Like 99% of the people in America I always have multiple projects going on. In my case, some succeed and some don't. That is probably a matter of focus and enthusiasm toward the project. For a real life example let's say I am doing Project  A, B, and C. I noticed that Project A was going great for several months and then became difficult and the results stopped. I asked myself "What am I doing differently that caused this project's success to stop ?" Finally I realized I was doing a success discipline for Project B and then concluded Project B. When I stopped Project B I stopped the success discipline but I did not know that was the reason until a month later when I saw a Health Expert on TV talking about a culprit to Low Testosterone. The culprit is Cortisol which is caused by stress. ...

Yesterday, while out and about, I decided to pay Hagan Community Park in Rancho Cordova, a visit.  I hadn't been to the park in awhile.  It was glorious to see the newly renovated landscaping that had been completed.  There are new walkways, and flower plantings.  The fountains enhance the scene.  During the pandemic, the park also completed renovation of the swimming pool complex.  There's a beautiful new 10 lane pool, and splash pad. Rancho Cordova is a city in the Greater Sacramento region.  Hagan Community Park is located next to Cordova High School, at 2197 Chase Drive, Rancho Cordova.https://crpd.com/parks/hagan-community-park

Kathy Streib as some great advice about stagers  Who Said Stagers Just Move Furniture Around? We Can Also bring Total Chaos to Your House!   One of the first things people say to me when they learn that I am a Home Stager is “ You move furniture around....right?” Well.... that’s not always the case...and this time this Stager brought total chaos to the house! No, I haven’t flipped!   Last week I got a call from Kelly King, the Location Coordinator of the Palm Beach CountyFilm & Television Commission.   She’d found my name via the Internet (Thank you ActiveRain) while looking for a Home Stager.  A film company needed a house A.S.A.P in which they could film a video for a large corporate presentation.   Well, Kelly, I just happen to know of one!  And... they were offering to pay the homeo...

The US homeownership rate has reached a twelve-year high, currently standing at 66%. In this midweek market report, we delve into the factors contributing to this milestone. While the low interest rates during the pandemic have played a significant role in boosting home ownership, it's important to note the latest findings from Black Knight, indicating a year-over-year 1% increase in national prices in May. However, caution is advised as this figure may be subject to adjustments, potentially resulting in a negative change.As we enter June and July, we anticipate the housing market cooling off due to the pandemic's impact and the rapid rise in interest rates experienced in the previous year. Despite the national headlines, conversations with friends and family reveal a common concern: th...

I always remember this junction in England, it was called Spaghetti Junction and there was usually a hold up for one reason or another. The number of times when I commuted that I have sat in a traffic jam and got frustrated at the delay and waste of my time sitting in traffic cannot be counted on toes and fingers.I am happy with the development of AI, because I think it will bring the day much closer where we will have flying cars. No traffic jams, or delays, a simple flight, controlled automatically from start to finish by a flying vehicle.Imagine, you exit your home, most likely with your personal robot alongside and enter your vehicle, there is plenty of space and you punch into the dashboard your destination. Nanoseconds later the vehicle lifts from the ground, finding the perfect h...

Owning a home is a significant milestone in one's life. However, the journey to homeownership is often filled with valuable lessons that could have made the process smoother and more informed. In this blog post, I want to share three crucial things I wish I knew before buying my first home.The Rental Payments and the Mortgage:One of the most eye-opening realizations I had was that by purchasing my first home, I wasn't simply paying rent anymore. I was effectively avoiding the scenario where my hard-earned money would contribute to my landlord's mortgage payment.Building Equity for My Dream Home:One more thing I wish I knew earlier was the opportunity to build equity through homeownership. Each mortgage payment I made was like a small deposit into a savings account, which means basically...
