I was first introduced to the book "Jonathan Livingston Seagull by Richard Bach" by my first marathon coach, Jon (coincidentally, his first name was Jonathan). It was one of the defining books of the '70s.Despite mixed reviews by different generations, the book had been my inspiration and the one I turned to whenever I felt like my life was getting off track and needed a redirection. "Jonathan Livingston Seagull" is a simple story with a profound message. That is, we can all be so much more than we believe or are led to believe. Jonathan Livingston Seagull Is One Incredible Seagull!  We all have dreams, goals, and ambitions, but it can sometimes seem as if they are unattainable. Some of us also have difficulty starting as we can't see the forest for the trees.Suppose you consider Richar...

This is a test.  It's only a test. If it were an actual event your arms would be burning, and you would have a headache right now. Here's the test. Take two cans of soup and stand with your arms extended straight out shoulder height with one can of soup in each hand. OK, got it. I'll wait while you do the test. Go ahead. No really, give it a try.How long were you able to stand with your arms fully extended with a can of soup in each hand? A typical can of soup weighs around 10 3/4 ozs. Less than a pound. How long could you do it?  Most people are not going to be able to do it very long. Even though the weight is insignificant, over time it becomes heavier and heavier until your muscles collapse under the pressure of a 10 3/4 oz can of soup.Now, let's translate that into stress. How much...

YouTubeThursdays-March4,2022As promised last week, this is the second part of YouTube Thursdays featuring the creation process for our latest niche video.  "Country Life is for the Dogs," took on its own life this week as we continued to shoot video.  My (Debb) draft script gave us a solid basis to work from, but the final script morphed into something else.  As usual, less ended up being more. We find letting go is an important part of  the creative process. Rigidity isn't a  particularly great guide.  The editing process can be confusing too, especially at first, largely due to the volume of video we each shoot. Frequently, I (Debb again), need to walk away from my computer screen for a few minutes to get a fresh perspective. Since the editing is my arena, Bernie becomes an important ...

Part of our bread and butter blogging are posts about specific subdivisions.  We don't just stick to patio homes or condos, but cover "regular" home communities too.Do those posts and IDX pages get us listings?  As much as I'd love to say, SURE!!!, the reality is most of the listings we achieve from blogging are more fruit of the vine:  a buyer finds us, develops a relationship and then hires us to sell their existing home.The average home owner already knows 12+ real estate agents (hey, I see those magnet calendars on the refrigerators when I show homes...although funny how often the magnet agent is different than the one on the yard sign), so they're not necessarily going to the internet to find their next agent.But buyers, they're different.  They're often looking for SPECIFIC inform...

Stamps are artistic prints stuck on house walls, floors or ceilings to create an appealing effect. It is a home decor skill that is easy to learn. Sometimes you move into a new house only to find the walls looking so dull. In the past, repainting the house was always the solution. But let's face it. Ideas like customizing the wall with prints of animals, flowers, or even your own designs are more satisfying. It also involves installing new furniture in your preferred areas, such as changing the doorknobs and furnishings kitchen cabinets.Mostly, the stamps need to be in areas you frequently visit, like the wardrobe and the bedroom. Hence, there are many ways to give your interior that fine and fresh decor to psyche you up daily and for cementing long-lasting memories during your stay.1- ...

Are you in the process of moving? Whether it's across town or across the country, moving can be a stressful time. One of the things that can suffer during a move is your health. But it doesn't have to be that way!1: Stay ActiveOne of the best ways to stay healthy during a move is to stay active. This doesn't mean you have to go to the gym every day; simply taking walks around your new neighborhood can help keep you in shape. If you have time, try doing some light exercises or stretching routines as well.2: Eat HealthilyIt's easy to let your diet slip during a move, but it's important to stay healthy by eating nutritious foods. Make sure you have plenty of fruits and vegetables on hand, as well as lean protein sources like chicken and fish. Avoid processed foods and sugary snacks wheneve...
