Practice random acts of kindness and senseless acts of beauty.
Whether it was original or not remains unknown but I first heard (and was reminded over and over) of this phrase by an employer, a friend, a wise and successful mentor, Marigail Mathis.
When this phrase came to mind today, I instantly thought of her gentle spirit; strong and courageous, adventurous and determined, yet mild mannered and kind. Well, at least unless you pushed her buttons too hard at which point you might get a little glimpse of the fire that fueled her adventurism. [[Smile]]
What a blessing she was to me. Her encouragement and subtle criticism motivated me like no one else could. She dug out the determination in me and planted courage that I didn't even know I had. It would be years later before I discovered how to apply the confidence and attitude that she inspired and made me who I am today.
We shared a difficult journey with an unknown course. We arrived at different destinations. Even so, her strength and grace are still inspiring me with gentle reminders like today.
Do something for others.
Practice random acts of kindness and senseless acts of beauty.
And thanks for the memories, Marigail.
Wife, Mom, Nonna, Broker/Owner, REALTOR, just a few of my titles. My life is all about home. Home is where I find love and laughter after a stressful day. Home is also where I work. Not my home, but finding the perfect home for many fabulous clients. Keeping up with changes are a challenge in both my home and in those I help buy and sell for my clients. Every day is different. Some are humorous, some not so much. I hope to share a little of both with you. Your comments are welcome!

Mortgage Calculator!
I just added a mortgage calculator so you can determine how much home you can afford. Just let me know what is your desired price range and I'll be looking for properties that fit your needs.
By the way, rates are 3.5 - 4% for FHA, VA and conventional 30 year mortgage loans. You can call me at 256-436-2500 and I'll even give you the names of some of my preferred lenders to get you pre-approved. You may also visit my website at www.iLoveTheShoals.com

TIME!
WoW! Time gets away so fast. It's almost March and I haven't posted since October!!
I'm in a Continuing Ed class today and the title is....drumroll please.... Blogging! I think I have a new title. Blogger Failure. :( Ok, I'm going to do better....i think i can, i think i can, I will!
Can't miss too much in the class so it will be a short post. :) Interest rates are GREAT! If you're thinking of buying it's a great time. If you're thinking of selling, it's a great time for that too. Buyers get good interest rates so sellers get buyers who get good interest rates!
I have several great listings I would love to show you. Check any of them out at www.iLoveTheShoals.com or TrishBarnett.com.
Have a great day!!
