🧭 Feng Shui & the Front Door: What Pasadena Condo Sellers Should KnowIf you're planning to sell a Pasadena condo, it's important to think beyond square footage and curb appeal. In communities with strong Asian and Taiwanese cultural influences, Feng Shui can be a big factor in how buyers feel about your home—and whether they make an offer.In our latest blog post at Pasadena Condos by The Paul Kaplan Group, we explore one of the most critical elements in Feng Shui: the front door. Known as the “mouth of qi,” the front door is considered the main energy gateway into a home.Even if you’re not a Feng Shui follower yourself, making small changes to your condo’s entryway can dramatically improve how it feels to potential buyers—especially those sensitive to energy flow, layout, and symbolism....

If you’ve never checked out Float Fest then put it on your calendar next year! I’ve attended the Rose Parade and it’s great. But being up close to see the intricacies of the floats is incredible!We actually attended with the specific purpose of seeing one particular float.Our former classmate’s son, Peyton Nurse was honored on New Year's Day during the Rose Parade in Pasadena on the "One Legacy Donate Life Float."  He became an organ donor after a tragic accident. He was a young man who made a conscious decision in his lifetime. That decision led to the gift of life for several others! Think of becoming an organ donor if you haven’t already. This gift is priceless! #floatfest2025 #roseparadefloat #organdonor #pasadenaca #pasadena

We have always supported small businesses, not just on the official "Small Saturdays", but all year long. Thanks to John Pusa  he reminded me that Vroman's celebrated their 130th year in business. How incredible is that? Now we could not go when the actual celebration was during the middle of the week, but we were thrilled to come our first opportunity.Now if you are wondering, we have been supporting Vroman's for about 26 years. Yes, today Diane bought not just a couple of books, but various celebration cards, like Birthdays and other special occasions. She even managed to find a few Christmas - presents for our friends. Personally, I refrained with extra ordinary willpower not to buy the latest Jack Peppin cookbook.The best part was we bought Holly along in her stroller and as every t...

 on March 14Pies, Pi Plus How They Connect There are many things tossed about on the ActiveRainLand playground. Kinda like life where various choices are constantly thrown our way. Once I moved on from a career in real estate sales, I learned the industry observer professional profile option was available on AR. As a longtime observer of life, the designation seemed to fit me.  I put away market reports, community updates and just listed/just sold posts.  Fortunately, they weren't discarded but conveniently stored in the archived section on this site.   And well-preserved - for the moment.  Of course, other memories in my mind may not be as organized, but I am grateful many of them still survive. Both places are nice to visit.  Today happens to be Pi Day.  While not one of the major Mar...
