We are shaped by people and experiences throughout our lives. In the March ActiveRain challenge hosted by Lew Corcoran and Patricia Faeger, we are asked to share the profound impact someone had on you in shaping you into who you are today.I am the way I am largely due to how My Parents Shaped Who I Am Today, they set a strong foundation.I am not only shaped by the powerful foundation and strength my parents built but by the loving support from my son during the "Dark Night of the Soul" experience with stage 3 breast cancer", I am also shaped by people I trusted who did me wrong. The people who teach and remind me of who I do not want to be must be mentioned as part of this challenge.

The 2025 Carlsbad 5000 Takes Place April 6 There are multiple running events during the year in Carlsbad. The Carlsbad 5000 takes place on April 6th and is supposedly the world’s fastest 5K race. Several world and US records have been set, and broken, since the race was established in 1986. Runners will certainly hope to set new records in 2025! (feature photo shows part of the same course as the Carlsbad Marathon). If you are interested you still have time to register online, but don’t wait as this event typically sells out.  Registration closes on April 4. There are multiple races taking place on Sunday April 6th. There is the main event, the Carlsbad 5000 (5K). But other runners may be interested in the All Day 20K (four 5K races) offering 4 categories of runners. (photo courtesy of ...

Timing Your Home Sale: How to Maximize Your ProfitWhen it comes to selling your home for top dollar, timing can make all the difference. Strategic planning around when you list your property can significantly impact both the sale price and how quickly your home moves off the market.The Optimal Listing WindowReal estate professionals consistently find that the period from late March to early May represents the sweet spot for home listings. Properties that enter the market during this early spring timeframe typically sell more quickly and command higher prices than those listed during other seasons.This advantage exists primarily because buyers are actively searching for properties they can close on before the summer months arrive. Many families prefer to move during summer breaks, creati...

There are few places around the world where you can start the day in the mountains and end the day at the beach. Even fewer where this can happen in the space of a few hours on foot. Ventura County happens to be one of those place and the Mountains 2 Beach Marathon 2025 is the event that allows this to happen.What: Mountains 2 Beach Marathon 2025Where: Ojai to VenturaWhen: April 12th & 13thContact: M2B Marathon Organizers via emailMountains 2 Beach Marathon 2025This unique marathon begins in the mountainous area of downtown Ojai (around 700 feet ASL) and hits sea level in just 22 miles, ending near the Ventura Pier.

Hello Everyone,I recently read a article about a Realtor patting herself on the back in my market because someone broke into a vacant house she had listed and took the appliances. She went on to say how awesome she is because the seller was reimbursed. So here is the problem, where I work the crime rate is pretty high and police force is pretty low. In fact, if someone gets into a house and says "I live here"  the police are called, they arrive,  then will call it a civil matter you will have to work it out win the courts  so intruders  have free housing for the next 3-4 months. Putting a "For Sale Sign" in front of a house in my market invites the homeless and intruders its a Billboard for them in code it means Please Enter! So why would this realtor pur her Sign in front of that house...
