Chicken Little: Fowl Play  Chicken Little lived in a small town due south of Fowler, Florida. Coming from a small community and simple means, more than anything, he wished to become famous. Once realizing, early in life, that he easily got everyone's attention by doing things that weren't exactly acceptable or righteous, that was the direction. • • • ‼️ 🐔 ‼️ • • • He also noticed that people tend to generate toward negativity and drama and began to run around, frantically squawking to everyone within a 30 mile radius, "The sky is falling! We're doomed!" He traveled the city streets and along dirt roads with a bullhorn, repeating the same words over and over again!  At first, residents were extremely distraught, scared of the sheer destruction that might result by the sky actually crashi...

Corruption Grows In A Neglected Garden Everything needs to be properly tended to and maintained, that includes close observation when backyard gardening. In some cases, a few weeds can hide in ignored areas, going undetected until they suddenly become a rooted stranglehold, choking off healthy plant material. Even a dirt plot that has a balanced ecosystem can be attacked, changing the environment from healthy to weak, as corruption takes root. Pruning exposes noxious weeds, cutting back the opportunity of a hostile takeover. Active participation is necessary, no lazy standards allowed.  Transparency and accountability are strong barriers against invasive species, a culture of integrity builds strong systems. Weed control is serious business, preventing corruption by empowering fierce, g...

Give It A Rest! Animals, especially cats and dogs, instinctively know when their bodies need a nap to rest. As humans, we tend to keep going, pushing past boundaries, sometimes to the point of exhaustion or well after. So today, I might go with it and if you get a chance, do it! 💤 😴 💤 We can choose to stay awake despite feeling tired, often due to family commitments, work, social obligations, or entertainment. This often overrides natural rhythms that can lead to a sleep deprived environment and eventually, health problems. 💤 😴 💤 Erma Bombeck, one of my favorite comedians once said, “I would have gone to bed when I was sick instead of pretending the earth would go into a holding pattern if I weren’t there for the day." 💤 😴 💤 So, when possible, sneak in a few minutes to rest the mind, th...

The Gallactic Guardians of Timekeeping Susi, a real estate agent in a small town, detested the time change and wasn’t one bit shy of expressing the contempt she held for the twice-a-year interruption that invaded her sleep. She shared her disdain with government officials in her state, also sent a letter to the President!    The Gallactic Guardians of Timekeeping decided to treat her to an all-expense paid, one-hour staycation in an effort to thwart her thinking. She could order anything and it would suddenly appear at her house. At 2:00am, the clock flipped back to 1:00am and the party began.    The doorbell rang and 10-extra large, loaded pizzas were handed over by the delivery driver, a DJ rolled up behind him along with an auto-engaged confetti blower plus 20 of Susi's closest frien...

Each Moment is Spent As each morning arrives, it can bring a set of challenges. Starting the day can be daunting for some, even when making the smallest of decisions. Purpose plays a large part in the reasons to get out of bed, to stretch the legs first thing in the morning with a brisk walk or in deciding what to eat, what to wear. • • • 🔅 🔆 🔅 • • • Managing time well, to fit what needs to be done in the day, matters. Soon spring will begin a time to refresh, for the dormant to awake, perhaps sparking a new set of goals to be accomplished. We are the lucky ones to be be given another chance to get it right! While others aren't and meant to become memories. • • • 🔅 🔆 🔅 • • • Take time to appreciate your life because, for some, there are no next weeks or next months or next years, there ...

Now I nose! 👃 For several months, I thought I was using the praying hands emoji while responding to social media posts when people asked for prayers to be sent. I just realized that instead of using the prayers emoji, it was the nose emoji!!! 👃 • • • 🙏   • • • 👃 Oops! Sorry if I offended anyone. 🤭 Note to self: Never post without reading glasses. 👓 👃 • • • 🙏   • • • 👃 Happy Sunday all!

Remember to SPRING FORWARD or It Might Be...TOO LATE! Set your clocks ahead one hour this Sunday to avoid showing up late and  missing something important, like church, breakfast with friends or showing houses to clients. If you show up an hour late to something like that, you will be kicking yourself...or someone else will be. Guaranteed! Come on Spring, I do love this time of year! Did you know?Benjamin Franklin is credited with the idea for Daylight Saving Time back in 1784, but the idea was not implemented until 1895. It did not become law until 1966. Some states do not participate in Daylight Saving Time and continue to run on the same time year 'round. Talks are in the works to do away with DST. If you ask me, I'd say keep it lighter later in the day. Speaking of day...I wish you ...

Word of The Day: AmigoOn many occasions, I recognize the value of contributing to and remaining in a group discussion, especially with people who are respectful and level-headed. But as we all know, there's another side to this because some refuse or are unable to play well in this type of setting. ✨🚨📰 You Can Read All About Them Here! 📰🚨✨😡 THE QUICK TEMPEREDParticipating, as a means to dump toxic waste without warning. One minute, calm, then suddenly red-faced, revving up like a jet-propelled, pro modified car, overflowing with high-octane fuel,  screaming with impressive speed and power. 🤬 THE VERBALLY PROVOKEDMany trash talk with sharp tongues. Keep in mind that tip-toeing on egg shells around this type is required or expect a severe lashing! Wouldn't dare walk barefoot in their toxi...

Word Of The Day: Inhale  A patient mindset plays a large part towards real estate business success. Of course, saving time, money and resources, means qualifying and getting paperwork signed up front. After meeting with a couple in the office, they were asked to sign a Buyer Broker Agreement or Showing Agreement, even if only for one day.   He told me that daddy said, "If I ever had to sign an agreement, then you're probably not the right agent for me."   ∞ • • • ∞ • • • ∞   I thought to myself...What inhale did he expect then, a 'tour guide' for the day?   Some consumers have come to think of agents as convenient means to view houses, but refuse to make the commitment towards actual homeownership. When a lender is mentioned, they explain. “We’ll get pre-approved once we find the right ...

Herd That's Going to Hurt!   Several weeks ago on Highway 18, a mini-Cooper encountered two cows in the middle of the road after a wide curve, during the day, moving at 65 miles per hour. Neither of the cows survived or the car, but thank goodness the driver walked away from the accident with only a few scratches. https://www.stgeorgeutah.com/news/mini-cooper-collides-with-2-wandering-cows-on-sr-18/article_e42abce0-d357-11ef-b30d-977f1e4a2b4c.html It's nerve-wracking enough to carefully watch the sides of the roads for wildlife, like mountain lions, deer, foxes, coyotes, roadrunners, rabbits, crossing to avoid collisions but black cows are not visible at night until much closer and they are slow to react and are akin to brick walls. One evening, a herd was in the back yard, we heard the...

What if it REALLY DID cost an ARM and a LEG?! 😳 Many consumers forgo hiring real estate professionals while buying or selling property, claiming it costs way too much money. In reality, it can be more expensive by forgoing representation, especially when things go south, negotiations stall or someone simply fails to understand the process. But what if it really did cost an arm and a leg to buy or sell a house? Let's explore that.  💲 ••• 💲 •••  💲 Affordability would take a big hit and more people would find themselves life-time renters at the mercy of slumlords landlords. Or a communal living situation, packed like sardines, in their parents basements, praying the property is deeded over to them upon their passing.  ➕ •••  ➕ •••  ➕ On the plus side, perhaps an urgent push toward more sci...

MARCHin' in Time to Achieve Goals Here we go into the last month of the first quarter. Did you know that March was named after Mars?

A Scapegoat Instead of G.O.A.T. Some people can go from very satisfied, excited clients at closing to resentful shadows of their former selves. When a situation changes after closing, a favorite agent can take the blunt of dissatisfaction. The very same person who helped them realize their home dreams by finding a great buy, in a terrific neighborhood. • • • 🐐 🐐 🐐 • • •  Practicing loyalty, reasonable care, confidentiality, disclosure and diligence to the highest degree possible often achieves the goals set forth. Representing clients well through the process, beside them when negotiating terms and deadlines, while positively making it through the home inspection and closing. • • • 🐐 🐐 🐐 • • • Just when I felt satisfied, thinking everything went well, a phone call came, along with an an...

Like Eating Room Temperature Soup As an ultra-sensory person, I believe that taste is important in every aspect of life. When it comes to soup, I say, bring on the spices and the broth better be hot enough to steam up my reader glasses. No exceptions! 🍲 ••• 🍲 ••• 🍲 Consistent delivery means dishing up a veritable steady stream of relevant content, it's far more effective than occasional bursts of activity. Messages need to be up to par, all appealing and grabbing immediate attention. Call to Action - Generic content with a few buzzwords thrown in gets passed over, especially when trying to appeal to everyone. The message becomes like mushy vegetables floating in a coagulated broth. Cohesive Message - Just like a delightful soup needs a good amount of seasoning, a bland message falls sho...
