This article by JuJu Hook is fantastic.

5 Reasons Women Over 50 Should Start Something Big And New

Last February I went to Mammoth, snowboarding with some friends. (To be totally transparent, they snowboarded. I drank Pinot Noir.) In the bar I met a couple of women who were pushing 50, with teenaged kids. We got to talking about life, and I told them that at 49, I’d packed up my…

6 Stealthy Places to Hide a Safe in Your Home

When it comes to your precious belongings, it’s better to be “safe” than sorry. So why not get a home safe to store your most valuable valuables? And why not go further still? Strategically hiding your safe in your home can add an extra layer of security."Typically, most burglars are smash-and-grab burglars and won’t spend the time to look for a safe," says Dominic Schwebs, digital marketing manager for Safe and Vault Store in Spokane, WA. "They will just grab what they see that they can carry and leave.”

Seeing Numbers?

This topic has come up in numerous conversations over the past couple weeks so I decided that you all will be interested too! Do you see the same numbers over and over? Do you always see 11:11 on your clock or did your total at the coffee shop come to $4.44? These could be signs coming to you. Take notice of what numbers are popping up around you and see if you can relate to the meaning behind them.

If you do a quick internet search you will find all kinds of information on repeating numbers but I like this one.

Here is a very condensed version from The Law of Attraction:

111

When you see the number 111 stop and look around yourself. Take a note of where you are, what you are doing and who you are with! 111 is a wakeup call from…

Real Estate Laws of Attraction

Don’t believe in the law of attraction? It is a real thing, and it shows up in real estate all the time. This is one of the unwritten laws that I see occur more often than not, and it is also something so hard to articulate to clients. It doesn’t make sense but it really is unbelievable how it works. 

A house in our area has been on the market for almost 2 years. It is priced well, has character, has a great view and is in wonderful condition but had been passed up by Purchasers over and over. I took my Purchasers over to the home last Sunday, and they fell in love with the house. They said to me, “this house has been on the market for almost 2 years so a few extra days of thinking things over shouldn’t matter, right?” Wrong. Like I…
