It is the night before the eve of Thanksgiving and I have come home from food shopping, grabbed a bite to eat and as I was reading some emails from various people I had this overwhelming feeling of gratitude come over me. Now please understand, I , like everyone else, have been affected by the state of our economy. That said I must go on to tell you how grateful I am to be right where I am. Gone are the days of doing what I really do not want to do, playing with people I don't like, saying yes when I mean no and vice versa. I have absolutely wonderful people in my life. I have and continue to get absolutely GREAT clients! I love what I do professionally. I love buying and selling antiques as well as my real estate.
I am very grateful to be an American. I know that being an American is not the most popular thing to brag about right now in this world. I would like to tell you what I am proud of. It is very plain to see that our situation in this country is the result of much greed, self centeredness and a total lack of caring for other human beings. I do have every confidence though that our country and all its citizens will band together and work our way through this mess, learn our lessons and become better people for it. This is a result of a few, not the many.
I love the citizens of the United States. I love our diversity. I love that we can be who we are even if others don't like or understand who we are. What I really love is that when the chips are down it has been proven and it will bear true again that we will band together and find a way out of the mess we are in and support each other in doing so. There are lessons to be learned from these times. Each of us can contibute greatly to effect change. This challenge we are facing will strenthen us and help us to become very grateful for everything we have.
This is a time to support our newly elected president, whether we voted for him or not, as he has a long road ahead of him. Remember the total is as great as the sum of all its parts.
Please take the time to look around you and see where you can help. It is sooo rewarding. Giving really feels much better than taking. Give a smile as it doesn't cost a cent and makes people feel like a million.
I want to take the time to thank all my clients. You have enabled me to pay my mortgage, buy food for my family, you all are truly my angels. Many of you are my friends now and we break bread together. I am very grateful you came into my life.
A WONDERFUL,SAFE, HAPPY HOLIDAY TO ALL!

Amen Sandy!
You are not only blessed with your state of being, but also with a very strong and resilient state of mind!
I do believe as well that each individual creates his/her own awareness of life as it exists and we choose to look at the positive opportunities there are to create life in our terms or some of us (not me) are burdened with this feeling of life being out of our control and cause this negative ranting and self-centered "whoa is me" attitude to pervade.
Well blessed be the ones who can cut through the phantom bullshit that exits about a dismal life and rejoice in all the opportunties we are given in this country and throughout llife in general. I feel strongly that this dip in our economy and market perception is the first step to a rise in the effectual ingenuity that this country was built on and continues to rise to the occassion with.
We have evil, unethical, and greedy business people in this world and in this country. They will always be taking advantage of any and all avenues to wealth and power. As long as we have our own individual minds and sense of values and self, each of us can play an integral role to counteract all the negative karma that exists. It is in your state of mind, that I like to keep you company.
Live free in the USA and we will prosper.
