I first met Desiree Daniels (some time in the 80s), having worked with her mother and father beginning in  1984.   Her mom, Rosalie, who I affectionately called “Mama Rosalie” was my unofficial mentor, always kind with a word or three of advice.  Rosalie, now retired, was well regarded for her logic and great business sense.  Her dad, Conrad, was a very strong and competitive agent who listed many homes and sold a lot of new construction. Rosalie and Conrad went on to open ReMax Tri County In Hamilton,  New Jersey, which became the single most productive office in the State.  I have mad respect for their achievements.   Well, the apple didn’t fall far from the tree.   Desiree has been a standout and top and respected agent at ReMax Tri County for as long as I can remember, and is one of... 04/04/2024

I Get Messed Up, Then Step Up Because I've Seen Worse, I Keep Moving Forward.   My friend Jason E. Gordon  taught me almost 20 years ago this quote:"Adversity doesn't build character, it reveals it."  Trauma leaves scars, it causes fear, pain and it definitely brings change. While I won't let it define me, I do allow it to change me, to improve me and to teach me. Because I've Seen Worse, I Keep Moving Forward.   "Champions aren't made in gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them - a desire, a dream, a vision. They have to have the skill, and the will. But the will must be stronger than the skill."  ~ Muhammad Ali Because I've Seen Worse, I Keep Moving Forward in life. I'm steadfast in my belief that there's always a way forward, even if it's not on the path or ... 04/03/2024

 Today Water Runoff is a very important issue when Subdividing ground or adding additional paving or expanding your building (and adding more downspouts).Running water works against Soil Conservation. People initially think that the same amount of rain is going to fall on my property, why do I need Swales and Basins ? It’s not about the volume of water , but instead it’s about the Speed of the discharged water . Water being released from downspouts and water running down asphalt Driveways is moving faster than thatwhich is being emptied on a grass lawn . The faster the water flow the more erosion will occur. After studying the Lot’s Elevation, it may be determined that a swale might be enough to channel the stormwater into a rain gutter . But when that won’t be enough, then a Retention... 04/03/2024

I won't keep you in suspense & instead reveal now, the answer to the title of this posting. It is COMPOUND GUILT! Guilt, that has not been resolved & is multiplying while YOU ignore or choose not to change your ways. No one can escape their very own signal or prompting from their conscience. Why would they want to anyway?THE CONSCIENCEThere is no place on earth, or in a distant Solar System, nor a Galaxy or another Universe where a person can escape their guilt during their lifetime. So that we grasp this concept without effort, let me define what guilt is and how it comes about so you can clearly see the part you play and the part you are not playing.THE CONSCIENCEGiven to all mankind, past, present or future without exception is a conscience. Why is this? The conscience helps us to re... 04/02/2024

Monday Motivation: it has been a while since I posted one of these posts... I have been busy in a good way for which I am very grateful for. Now with that said let me go to my favorite philosopher Marcus Aurelius. I never get tired of reading from his Meditations and never get tired of sharing them here.He who sees the present has seen all things, both all that has come to pass from everlasting and all that will be for eternity: All things are related and the same.How many who once rose to fame are now consigned to oblivion: and how many who sang their fame are long disappeared.Do not dream of possession of what you do not have: rather reflect on the greatest blessings in what you do have, and on their account remind yourself how much they would have been missed if they were not there. ... 04/01/2024

When I happened to read an acronym for Courage with “A” being the word ACKNOWLEDGE, my thoughts started a whirlwind. How often do acknowledge what we do well?  Possibly we are restrained from this acknowledgement because we may think others may think we are boasting? Or maybe our focus is on what we don’t do well?How often do acknowledge the efforts of others? From thanking those who comment on this blog to those who support us in our daily real estate work efforts? Then what about handwritten notes to current clients, affiliates and past clients? Did you know that acknowledge is one of those words from the Middle English (late 15th century) and was originally the verb for knowledge. I didn’t know that this word was ever a verb.Being a fan of the very early philosophers and poets, Eurip... 04/01/2024
