Be mine today and EVERYDAY (VALENTINES 2012)

pink roses with inscription I read a lot and with that you get some good, bad and ugly.  Valentines may have been elevated to commercial status, but the last time I checked the POST OFFICE and all the banks are still open.  So Valentines haters step aside or just go away.    You don’t have to buy a rose or even a card.  It’s time for you to FIND a way to show you love them today and EVERYDAY.  Take a page from my playbook.  Check out what my daughter got for breakfast this morning.  I’ll clue you in…….It’s the same thing she gets most mornings…..Eggos(with chocolate chips), banana slices a slice of bacon, small cup of apple juice and a large milkshake glass of carnation breakfast.  Made every day with love….but today this is how the Eggos and the bananas looked……………

I cut her bacon into what was suppose to look like a rose.  You wouldn’t know it if you looked at it, but my little girl knew right away that dad was giving her a bacon rose and that sounds like something straight from Last Man Standing.

HAPPY VALENTINES TO YOU AND YOUR LOVED ONES!!!!!!!

Embrace the moment, don’t get caught up in the hustle and bustle, if you blink the moment will be over….but not for you because your goal is like mine…your goal is to……………………….

Two Tired of the Negative?

IMG_0883Tooooooooo often we change our tires, not because we want to, but because we HAVE to.  If you take care of your car and your tires on a routine basis they both will last longer and perform better.  You have heard this all before, and you might have heard some negative talk about the Real Estate Market.  It’s time to STOP looking backward and to start looking forward.

Here’s a wake up call……

WE ARE HAVING A SALE!!!!

That’s right, it’s time to see if home ownership is right for YOU!!!  Don’t wait, don’t delay, we may NEVER see interest rates this low……EVER!!!!!  It’s time to get rid of those old ways of thinking and all that negative energy I hear about the real estate market.  It’s time to change those TIRED old ways of thinking.  It’s 2012, a new year is here and Valentines Day will be here soon.  No I’m not suggesting that you get your sweetheart a set of tires, but maybe it’s time to learn about how to buy a home, put down some roots and get some REAL traction.   Yes, yes, yes, yes, you’ve been dreaming of having a place to call your own…..are you two tired of the negative to give it a shot?

Maybe it’s not you, maybe, just maybe you need a new approach, a POSTIVE approach to your real estate dreams.

Give me a call and I can get you on the right road to YOUR Real Estate Dreams………………………………………………………………..that’s what I do…………………………………….I help people to………………

How do YOU like to be THANKED?

touchdown The roar of the crowd after the referee throws up his hands is the ULTIMATE thank you in football;  the crowd is thanking their team for scoring a touchdown; except if your one of the lineman that blocked for that Super Bowl MVP Quarter Back.   That lineman might be getting a Rolex or maybe a car.

Thank according to www.dictionary.com  verb to express gratitude, appreciation, or acknowledgment to. 

We are taught as children, and rightly so, to thank someone when they help us.  This is not limited to any specific act and can and should be extended to ANYTIME that you feel it necessary.  Saying thank you is both polite and the right thing to do, but on some occasions a thank you isn’t enough.  Those occasions deserve a personal thank you card to the thank you recipient or maybe a card to their boss or parent.  Maybe the verbal and written is not enough, maybe a gift is the way to go.

I, personally, love to thank those that help me.  I went out of my way to say “thank you AND have a nice day” to the McDonald’s drive thru worker today and I will be glad to do it again the next time I visit the Golden Arches.  That’s just how I think things should be, even though that worker is being paid, partly by my purchase.  It’s a thank you for fulfilling the service that I needed.  Their are times where the common worker gives uncommon, ie superman like, service….. it’s time for a personal note to both the worker and their boss.  Everyone needs a PLUS card in their human resource file come review time.  I further think that every worker should keep their own “attaboy” file for review time.  Feedback is a gift and should be appreciated and repected.

So now that I have laid the background, back to our title…..”How do YOU like to be THANKED?”  Do you like to get that unexpected piece of mail from a friend thanking you for that hair stylists you recommended?  Is the phone call enough or have you every received a “thank you” gift that you just couldn’t remember why did they send this??  Let’s dive into the gift part…..What is the perfect thank you gift: cash, gift card, photo in a frame, item personal to you and the giver, or how about something I haven’t even listed here?

I want to here from YOU…..”How do YOU like to be THANKED?” On top of that how would you like me to “THANK YOU” for being a part of this BLOG topic as I want to help YOU to………………………
