Yesterday, I received an email from someone I've never heard of and I noticed there were many Realtors, home inspectors and related services in the "to" address line.  When you saw the body of the email, it had a black background and large red lettering.  It was about God, or their impressions of...

The same year as my white-water rafting adventure, I had the opportunity to go up in a hot air balloon race.  There is a hot air balloon race in/near Spartanburg SC every year in May, or was during that time.  I lived in Spartanburg and managed The Business & Technology Center, (leasing space for...

An email in my inbox a day or so ago had an article on "Helicopter Parenting".   It reminds me of a young client I had a couple of years ago and who definitely had a helicopter parents.  The Dad might have let go, but the mother would or could not.    He was a great young guy, all grown up, colle...

 It is amazing how when you reach your early 40's you think you are getting old and you do things you wanted to do before but was afraid to.  It happened to me too.

This morning, I received my first buyer referral through the Active Rain network.  We have communicated and I responded to her first time home buyer questions.  We will meet next week to determine if she feels comfortable working with me.  Can't imagine she would not, but then I'm very comfortabl...

This little guy made me take the window screen off so I could get a better shot.  Yes, I know, some people say you should not feed them, but they do seem to love it.  This may be the female as the males are like most of the bird species, very attractive & colorful.  I definitely need to get one o...

This little guy sat on my fence a few years ago around Thanksgiving, when we were having some really cold weather and strong wind.  I live in the city and had never seen one of these here before.  My oldest son said it was a Blue Heron (I had labeled it a Crane and sent it to him) and bought me a...

My older cat, Goldie has been with me for about 11 years now.  She is a little spoiled and if she whines (meows) too much, I just look at her and say "no whining" everytime until she stops.  It is funny that she seems to know what I mean. Shadow, was a baby kitty I rescued about 4 1/2 years ago. ...
