So you plugged through the holidays, attended the parties and potlucks, maxed out whatever budget you had and managed to survive into 2012. You had business to tend to, goals to set, new people to meet and places to go. And, now, it's mid-February, and you find that you are still in a funk.    I know that whenever I am in a funk, I feel disengaged and frustrated with the general day to day. Too little sun and I become lethargic. And indulging on a 'funk' day to hold a pity party for one may not do the trick. So if you find yourself in a similar situation, unmotivated and locked in place, try seeking out a healthy outlet to release a little. Get Moving - It may seem like the last thing you want to do, but getting out of a doomsicle requires being a little active. Go for a walk, a jog, do... 02/13/2012

Every so often, it's nice to send a reminder out about the importance of having proper representation when making large financial decisions. Just recently, I learned of two real estate transactions that did not proceed as planned because the Buyers did not have someone to advocate their needs. So, just in case you were hit by a large boulder and forgot the importance of having a guiding light in the largest monetary purchase you are likely to make in your lifetime, let me remind you. With a real estate agent, Buyer's will receive: Extensive Needs Analysis : Some form of communication will open the door for a professional to learn about you, your life situation and what you are looking for in the home search to narrow down your options. Not only the type of stucture or bedroom count, thi... 08/30/2011

ABOCA'S ITALIAN GRILL     One of my favorite restaurants in the Dallas area is Aboca's Italian Grill in Richardson, TX.  Three years ago, a friend introduced me to this exceptional casual Italian Grill.  Ever since that day, I have made a monthly pilgrimage to this local favorite, to savor some of the best Italian dishes I have ever tasted! Without a doubt, the owner/chef's Veal Osso Buco is the best of the best!  The veal shank is slow cooked in a delicious wine sauce and served with risotto and colorful steamed vegetables. I guarantee that the flavor of this dish will linger in your memory until your next visit! Portions are generous. Even the man in your life will have leftovers to take home!  This dish is so popular that it is a good idea to call ahead and reserve your Osso Bocco.  ... 05/21/2011
