roosevelt said, "Do what you can, with what you have, from where you are".
That has been my focus this week. Instead of worrying about where my next listing was coming from I continued to put more  focus on what I was already doing to get that business. I am always trying to think of ways to re-invent the wheel. What I do works! Why would I change it? With … (7 comments)

inspiration: Be an inspiration to others - 04/01/13 10:04 PM
Are you one of those people who needs to be inspired or one that inspires others? Do you have to  intentionally think about inspiring others or does it come naturally to you? My personal opinion is that to inspire others it is something that comes naturally and effortlessly. Some people have it and some do not.
What is it about some people that causes others to be inspired by their words or their actions? Where do they find their starting point? What keeps them motivated and inspired?
How can an ordinary person become that inspiration to others?
A lot of question to think … (3 comments)
