We just had the pleasure of hiking the Saguaro Loop Trail at Peralta Regional Park. It is the perfect time of the year to do the hike.  It was a pleasant hike with a cool breeze and many of the flowers are in full bloom.  They are in various shades of blue, yellow, white and red.        Peralta R...

I thought being a real estate agent was going to be filled with long days of happiness and joy.  I had visions of Ren and Stimpy singing, Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy, in my head.I quickly learned that could be the case, but many times it would be much more challenging.  I like to call it, what they do...

"But mouse-friend, you are not alonein proving foresight may be in vain:the best-laid schemes of Mice and Mengo oft awry,and leave us only grief and pain,for promised joy!"Robert Burns, To a MouseOkay, maybe that is a little over the top for a real estate transaction, but only by a little bit.  I...

I have been an avid baseball fan for my whole life, but have never made it to a Cactus League Game (spring training in Arizona).  It is something that I have been looking forward to doing for years, but I had never made it a priority.  Last Monday, that all changed.  My buddy, Jim, called me and ...

I agree with, Dr. Paula McDonald.  ActiveRain is all about community.  She has outlined some really great ways to engage with other members in her blog below.  I find it pretty remarkable that we can get our questions answered quickly and from many different points of view.  I enjoy all of the po...

I love the message conveyed in the book, The Coffee Bean, that was reviewed by Dr. Paula McDonald's.  I have often wondered why similar experiences affect people in different ways.  I do believe that we really can make big, positive changes when faced with adversity.  Damon West did exactly that ...
