Over Thanksgiving we got one heckuva snow storm here in Lake Arrowhead, dumping about an inch of snow an hour. It was absolutely beautiful to watch. The pines all flocked with snow and there seemed to be no beginning or end to driveways and everything snow covered all around us. Snow Valley was literally snowed in as roads were blocked getting to them. Many roads were closed or strictly open to residents and chains were required on all vehicles ( known as R3 conditions) on all mountain roads. Even the though the plows were out, most secondary roads were not accessible. Everything was and is so white. It looks stunning. It's beautiful watching out the windows next to a crackling fire that just sets the tone for a beautiful winter night, snuggled up here in the mountains. Then, power line... 11/30/2019

Happy Thanksgiving!   Thanksgiving is a time for families and friends to come together. With hurried lives and busy schedules throughout the year, holidays such as Thanksgiving provides the opportunity for togetherness and a day to spend together in a very intentional way. While Thanksgiving has historical roots in religious and cultural traditions, it has been long celebrated a secular holiday as well. In many cultures Thanksgiving is associated with the Pilgrims and Native Americans symbolizing and celebrating intercultural peace and the sanctity of home and family. Even though Thanksgiving has become secularized and commercialized, we should never forget that the day is rooted in the commitment of our forefathers and foremothers to maintain a thankful heart no matter how painful or c... 11/28/2019

You vowed to love them and protect them. They are your fur-babies and are suppose to be a part of your family. If you wouldn't leave your child outside in the cold to fend for themselves or you wouldn't want to be left out in the cold and/or inclement weather, then you shouldn't be leaving your pet outside either. In fact, under Libre's Law, a dog cannot be left leashed for longer than 30 minutes in cold weather temperatures below 32 degrees Fahrenheit. This act establishes under what extreme weather conditions that keeping animals outside would constitute cruelty to animals.   Just like people, a pets cold tolerance can vary from pet to pet and these variances are in fact based on several factors including but not limited to: how their body stores fat, their coats, activity levels and ... 11/27/2019

It's that time of year. The time of year when we stop a little longer and really reflect on the things we are grateful for. For many, this is something that is done daily, but for some, we get so hurried that we unknowingly move about our day and don't find the time to reflect on those things that we are truly grateful for. It happens. We are human.  I encourage you to to stop for a few minutes each day, look around and really see all that you have to be grateful for. Nothing in life is too simple to be grateful for. If you're tired then be grateful you have a job and a beautiful life full of people and events that make you tired.  Look for the gratitude in everything and learn to make this a habit each and every day, not just at Thanksgiving.  Each and every day I am grateful for : My ... 11/13/2019

I know that renting a home seems convenient and there are some circumstances where it may be warranted, but have you thought about all of the downfalls of renting a home and then the upside of purchasing a home ? First, while many rentals come with lease agreements, often times owners simply do not renew the lease the longer the tenant stays. Whether an oversight or simply just not worried about it, not having a signed lease each year can leave you vulnerable to an owner sending you written notice to vacate because you are now on a month to month basis. It is important to check the laws in your state and determine how much notice a landlord must give and if your lease automatically rolls over and for what duration of time. Whether you are year to year or month to month, at the end of th... 11/07/2019

The Arrowhead Lake Association is asking residents and guests to refrain from bringing in firewood from other areas. Lake Arrowhead is declaring a " Buy It Where You Burn It " to reduce and/or eliminate pests that are destroying our forest. There are two new pests that are spreading and the transportation of firewood from infested areas are bringing these pests into our beautiful forest. The first pest is a voracious beetle named Gold-Spotted Soak Borer and this beetle has already begun killing oak trees in San Diego County. They have also been found in the North Riverside County community of Idyllwild. Infested areas are reporting oak mortality of 65 to 100% and more than 1 million acres of oak trees have been lost in Southern California.   The second new pest is the Polyphagous Shot H... 10/31/2019

When you can't do something you put limitations on yourself. By repeating the word can't over and over in situations you program your brain to use it more than you probably intended it to. Can't is a will or won't situation. Either you will do something or you won't. What is missing is the why? Why won't you? Is it fear, lack of knowledge, laziness or being uncomfortable? Whatever we do we have something to gain from it, even if it is our unwillingness to do something. Whatever happened to trying? What is the worst thing that can happen? No matter what you would have learned something and in many ways you would have shown yourself that you are capable of so much more than what you give yourself credit for. You would not have learned "That something" if you never tried. Sometimes we have... 10/21/2019

Expect nothing appreciate everything. Is this a double edge sword? Today, in the world we live in we see many people who have come to expect things rather than appreciate the things that are done for them. Those are the ones known for their entitlement attitude. Yet, a person whether religious or spiritual is taught to expect everything, act as if it's here ( believe and you will receive ) and appreciate it being in that emotion of gratitude. When we don't expect the amazing things we want in our life, we often become comfortable and complacent not wanting to improve or move forward to better things. I think it is about finding balance. I think it is about expecting the best, knowing that you have to work towards whatever it is you are expecting, and appreciate the fact that not only di... 10/16/2019

I love to travel. My husband and I pack up " Winnie " and hit the road. We have seen so many amazing things and have learned so much history throughout our travels. Recently, we stopped in Branson, MO and went into an Amish Country Store, As we parked we realized the " Then vs Now " when straight ahead of us was a horse and buggy. As time has evolved it sometimes makes me wonder how we ever got by without the 4x4 trucks or the smart cars. Life was simpler back then. It was a time when a hand shake was still your word and not so much of the dog-eat-dog world we live in now.  The one thing I have learned about the Amish is that they still do not live like most of us do. They aren't hurried, " things " don't mean as much to them as they do us. Family and faith seem to be the most important... 10/02/2019

What if we used Real Estate Terms that we are inundated with everyday to build a stronger business and lifestyle?  Let’s face it, life happens. The one thing that we all know is that mindset matters. We know that our thoughts become things. We know that if we focus on problems or all the “ Stuff “ we didn’t ask to happen, we get to a feeling of defeat. The 21 - 90 rule tells us that it if we commit to a professional or personal goal for 21 days it should have become a habit. And, once you have established the habit, you continue for another ninety days. Repetition becomes habit. The longer you do it, the more effective it becomes.  As professionals we have goals and aspirations. Sometimes in our busy, hectic lives it’s hard to achieve them. We have allowed society, friends, family and e... 09/26/2019

When a graphic reminds you that you need a reminder to be mindful of where your thoughts, habits and emotions are. It is so easy to get wrapped up in the wrongs, the bad, the mishaps and it is so easy to forget that there is always something to be grateful for. When we focus on the problem(s) it is so hard to see the solution. The more we speak of the problem and/or problems the more they wear us down, the more they take on a life of their own. Feel the emotion, recognize it, but release it so that you can start to focus on all the good things that have happened and the things you have yet to see!   09/25/2019

A beautiful bouquet of fresh pink roses from clients made my day. I love working with both buyers and sellers in Lake Arrowhead and my heart is so full of gratitude whenever I am able to help. To have the same gratitude reciprocated was so very appreciated and very meaningful. Pink roses convey gratitude, appreciation, recognition, joy happiness and so many other wonderful attributes. While they are so beautiful to look at, it is with a grateful heart that I stare at not only their beauty but also their special meaning. And, I am indeed grateful.     09/06/2019
