It is said that you can only feel one emotion at a time and when you laugh, it is virtually impossible to feel stress, fear, anger and sadness.
I love to laugh. That deep gutt splitting, resonating laugh that makes other people giggle and they don’t even know why. There is an agent in our office who’s laughter is infectious and I am so grateful that she uses it often.

I’ve had many questions asked recently regarding teams and their dynamics. I hope this article will help clear things up. Below are the general attributes of Hunters and Skinners. What are you?

Addressing how your NEEDS effect your life and business.
I will be honest. I have an issue with not being in control… this shift in the real estate industry sent me in a tailspin and made it very challenging to earn the living I was used to over the past 6 years… as it did for many of you. I have been in a funk the past few months. That is the best way I can explain it. I was stubbornly resisting the fact that I needed to revamp myself… which isn’t fun at my age, …

I was a pro at renewing and adding new domains. I renewed my domains back in 2008 and didn’t pay attention to the warnings I got from Go Daddy about their expiration until today.

My motto for the past 3 years has been ‘Life Is Better When You Share.” I have been blessed in so many ways by my mentors across the country who share their ideas, bountiful energy, optimism and strategies with me. I have also been blessed with great friends and family who share their time, love, encouragement, resources and “things” with me.
Having “things” is wonderful, but what do we really need to survive? How can we help each other right now and help our clients acquire the things they need and get rid …
