Stainless Steel Appliances Are Home Sellers

Check out my latest article in the Staten Island Advance news publication today, St. Patrick's Day! Another great opportunity this was for me to marry my real estate career with my newest career in writing in its early stages. The two things for a career that I really enjoy doing have merged together very nicely so far. I am looking forward to advancing them both separately and together as time moves forward.

Then really relax your mind and free it from clutter and negativity, until it is nearly blank from thoughts. Then slowly begin to see yourself asking your angels for guidance. Watch them very closely as they lead you to a closed door. You then notice that a key is already in the keyhole of the door.

Your new door has opened and your action has begun. Your soul is leading your heart to the best answers for your life. Follow it now and you will triumph.

Carrot Money

She was just four years old and enjoying the outdoors while helping her Great GrandPappy in his backyard in Pennsylvania, when she suddenly noticed a bunny rabbit. “Look Pappy there’s a bunny!” she exclaimed. “Yeah I see it and it better stay out of my garden!” said Pappy. Little Alexis giggled as she stared at the bunny for a few seconds. She turned away and continued helping her Great GrandPappy, all the while remembering to check on that bunny nearly every few seconds. She wanted to make sure the bunny didn’t go in the garden. All of a sudden she noticed the bunny was gone. She looked all around and then she said “Hey Pappy the bunny is gone!” Pappy said “Yeah he is. Where do you think he went?” Oh he went to Grammy’s house in Las Vegas” said Alexis with such certainty in her voice. Pappy chuckled and said “Now how did he get from here all the way to Las Vegas already?” Alexis put her hands on her hips and looked directly at her Great GrandPappy in a very matter of fact manner and said “Duh! He used his carrot money Pappy that’s how!” Needless to say, she gave her Great GrandPappy his laugh for the day! Alexis will be six years old in this month, March 2009. What a fond memory!

Dogs Are All Worth It!

I have recently been working on a real estate video that has ended up with a funny story connected to it. My friend a professional photographer and videotographer was taping me going through and presenting my own house as if it were for sale. We are practicing on my house before going live on a house that really is for sale for the final tape. My intent is to put the final tape online on you tube and other sites as a marketing tool for business. So anyway during the taping, my friend decided to include my dogs Princess and Jasmine for fun. A few days later, after some editing and transferring to a dvd, she brought the dvd over for review. When we got to the part that showed my dogs as they barked once or twice and then you heard the sounds of their footsteps over the tile, well both of my dogs ran towards the TV. They began barking at themselves on the dvd. Then my beagle Jasmine saw herself up close on a zoom shot laying on the bed. She began to growl and howl at herself! She would then bark louder, with her hair standing on end and at times, with one leg up while standing on three legs! It was the funniest site to see and listen to. Jasmine was barking, howling and carrying on in a ferocious manner all at just watching herself on TV. We laughed hysterically and my friend thought we should have taped it for America's Funniest Videos. Dogs are wonderful and truly all worth it!

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!

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. :)
