Regardless of what appears on job descriptions or in employee handbooks, your behavior is the real performance standard that team members will follow. They'll rightfully assume tha...

It seems that as time goes on, we get busier and busier, and we lose ourselves and forget about what is really important in our lives.  We get so into the hussle and bussle, and next thing we know, we are in our mid forties or more, and wondering where it all went.  Wondering, "what did I accompl...

Yeah, we did it.  I just hit 100,000 pts, for the second.  I am so excited.  I was devestated when I lost over 30,000 pts, when I deleted some older blogs.  I am sorry that if by my deleting blog, I cost any of you points.  I was just trying to clean up, but it was the wrong thing to do.  But, no...

This is Steve Reno, from 1968.  He came into my store today.  He has quite the story.  I just had to share who I got to meet today.

Here is a little movie I just came across.  It is a great little thought provoker.  Too many times, in our day to day, we allow life to take our joy away, and then we try to pass that on to others that we have influence over.  We allow circumstances to control us, our feelings and how we treat ot...

I just wanted to drop a quick note wishing all you Fathers a Happy Father's Day.  What are your plans for this day?  How are you going to spend it?  What traditions do you have on this day?  Who are you going to spend this time with?  These are just some questions that come to my mind.  I think t...

Just wanting to thank Active Rain for the lead I got for two new land listings I just got.  They are both in Lake Los Angeles.  They are located at the corner of 170th St E and Palmdale Blvd.  One is actually on Palmdale and 171st St E, and the other is on 170th and Q6.  You can see my listing at...

Today there is something wired going on with Active Rain.  I first noticed that my blogs didn't have my pic on them.  Then I went to a couple of other peoples blogs and saw no pics.  Just now, I went to check ranking and saw many people without pics.  What is going on?  Today is feeling like a ve...
