utc: Take Action: No Waiting To Exhale - 11/06/20 06:37 AM
"Resentment is like drinking poison
and hoping it will kill your enemies."
Nobel Prize Winner, Nelson Mandela
 
Your action for today
is to see if you harbor animosity
towards someone and
see what it would take to let go of it.
 
 
I harbored much anger in my youth.
Today, I either forgive & forget or
settle for peaceful indifference and move on.
I only allow myself one hour to be angry.
Then, I have to do something positive;
like workout, hike or do something kind for
for a family member, friend, client or stranger.
Anger & bitterness is cancer. Live cancer-free.

utc: Until We Me Again, And I Hope We Do... - 03/17/17 09:01 PM
May the roads rise up to meet you,
May the winds be at your back.
May the sunshine warm upon your face 
and the rains fall softly upon your fields.
And until we meat again my friends
(and I hope we do)
May God hold you in the hollow of His hand.

utc: Far From "The Car" in America's Finest City - 03/13/17 04:12 PM
This is my March 2017 ActiveRain Contest #3 entry for: 
March 2017 challenge, Tell me the most unique or special place you have lived? by Paul S. Henderson, REALTOR®, Broker, Tacoma Washington 
The most unique home I’ve ever lived in was my car, in the parking lot of my high school.
I was homeless for a few weeks at age 16-17, my senior year. I left a mostly mentally abusive situation, some physical, for fear of what it was doing to me and what I was becoming as a result of it. It was not a planned departure, so I spent a few weeks living in … (51 comments)

Yes, Wyatt?
 
What is a goal?
 
It's the ambitious, hopeful act of planning for a bigger future than your present. And it's a road map to that future. In fact it's a target you aim for.
 
A target?                                                                            
 
Yep, see my friend Joe Niego always says "Most Realtors aim for nothing and hit it with amazing accuracy!" Which means without a goal, you have no destination, no … (5 comments)

utc: Renaissance La Jolla has a Fairy Tale Bridge - 02/06/17 07:57 AM
The bridge that transports you from the reality of your day to a safe place to unwind and recharge.
 
 
I live in UTC/La Jolla, which is a contemporary neighborood of San Diego, CA. We are neighborhoods that meander through a variety of corporate landscape; mostly office parks, hotels, shopping centers and of course UCSD's campus. We are a 97% condo/townhome community with only one true single family home neighborhood-less than 40 houses.
 
Here's a quick peek at the bridge...

utc: Finding "UTC" in San Diego, CA - 01/27/17 06:49 AM
U.T.C. in San Diego-a well known hidden gem!
 
 (What is UTC?)  I asked the same question when I arrived in San Diego in 2003; this town loves it’s neighborhoods and those acronyms that make you sound local; each with unique characteristics and pride.
UTC is short for University Towne Centre. For example we never say “Pacific Beach”, it’s always “PB”. I’ve never heard anybody say “University Towne Centre” it’s always UTC.
 
This UTC area map shows you where we got our "Golden Triangle". 
 
I’m always asked, “What does UTC stand for and where is it in San Diego?” University Towne Centre! It's the neighborhood … (3 comments)
