happy new year: Goal Setting For a Happy New Year 2014 - 01/02/14 10:39 AM

It is a New Year and a new chance to make those resolutions for the upcoming year of all the things we’d LIKE to do with good intentions, but sometimes we don’t follow through with them.  (present company included)
In 2013 the Top 5 New Year’s resolutions were…
Eat healthy and exercise regularly Learn something new Better work/life balance Get organized (My main one this year) Save money I’m sure that most, if not all, of these were on all of our lists for last year as well as even this year.  These resolutions seem to be the most popular year after … (2 comments)

happy new year: Happy New Year and Welcome to Your Best Year Ever! - 01/01/12 11:31 PM
I came across this short video today that really puts this into perspective. At least it did for me.
We sometimes take for granted the little things in life, like a beautiful smile on someone’s face, or a baby’s laugh, the rolling clouds in the sky, or literally everything that we can see, hear, touch, or smell. What an amazing gift to have any or better yet, ALL of these senses.
I urge you to watch this video and to cherish all you can think of no matter how large or small you might consider it to be. It is all … (2 comments)

happy new year: A New Day. A New Year. A New Broker. What's Next? - 01/01/11 09:21 AM
What a way to start off the new year!  In 2009 I had two separate signings and closes of escrow on Dec. 31st.  Awesome!  Yesterday, Dec. 31st, I got word that two of my clients' offers were accepted.  Way cool!

happy new year: New Year's in Paris? I Don't Think So! - 12/31/10 10:55 AM
It would be So awesome to be able to spend New Year's Eve in Paris under the Eiffel Tower one year. 
I've also wanted to even drudge through Times Square on this eventful night, but that might be a nightmare in the making.
But since we found out our daughter has Uveitis, which is an inflammation of the inner eye, it looks like we'll be spending the evening at home putting in special eye drops every waking hour as prescribed by the ophthalmologist this week.  It was pretty painful for her at first as well as sensitivity to light, which … (3 comments)

happy new year: Wishing You All A Very Merry Christmas! - 12/24/10 09:17 AM
And so this is Christmas!  Or at least the Eve of it anyway.  Are you done with all your Christmas shopping by now?                                                  I know, me neither.  I'll be going out in a few minutes to pick up just a few more items to put under our tree.
I've heard that Santa is already in his sleigh and beginning to circle around the globe to scout out the naughty and nice list of where and where not to stop.  So, which were you this past year?  I'm going with "nice" and see if it sticks.  ha!

Hopefully you were … (2 comments)
