pat preston lynchburg va real estate: Tips for a Fearless Life - 09/13/09 11:26 AM
FEAR
Fear. We've all felt its icy hand--whether it's a sudden grab, or a subtle, lingering presence. No matter how it functions in your life, no doubt you're happiest and most fulfilled when it's not at the wheel, steering.
My favorite definition of fearlessness is this: the ability to remain soft and open, even under very difficult circumstances. Most often, fear causes us to shut down to our own and others' humanity. We just want to get away, but the quickest way out is to stay. If you can slow down a bit, you can see that fear rises, abides, and … (4 comments)

pat preston lynchburg va real estate: Lynchburg Community Market - 09/01/09 05:47 PM
Since 1783 the Lynchburg Community Market has played a key role in the development and growth of downtown Lynchburg.  The first Lynchburg Community Market was located on Water Street (now known as Ninth Street) and was an important economic contributor to the growth of Lynchburg. The 1783 Market was an open-air market, and served as the central social gathering place for the city.
As Lynchburg grew, the Market grew also, and was rebuilt in 1814 in the center of Water Street.  The Market served as a town square area for the community, with city-wide notices and speakers throughout the day … (6 comments)

  Real Estate Representation
When buying a home you have the opportunity to have a Realtor work with you in your search and help you every step of the way, and almost always at no additional cost to you. Why then do some people not take advantage of this option? I think it goes to a basic misunderstanding of the process, or potentially because some people think they can get a bargain if they work with the realtor representing the real estate listing. Buyer agents work with clients from start to finish in real estate. They learn what the client is … (5 comments)

pat preston lynchburg va real estate: Lynchburg Museum System is located in the Old Court House-Lynchburg Va - 08/29/09 04:23 PM
The Museum is housed in Lynchburg’s second court house, completed in the Greek Revival style in 1855.  William Ellison, the designer of the building, borrowed heavily from builders' handbooks of the day which provided detailing from classical structures such as the Parthenon. The fluted Doric columns, pedimented portico, and commanding presence on the hill overlooking the James River evoke the classical concepts of the day.
From 1855 onward, the Old Court House was used for a variety of courts: Hustings, Mayors, Circuit, District, Federal, and Juvenile Courts among them. During the Civil War, it was used by the Confederate government for … (4 comments)

 Improve Your Communication with Body Language Body language is a reflection of a person’s non-verbal communication. It includes movements or expressions that are so subtle the person may not even be aware of it themselves. Albert Mehrabian conducted a research in 1971 and concluded that there are three elements in any face to face communication 1. Words (7%) 2. Tone of voice (38%) 3. Body language (55%) The actual words spoken only account for 7% of the communication, while body language makes up 55%. Just as how you can’t really afford the luxury of time to allow others to have a … (11 comments)

 History of Lynchburg Part 6-Federal Hill-History of a Neighborhood
"Lynchburg is growing more rapidly than any town I have ever known in any country." So Thomas Jefferson wrote in 1817. He might have added that much of that growth was occurring on a certain hill just to the southwest of the original town limits. In fact, Federal Hill, as it soon came to be called, was Lynchburg's first residential suburb. Two annexations, one in 1814, just prior to Jefferson's observation, the second following in 1819, brought Federal Hill within the town's jurisdiction. The wording of deeds transferring property from the town's … (10 comments)
