          Most of us have experienced grief as a result of a troubled, broken, or ended relationship in our lives. This experience can cause tremendous pain - not just emotionally, but physically as well. Ongoing emotional pain can even cause toxicity in the body - leading to chronic ailments and even disease. In this episode, Dr. Paula explains that "healing" from relational pain or loss doesn't have to involve the other person; nor does it rely on his or her response to the situation. You have everything within reach needed to take steps toward a healthier you and to let go of situations you cannot control. Delving deeper, she shares her acronym for the traits of true F.R.I.E.N.D.S - what true friends do and what you must also do to be one. Don't miss the "Ask Dr. Paula!" segment at t... 09/28/2021

After seeing a sharp increase in new listings the first half of September, we saw the amount of new listings drop by half last week. Looking at that number, many sellers who wanted to sell this fall have listed already. On the flip side, the amount of buyers is still strong as we see a steady inquiry from buyers still looking to buy. What it means is that now is the tie to list your home before the "Fall Market" comes to an end. Lets take a look at the Monday Morning Market update for the Manchester NH Real Estate Market.  Many sellers are asking about selling now or waiting until next year. The best advice is to "call me to list now".  Whether you are Buying a home or Selling a home, the one FACT is... to do well in this market you need an advantage. Who you hire to list and sell your ... 09/28/2021

Read a Child a Book You Like...What’s Yours?Any holiday that has to do with reading is one where you can count me in. This day, from what I’ve read, is in honor of Kate Douglas Wiggin, a children’s author. One of her books was “Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farms.” Reading is so important in our lives, and it all begins before we even make an entrance into the world.  If nothing else, it can create a bond with the child that will last a long time. Children look forward to that time of day or night when you or some other parental figure sits down with them and opens the book to the first page.  Their vocabulary increases...it helps their attention span and listening skills. In addition, reading to a young child can open the doors to new worlds and concepts. One of my favorites, besides most anyt... 09/28/2021
