INSPIRATION FOR TODAY: "There isn't a person anywhere who isn't capable of doing more than he thinks he can." ~ Henry Ford LISTEN! Ever notice how difficult it is to break out of your routine to take time just for you? Yet, when you do, you experience a sense of refreshment. You're more observant, more aware of your surroundings - if only for a short time. Those brief periods are when the mind is most receptive to creative thinking. The sub-conscious, with its defensive barriers temporarily lowered, is more likely to receive and accept new ideas. Use that time wisely … (31 comments)
dayton: Play Ball!

INSPIRATION FOR TODAY: "I hit anything that's close to the plate. I don't wait for that one pitch.” - Rod Carew PLAY BALL! With the start of the major league baseball season, a simple success formula recently heard comes to mind. It uses baseball words, but contains plenty of success wisdom. Which do you think is more important, a home run or a single base hit? Most of us would choose a home run - even a "grand slam" home run. Most of us were also brought up to believe that someday our "ship would come in" - that … (2 comments)

INSPIRATION FOR TODAY: "I keep waitin' for my ship to come in, but all that comes in is the tide." - Lyrics from "Hard Time Losin' Man" by Jim Croce THE WAITING GAME! The well-known Nike commercials have hammered into our heads the phrase "Just do it!" Regardless of how you view their advertising, there is magic in the words "just do it." The real key to the message is "doing it," a.k.a. taking action. Anything you have ever desired is available to you if you will it. Now, consider those who are constantly washed over by the "tide." … (2 comments)
dayton: How is your credit?
- 02/01/10 02:12 AM
INSPIRATION FOR TODAY: "A man's reputation is the opinion people have of him; his character is what he really is." - Jack Miner, conservationist (1865-1944) HOW'S YOUR CREDIT? Ever hear someone say, "I have good credit"? They are probably referring to their credit "rating" - a score bestowed upon them by creditors, banks or rating agencies. Simply stating, "I have good credit" changes nothing, nor does the statement merit the attention of creditors. Credit can only be given by others for service to them, i.e. paying them on time. So, credit is the result of serving others - in many ways. … (2 comments)
dayton: Take life in your own hands and see what happens.....
- 12/14/09 10:20 AM
INSPIRATION FOR TODAY: "Take your life in your own hands and what happens? A terrible thing: no one to blame." ~ Erica Jong BAN THE BLAME! "The dog ate my homework." Teachers hear that one every week. "Jimmy made me do it!" Parents hear that one often, too. Fast-forward a few years to the college student with bad grades, and you hear, "The professor doesn't like me." Then, before we know it, we're all grown up. Now we hear, "My manager didn't give me enough time to complete the project," and, "She doesn't understand me," or, "The customer wasn't honest with … (1 comments)
Feel on edge? Not sure what to expect next? Nerves frayed? Feeling overwhelmed by today's complex world situation? How is it that some people are calm, fearless, and content, while others are frightful, worried, overwhelmed, and uncertain about the future?
In the 1950's there were only three models of Chevrolet, about four dry cereals, two or three types of soap, etc. Mom went grocery shopping weekly. There were no shopping malls, computers, cell phones, portable CD players (or CD's), 401(k)s, Internet, or co-ed dorms. Life was … (5 comments)

If one endureIn purity of thought, joy follows himAs his own shadow - sure." ~ James Allen GO TO THE GARDEN! The human mind is like a garden. It directly reflects the care and attention given to it.

INSPIRATION FOR TODAY: "The philosophy of the classroom in one generation will be the philosophy of the government in the next." ~ Abraham Lincoln TEACH VALUES 101! What do children and government have in common? That depends on which classroom you visit. If you have children and are actively involved in their lives, you are likely to encounter a classroom filled with intelligent, interested, involved and respectful children. Unfortunately, many teachers today will tell you that's not what they are seeing. In some 1st & 2nd grade settings, children fall asleep because they spent the night in the family car while … (1 comments)

Buyers are still slow to move to the market. Again we are at record setting low prices and interest rates. With inflationary pressures pushing the economy I suspect interest rates will go up. Buyers must consider purchasing soon if they wish to benefit from … (0 comments)
dayton: San Mar Gale Development Lebanon Ohio
- 04/19/08 04:34 AM
Sometimes you see a development project and say here we go again! But sometimes you see a project and say Wow ,this will be great for my clients! I recently visited a new project in Lebanon Ohio that impressed me immensely. This is surely the biggest project to ever occur in Warren County. I do not have any business ties to this project but I hope to offer this as an option to many buyers in the future. The project is called The San Mar Gale. Their website although not full of information yet is awesome. http://sanmargale.com/. I believe if done right we will … (1 comments)
The inventory in Springboro is once again increasing. As of March 15, 2008 the units on the market jumped from 340 units at the end of Feb. to 381 units on the market today. Some of this increase is due to the normal seasonal cycle of real estate. Inventory always increases in the Spring and Summer. Interesting to note Feb. 2008 had only 14 units sell, being one of the slowest Feb in many years. The following shows the number of units sold per month in this quarter since 2005
dayton: Springboro Market Conditions
- 03/11/08 03:20 PM
The Springboro area is experiencing a SLIGHT downward pressure on prices. The inventory has been at an all time high however we are seeing some leveling out of the supply of homes on the market. This means the number of listing on the market is decreasing slightly compared to what it was several months ago. We are looking for 2008 to be comparable to 2007. Incidentally 2007 was our fourth BEST year in real estate history. The GOOD NEWS is our local market is not crashing as you hear on the news media only correcting slightly.Personally, I am still selling a … (0 comments)
