Lemon Blossom Friendship


After a meeting, a class, a few business phone calls and then delivery of a key to a client, I was ready to take a break with a hot cup of tea. It was not just any tea that I had a taste for but a special blend; Stash's Lemon Blossom tea. So good and refreshing that my mind and body totally relaxed. A smile came to my face as I sipped my tea and thought of my dear friend Candy. She recently started a wonderful society, Lemon Blossom League and received a gift of a lemom blossom tree which she proudly named Lulu. I thought about how Lulu is blossoming and looking so beautiful so quickly. It reminded me of when Candy and I first met and how quickly we realized how much we had in common. Although we haven't seen each other since she moved away several years ago, we have kept in touch and to our amazement our friendship has blossomed even more. What a wonderful feeling to have such a blossoming friendship!

A smile is a powerful weapon; you can even break ice with it. So start a chain reaction and smile today!

Expert Real Estate Host


I just spent the last two days at the International Builders Show here in Las Vegas hosting for Gladiator GarageWorks, a Whirlpool company. The days were busy, exciting, tiresome on my feet all day but very educational and informational. How did I end up hosting at the show? Well, it all started with an article that I wrote and posted online several months ago. Gladiator GarageWorks saw the article, contacted me and after several discussions we had a contract. Before I knew it, I was their expert real estate host for their products at the show. Gladiator asked that I talk to the media, builders, developers and members of the industry about the importance of garage organization and how it adds value to a home. So I talked to many magazines, newspapers, .coms, and I did live radio. Check out a news brief about me at the show here: http://news.prnewswire.com/DisplayReleaseContent.aspx?ACCT=104&STORY=/www/story/01-20-2009/0004957257&EDATE=
I will be working on a podcast for them next week. I met a lot of people and contacts while handing out a lot of business cards at the show too. It was a great experience for me in so many ways. It Was All Worth It! I had not heard of this garage company until they contacted me to host their product. Then I did the research on them and the show. Wow! They have an outstanding product that meets the needs of the consumer in so many ways. An organized and functional garage with multiple uses, increases the value of a home. You can transform your garage in just about anyway you want with their versatile products. They are sold at: Lowe's, Sears, Ace Hardware and at many other garage dealers.

Angels Are Always There


When life feels like a tightrope walk, remember that angels are always there, holding a net.

An Enlightened Woman

As she sat against a beautifully fanned palm tree with her eyes closed, she could feel the warmth of the sun on her face and the wind in her hair. She could feel the fine white sand between her toes as she listened to the peaceful sounds of the ocean. She took several deep breaths allowing her mind and body to totally relax in her serene environment. As she slowly released the deep breaths, she became even more calm and relaxed. She was becoming more in tune with her inner self, thoughts, feelings and experiences. In doing so, she began to imagine and then feel all the negative energy just flowing from her body. She felt it leave through the bottoms of her feet and then saw it being swept away by the wind and into the ocean. She could clearly see in her mind’s eye all that negative energy with several labels including sadness, pain, fear, doubt, insecurity and bad habits. The negative mass was leaving her body, her mind, her soul and her aura. She knew that the ocean was gracious to accept it and would never return it. She now felt such a relief, as if a huge load was lifted from her shoulders. She hadn't realized how heavy it truly was until now. She felt the windows of her soul swing open, to receive all the love, peace and abundance that she ever wanted for herself, her family and her friends. She continued to breathe in all that was positive. As she felt the positive energy enter her soul, she began to visualize all that she was grateful for in this life. Suddenly she saw a bright white figure with the most beautiful purple light emanating from around it. Almost at once she was overcome by a state of divine bliss, exuberance and peacefulness, a kind of ecstasy with her soul, unlike anything she has ever felt before. She knew that she was once again, ready to face all that life had to offer her. So as she began to slowly open her eyes, a smile appeared upon her face and she saw the ocean smile back. She knew that she had become an enlightened woman.

You Are Terrific Just the Way You Are

So what if you don't always have the perfect outfit to wear or the perfect thing to say? So what if your house is a little messier than you'd like? You are so much more than clothes or small talk or decor. You have your own unique vision, beauty and path. Your caring reaches further that you think and so do your dreams. You're already somebody special. True beauty isn't the kind that takes makeup and clothes. True beauty goes much deeper. So see true beauty every day by looking in the mirror. :)
