Why I chose Real Estate. I grew up in the hills of Middle Tennessee with nine siblings. Yep, I was number five of ten. We were definitely NOT affluent and my parents never owned their own home. We moved often because "the grass was always greener..." Maybe that's part of why home ownership ...

Yesterday it felt as if everybody and everything was conspiring to “burn” me. Like that little strip of skin where your new bathing suit doesn’t quite cover as much as the old one. Two hours at the beach and it “BURNS!” No worries. A little icy blue aloe lotion and it feels so much bette...

I’m OLD! I qualify for the senior discount at my favorite clothing store. I am also technologically impaired. Oh, I have a laptop and a Smart Phone but only because I was forced (by my techy daughter) to get them. I live in a neighborhood where the majority of home owners are actually senior...

OMG! Get rid of it now! Take all that "stuff" it holds and put it on your desk. Now, start sorting. The bills you find that are overdue. Go ahead and make the calls. Apologize and pay. NOW! The contact sheets from weeks ago. It's probably too late, but go ahead and make the call. The "Note...

So you're beginning your search on the internet. You know where to go and you're putting in all the things that are importantt to you. It must be near a certain school, (the one you hear is tops); a two car garage is critical and you absolutely must have a screened in porch and a fenced back yar...

Well, let’s face it, how can you go to the beach and not … go to the beach. With 22 miles of ocean front with acres and acres of sand, that’s enough. Put on your bathing suit. (You won’t have to go in the water but you will certainly want to leave that option open.) Cover yourself with sun ...

#1: SET A SPELL if you've followed my blogs for very long you already know that I am a huge proponent of taking care of yourself first. If you work all the time and eat poorly, never exercise and don't get enough rest, you will not be able to do the things you need to do for others. Savor ever...
