What a wonderful surprise I had on Saturday.  I go in to the office once a week to get my mail.  Well it has been a bit longer because I’ve been busy with other things.  I decided I had better get to the office today because we would have a new calendar with the events for February.    When I took the mail out of my box, I found a package!  What a pleasant surprise.  It was a book that a friend had sent me out of the blue.  I was truly touched that she took time out of her busy life to think of me.    The book looks interesting and I’m excited to start reading it.  I have an open house tomorrow and plan to start then.  What a blessing to have such a wonderful friend.  I can’t wait to pass it along when I’m done reading the book!   Thank you Annie Stottler!

It was a fitting name for the webinar considering today was Groundhog day.      February 2nd is a day that people look forward to all winter long.  February 2nd that magical day when groundhogs all over have their 15 minutes of fame.    The most famous of these groundhogs is Punxsutawney Phil (number unknown).  Groundhog Day has been celebrated in Punxsutawney Pennsylvania since 1886.  The celebration goes on for several days with even a breakfast with Punxsutawney Phil on the 4th.   Legend has it that if the groundhog sees his shadow he returns to his hole as there will be six more weeks of winter.    For those who h...

This Thankful Thursday, I would like to mention my graphic designer daughter who helped me out immensely.  Our company is in the process of getting new websites.  My focus for the past few weeks has been on setting up the pages, pictures, links etc.    The webinars on Active Rain have helped me gain more knowledge of websites, blogs, and SEO.  There are so many articles about marketing, branding, logos. It’s all so exhausting.  Tomorrow, Friday the 3rd of February is a webinar about optimizing your links.    My daughter is the general manager at The Ranch Sports Grill in Ladera Ranch, CA.  She puts in long hours all week.  I am thankful for the time she spent helping me with graphic items.     The website designer had given me a banner with a farm in the background.  No offense Tim.    ...

I have so many wonderful clients!  My clients ROCK!  They challenge me everyday to become a better Realtor®.    Each and every home sale presents a unique learning opportunity.  I can picture some of them laughing as they read this, thinking back on their home purchase or sale.  Oh, the lessons I’ve learned.     One of my wonderful clients gave me this “award” after the closing on their home.  I was very touched that they put that much thought in to a gift for me.  It sits on my desk as a reminder of why I try to go above and beyond for my clients.  Thank you John W.!   I’m thankful to be in a career I love.  To have the opportunity to help teach and guide people through the real estate process is a blessing.  My clients mean the world to me.
