Making a ComeBack

I feel as though I have let my readers down. I apologize to everyone! As of this day...I am going to make a comeback. It may not be so much about what I started out blogging about and then again...I may find a way to blog about the same kinda things. I truly love the country live and there is one thing for sure... You can take the girl out of the country, But you can never take the country out of the girl. Yes, I still live in the country and I am clueless as to what tomorrow will bring. I am leaning on the arms of Jesus and I know that He will not fail me. Thank you all for being so dedicated and so absolutely WONDERFUL!

Getting into the Biz


Thanks to Roman May

I didn’t know a thing about houses when I first got into real estate. I started thinking about it and for the longest time I was just spinning my wheels at the desk job I had (and hated) and I knew I wanted something more flexible. I think about it every day and now I’m so glad I took the leap. I signed up for my real estate licensing class which wasn’t too bad and once I got my license I felt better prepared to practice. I had a friend, thankfully, that worked at an agency in town and he got me hired on part time – it was really the perfect way to learn the business and find out what area I wanted to be in. Now I specialize in finding first time home buyers their perfect place – it’s nice to feel like I’m helping someone on a daily basis. I certainly didn’t feel like that when I was sitting around looking at spreadsheets all day! Now I get to answer questions about school districts and www.ElectricCompaniesTexas.net and whether or not the four-lane highway being built will impact noise levels, you know, stuff homeowners worry about. I love feeling like I’m the point of contact for someone on one of the most important decisions of their life and I know my clients tell me I’ve been a big help. It’s not like I’m a therapist or anything but I do really relish the times I feel like I’m helping people realize a dream. And I also love that in real estate I get to set my own hours and generally be my own boss. It’s nice not to be stuck in a cubicle all day and I really wish I had taken this on a long time ago. I spent too many years doing a job I hated and only making half the money I make now – real estate is the business to be in if you have a personality like mine!

Days Gone Bye...

Some of you know and some of you don't know.  Now all of you will know.  Divorce is inevitable...And...I will be glad when it's all said and done.
Now that those days are gone I can clean up the mess and carry on.  I am counting it ALL joy!

Sciatica



 What is Sciatica?

Sciatica is a condition where the sciatic nerve has become compressed by another underlying spinal condition. Sciatica is a condition that will only affect the lower back, with symptoms being felt through the buttocks, down the legs, and into the feet.
I borrowed this from http://www.orthopedicandlaserspinesurgery.com



I have this right now.  It is extremely painful.  I am going to the Chiropractor twice a week.  It was better right before New Year and I actually missed an appointment and it got worse.  Worse than when I started going to the Chiropractor.  Don't give up because it will get better!
