  Wishful Thinking   Wishful Thinking We don't necessarily need to look too far or go too deep to find examples of wishful thinking.  Examples are seemingly all around us.  Maybe it's more noticeable at the beginning of the year with resolutions of getting in better shape, being less this/more that or eliminating bad habits. It exists in many other circumstances too.   for example:  the student who doesn't study throughout the school term who wants to achieve a passing grade. Yeah, that's wishful thinking.  For sure.  Maybe it's the unrealistic seller who has visions of a lofty price when the current market suggests otherwise.  To my knowledge the real life stories of frogs and members of royalty are quite rare.  You can likely cite your own experiences.  Personal and professional. They...

#OptOutside       I hate black Friday.  I'm not a big fan of retail, nor consumerism, nor people behaving like pent up cattle stampeding over each other to get a few bucks off a TV.  Some people love the craziness.  I'm not one of them.  The last time I went to black Friday, I came close to being one of those people that end up in viral videos....there's only so many times a guy can hit me in the back of the ankle with a cart before I hit him upside the head with his cart.  I digress.       I've always felt back for store employees who have to witness humanity at it's worst, and in recent years, things have gotten even worse.  This year, it seems 6pm on Thursday was the start of Black Friday at a lot of retailers.  However, other retailers have decided to forego profits and take a stand...

Chantry Flats Recreation Area & Trails   Santa Anita Canyon RdSierra Madre, CA 91025        This past weekend a few friends and I visited Chantry Flats.  Nearly every weekend we do a hike and have been to many locations throughout Southern California, but the Chantry Flats recreation area is one of my favorites.   Beautiful scenery?  Check.  50 foot waterfall?  Check.  Long, strenuous trails?  Check.  Short, easy trails.  Check.  This place really has it all.        The brilliance of this place really starts with the drive up along the canyon walls, over steep drops & deep valleys, it's not the greatest drive for anyone that easily gets car sick, but gives you a taste of the amazing scenery that's to come.  Upon arriving at the lot, you'll likely notice if you've gotten there post-7am, ...

Baldwin Jewelers: Recommended Custom Jeweler in Sierra Madre, California   If you are looking for an honest and upfront jeweler go no further than Baldwin Jewelers. Finally, a jeweler who takes pride in what he offers his clients. Berj, a Master Jeweler, makes every effort to please his customers and offers the highest quality products at FAIR PRICES.   I have used Baldwin Jewelers a couple times before, but was in a rush this time around. I took too long to start my 2010 Christmas shopping. I rushed to the Jewelry District in downtown Los Angeles thinking I could find a solution to my problem there. I spent hours going through several different displays of jewelery looking for a pair of white gold Diamond-studded, Heart-shaped earrings. I was on the hunt for a pair similar to what my s...

Perhaps our souls are burning along with the forest as we experience the shock, sadness, anger, fear and confusion of watching the mountains, once rich with life, turn desolate moonscape. In a stupor of smoke, we watch homes evaporate, and wonder if ours might be next.  With ravaged hearts, we mourn brave heroes, and imagine the innocents . . . thousands of creatures with nowhere to go, but up in flames. When I was young, I used to take my Golden Retriever up Santa Anita to Chantry Flats.  From there we’d wind our way down to First Water, then Hermit Falls to spend lazy afternoons jumping into the frigid pool and thawing on granite by turns. Other times I’d hike up to Sturtevant Falls and let the mist moisten my face as well as my sandwich. In 1994, we formally joined the historic canyo...

I just watched a great movie on Lifetime called My New Life, It was a great story about a troubled teen with divorced parents and her step mom understanding divorce , Having been a product of one herself did some great healing with the Teen. It is very painful and scarring, the wound the children of divorce carry and we as adults need to be aware of the pain that it causes and the scarrs that it leaves. As Adults it is the hardest thing to do to step outside of our own heads and feelings about ourselves and our needs and to put our children first. In this me first society but we need to realized the harm we are doing in satisfying ourselves first. I was schocked to find you that one million children annually in the United States are a product of Divorce? Did you know that means that in ...

The next several consecutive posts will be market data tables from our local real estate market. This table shows how Sierra Madre fared in comparison to the national real estate trend numbers that were released a couple of days ago showing a 14% reduction in home prices. sierra madre real estate 91024 As you can see from the numbers, there were very few closed transactions in Sierra Madre . . . a whopping 6 for the entire month of March. This is almost half the number that sold during the same time last year, and it took about 30% longer to sell (86 days on market compared with 63). But just like many surrounding areas, prices were up on all accounts, from low "sold" price to the median home price. The message? If you're willing to price reasonably, you will likely be in escrow in less...
