"There is no such thing as too much truth"Bob WoodwardRenowned journalist Bob Woodward once proclaimed, "There’s no such thing as too much truth."  His quote invites us to reconsider our relationship with truth.Our continuing search for truth, takes us on a path that is not always straightforward.  We are currently living in a world that is inundated with misinformation and propaganda.  We keep hearing about fake news.  Who are we to trust?  Journalists should bear a solemn responsibility to uphold the highest standards of journalistic ethics and integrity.  It once was that way.  Now, we are constantly dealing with an onslaught of misinformation.  Truth is not a mere concept; it is the cornerstone upon which our understanding of the world is built.  Without truth, society turns into ch...

  Valencia Real Estate Market Update for November 2023 shows closed sales in each of the Valencia communities in Delray Beach, Boynton Beach and Lake Worth, Florida.  It also shows how many homes are active and under contract.  Read what went on in each Valencia in Boynton Beach, Delray Beach and Lake Worth in November.We had a busy summer.  Then all of a sudden came the beginning of October and everything virtually stopped. I believe several factors were involved which caused buyers to stop in their tracks.We now have more inventory than we've seen in a long time.  There has been a lot of talk about insurance and homes needing new roofs.  It's true.  This has been happening in Florida the past few years.  So if a home has a new roof or is in the process of getting a new roof - it takes...

Simple Act of KindnessWhen I lost Corrie in March, I had just refilled her medications.  And she was on a lot of them.  Her heart medication was the most expensive, and I had two sealed bottles of it.I thought about what to do with them.  Some of the other meds were from the pharmacy in prescription bottles.  I was hesitant to give to those to people I didn't know, but the heart medication was factory sealed in boxes.I decided to put a post up on NextDoor.   At the time, the Vetmedin sold for about $ 76 for 50 pills, for a dog Corrie's size.  So I figured I'd ask $ 100 for the two bottles and see what happened.A woman contacted me asking about them.  We texted back and forth.  She had an older dog she had inherited after the owner passed away.  The dog was taking Vetmedin and she could ...

An Attitude of Gratitude:  Thankful for My Clients One of the best parts of my business are the people I've met along the way, many of who have become real friends.In court reporting, I met people on depositions daily, but I didn't get to spend time with them.  Especially because in those days I wasn't allowed to speak, except maybe on a break.  I was too busy writing and making sure I had everything I needed, like spellings of words or names, to put a transcript together.In real estate, I meet people and develop relationships all the time.  It may start with a text, phone call or email because of a blog they came across.  Sometimes it's a referral from a past client, friend or colleague. However it happens, I have a chance to get to know this person who is looking to buy or sell a home...
