See It. Experience It. Live It.

See It.  Experience It.  Live It.   

Garden of the Gods

 

I first came up with this slogan because it described how this Texas gal came to live in Colorado.    First, I got to SEE Colorado in pictures.  I even drove through it once.  I thought Colorado was pretty but there are a lot of really pretty places in the world.     

 

The Incline

 

I then had the opportunity to EXPERIENCE Colorado Springs.  After jogging through the Garden of the God’s, climbing the Incline and exploring Manitou Springs and downtown Colorado Springs, I was hooked.   I noticed that there were also a lot of horse properties available.   I decided to LIVE in Colorado Springs.    For me, Colorado Springs is an area that allows me to LIVE life.  I’ve been in Colorado for four years now and there is still so much to SEE and to EXPERIENCE. 

 

 

 

As I real estate broker, I specialize in more than just horse properties.  I specialize in lifestyle properties.  In other words, I specialize in properties reflects a person’s goals, their passions, their lifestyle.  This property may be a home, a second home, a ranch or an investment.  These homes and ranches allow people to EXPERIENCE a certain lifestyle.  These homes and ranches allow people to LIVE their dreams.   My job as a Photographer/Home Stager/Realtor is to help sellers allow buyer prospects to SEE their homes.  I try to capture the EXPERIENCE so that buyers can envision what it might feel like to actually LIVE that the lifestyle.   

 

When I blog, I spend a significant amount of time trying to capture the Colorado EXPERIENCE in photographs in hopes that others may SEE Colorado and want to EXPERIENCE Colorado.  Who knows, they just might fall in love with Colorado and want to LIVE here.   

 

The photo below is of two of my Active Rain friends Sharon Lee and Dale Poll . getting out and EXPERIENCING  the Ajax Gold Mine in Victor, Colorado.    Some experiences require hard hats due to safety regulations....  Check out  Dale's most recent  post Sunday Morning for another photograph taken that day.  Dale and Sharon

 

 

Lastly, this year after losing a couple of dear friends, I’ve come to realize that life is short.  There is no guarantee that there will be a tomorrow.   Therefore, I want to encourage people to get off the couch.   Go out and EXPERIENCE life.   Never take your friends and family for granted.  LIVE.   Make certain that your home suits that lifestyle that you want to LIVE.    

 

The following music video, "Live Like You Were Dying" sums up my passion for life that I sincerely hope translates to my real estate business.

Rob, thank you for the nice compliment.  

Sharon, we had a blast.  I've got a bunch of future blogs planned for later this fall/winter that covers our adventures.  

Gary, going to the old gold mines and seeing a working one in operation is an experience.   It's kind of amazing what all is required to get to the gold.  

Richie, I'd like to think that I am a passionate person.  Like integrity, I figured that trait is best demonstrated versus stated.  Thanks for noticing.  

Dale, I really like that particular picture.  I'm glad that the two of you let me take it.  

Dick- thanks.  I know you understand what I'm trying to communicate with my tag line:  See It.  Experience It.  Live It.

Sondra, I know many folks who've traveled out west and never looked back. What a perfect slogan that captures the essence of living in Colorado.

Sondra, excellent post and makes me want to jump in the car and take off. My husband and I had planned to go to Maine, but had to put this trip off. I loved the movie Bucket List.  I'v visited Colorado twice and it is a beautiful state.

Sondra~ I moved to Colorado from New Jersey, site unseen. I'd never been here before, but I had the opportunity to make a move with my company and I took it. I don't regret it, not one little bit!
