How do we add value to each other?  Or do we add value to one another?  When you meet with a friend, do you leave feeling excited and inspired, or do you leave feeling drained? Is our relationship with our friends value added or are our friends energy vampires?  How much value do we bring to the table?  We may not think of friendship as an exchange of value, but in every rela...Read More

We all have that voice within us; that whisper that sometimes have us looking around to see if there is another person in the room.  That voice within that we often ignore, only wishing later that we hadn’t.  I’ve always heard the whispers from this voice within, my entire life.  Somehow, I seem to always come to an answer, but without rational thought.  It is see...Read More

Last week was an especially trying week.  I waited, or I should say I procrastinated which cost me dearly.  It cost me time, it cost me money, and most definitely it caused me a lot of stress.  Actually, it was not as stressful as it could have been, because of my morning rituals.  More than ever, last week, I had to find ways to cope through what could be quite overwhelming....Read More

Recently I received a call from someone letting me know that while she enjoys reading my blogs, she finds that there is too much mention of God, and that I sound too much like a Christian.  She explains that while she doesn’t mind it, it could be a turn off for many, especially those of a different religious background. I thanked her sincerely for the call, as I know it is not easy to...Read More

What I Love About Men It’s interesting how I started blogging with one thing in mind.  My goal was to foster and / or create a relationship with all of you.  Along the way however, so many other things have evolved, or I should say brought forth to light. One such thing is the difference between my male and female readers.  Almost on a weekly basis, I receive a few phone c...Read More

Happy Easter everyone –  I hope you had lovely time with family and friends. Last week I blogged about what I love about men.  I received some rave reviews from men and women, but especially from the men.  On my night table is a card that reads “I am wealthy in my friends”, a famous Shakespeare quote.  It is strategically placed where I see it from many diffe...Read More

A few days ago, I was asked why I have a real estate site and never blog about real estate.  As the name of the website states, I am more than a realtor.  I am deeply passionate about real estate, yet I have more passions than real estate, hence the name: “My Passion Blog”.  When I absorb myself in real estate, and give it 100%, at the end of the day, it is deeply catha...Read More

I didn’t blog the last two weeks.  I had to remain laser focused to complete a time sensitive project.  I feel as though the universe was challenging me to prove just how badly I was being authentic to my “why”.  At times I felt very frustrated, but I knew that the more intense the challenge, the more rewarding the result.  My mantra was “this too shall ...Read More

There are a few things in life (if any) that are rewarding, yet not difficult to achieve. Self-employment definitely tops this list. While I have been fortunate to experience an inspirational sense of accomplishment, my endeavours have been met with great challenges. Here are what I have found to be some of my biggest challenges being self-employed: 1. Finding Myself When I first got into real...Read More

A “friend” called me last week, and the main purpose for the call was to let me know that she finds me too positive, and that my “Oh my God,  life is awesome” attitude does not seem authentic.  She explained that “normal” people do not walk around always feeling positive. Normally I would go into a defensive mode, and try and justify myself, but the...Read More
