Lewiston NY  a place with so much history I recently visited Western New York and stayed in the town of  Lewiston.  This was really a historic town. Many think of Niagara Falls as originating in Niagara Falls, not so, the fall was first in Lewiston but due to erosion on the Niagara River, it moved seven miles. Lewiston was also the first European settlement in western New York starting in the 1600's.High above the Niagara River, I ran into a rather large monument depicting activities of the underground railroad and those who were instrumental in helping slaves escape to Canada where they would gain freedom.   Yes, Lewiston was the last stop on the Underground Railroad before entering Canada.  As I stood on the bank of the Niagara River looking across at Canada I could visualize the boa... 05/04/2018

A SPECIAL PLACE WILL ALWAYS BE TO ME The majority of us sell real estate for a living. How many of you have helped a young family purchase their first home? We all know they will be making memories in the home as they bring up the family in that house. Does this bring back memories where you grew up? I had a very active life when I was a child. I grew up in a small suburb of Buffalo, New York. It was called North Tonawanda, NY. Where is this place? I tell everyone I grew up in Buffalo since this city is recognized by most people because of the heavy snow falls. Anyway, I grew up in a small town of about 40,000 people. It was a place where everyone knew each other. I had no problems making friends at all. The high school teams were known at the Lumberjacks. North Tonawanda was once the l... 03/09/2017

Exploring Niagara Falls with Miss Feng ShuiThis is my second time visiting Niagara falls, and I have to say there is a stronger appreciation for the amazing beautiful and power of this natural wonder of the world. If you decide to stay over on the American side, and lesson the expense of driving across the bridge, finding parking, etc, pack yourself a pair of great supportive walking shoes and take the pedestrian walkway to Canada. This is a view you can see when crossing the pedestrian bridge to Canada. There were clear differences with the American side vs. the Canadian side. All I'll say is, America, there is much work to be done and great potential. I hear the region was granted a great sum of money, which is something to keep in mind for real estate developers, and perhaps blending... 05/08/2015

 Life is not awlays easy--yet you choose how you approach it   “But until a person can say deeply and honestly, "I am what I am today because of the choices I made yesterday," that person cannot say, "I choose otherwise.”- Steven R. Covey       Life can be hard, it can be challenging, and it’s not always an easy journey.  Yet at the same time, life can be so rewarding and also surprising. How you choose to approach and perceive your life will become part of the formula to help shift the outcome from day to day. You can either choose to sit on the sidelines and wait for things to change or you can get up, gear up and participate in the process of transformation. Be open to those who step into your life to help while also being decisive. Put in the time and effort to research your options... 08/03/2014

 Mourning Energy Left Within a Home I just posted an article asking the question, " Is Your Current Home Owner Really Ready to Sell? I received many interesting comment and one from Kathleen Daniels need a post to respond.  "Laura,  What about the heart energy of someone who has left a home because they are mourning the loss of their spouse?  The home is vacant and essentially abandoned yet the seller still does not want to sell it because of the memory of his beloved wife.  There is energy there too ... I just don't understand it."  Absolutely there is energy left behind.  Letting go of a beloved one who has passed away and any objects, no matter how big or small related to that person will consist of a "detecting process" mentally, physically and emotionally. Spiritually you are alway... 10/28/2013
