Rita Connecting Learning Sharing - everything Walnut Creek California.

Tiny whistles and melodic shrills echo in the distance. Trilling of a morning-bird drifts over the fence from high above in the neighbor's birch tree. A mocking bird replies from somewhere ahead. A symphony of morning songs that invite us to come out into the garden early each warm summer morning...

I read a Blog written by Rebecca Gaujot in regards to My 100th Call Shot. Then I read a Blog written by Ellie McIntire in regards to "Wouldn't it be nice to be able to thank the 'Suggester'?" followed by comments agreeing and disagreeing with Ellie.  We've been taught from very young to always sa...

Yesterday I couldn't see the sunrise in Walnut Creek CA because of all the fog... but Oh what a spectacular Sunset!!!!!!! It's the same in Real Estate. You want listings... you get out there and look for them but if you just can't find them because of the "fog" then look around and before you kn...

December 10th: I woke up early this morning to watch the sunrise over my neighborhood. At first I was disappointed because of the fog, but then I realized there was a lesson to be learned. With Sunrises and Real Estate ... ya just gotta roll with it.  I spent some time posting my photo of the fo...

My Challenge was the fog. I couldn't see the sunrise. That's OK... I know the sun came up this morning whether I saw it rise or not.  Here is the photo I took. Believe it or not Mt.

I'd like to send out a challenge to all ActiveRain Members across the United States For jus...

December 9th: Yesterday I tried to get into ActiveRain only to find the AR server was down. It's hard enough getting a routine going to efficiently do all the tasks I need to do each day, but I learned something yesterday. Routine is good but flexibility is even better. I started getting frustrat...

  December 7th-8th: Since I mostly do AR first thing in the early morning, not sure which day I'm to write about. Either way it's all good. Yesterday I began my morning discovering what the 31 Days in December Challenge was all about, and then spent the rest of the day playing catchup. I managed ...

December 6th: I'm almost caught up. Yesterday I started the morning with Active Rain followed by 30 minutes of yoga, all before 6 am. I love beginning the day this way. I want to add more facebook to my morning routine, but it's not happening yet. It will in time. Maybe I'll add that to my 2011 ...
