    I took these pictures two weeks ago on my way to visit my parents. It is a view of Biscayne Bay with Coconut Grove in the backdrop. The view driving from the car was some beautiful clouds with the sunset peaking behind. This part of the beach is also under renovation.  Recently the city cut down the Australian Pines along the stretch of the Rickenbacker Causeway. According to a Miami Herald article, the trees drive out native foliage and make nesting difficult for rare species. (more…)

  • Inner Peace Prevails Although My Milkweed Died

    milkweed diedI had to pull from the roots and throw out two of my  milkweed plants two weeks ago. They were infiltrated with a huge amount of bugs. The leaves were yellow and mucky and a mold was starting to form on the stems. In this past month, I haven’t taken much time to look at my milkweed. Normally I scruff them off with my hand when I see a slight infiltration. You can’t put pesticide on milkweeds because the caterpillars will die.

    When I went out to look at them, there was no hope. I had to yank them off from the roots. I cut one of them down to the bottom near the roots. Hopefully, it can come back. If not, a new one can be planted and new growth will occur. (more…)

  • Logic Is Not Always Right

    A neighbor came by this week to give me a card of the owner of Creative Staffing, an agency that finds work for unemployed. She knew I was looking for temporary work to tide me over or  a permanent job in something new. After spending enormous effort to maneuver myself in this total revamping and restructuring of my real estate business in the last year, I find myself at another crossroads.

    Should I give up my persistence in this sinking ship although my logic tells me banks will be needing many more realtors to handle their inventory? I don’t need many listings to survive. My skills and knowledge of the industry are very high. But the low I am experiencing in getting deals done really makes me wonder how much longer I should chart in this course. (more…)

  • A Rainy Vacation Day…The Towel Helped

    towel-rain-at-the-beachI googled where the term “throw in the towel” came from.  On Wiki answers it says:  “…an image from the sport of boxing, to give up the struggle to quit the fight.” In Urban Dictionary it also says that it comes from boxing: “When a boxer is too beat up to continue, his coach throws a towel into the ring to signal that the fight is over.”

    It also says here that it could be in origin of throwing up the white flag, which means surrender. I had been very busy laying much groundwork for two businesses, my REO business. It is still realty work, but different. And also I have been attempting to publish a new book. I am still not fully established in either business even though a lot of legwork has been done. When I decided to take the towel to the beach  and relax, I ended up finding two new clients to work with.

  • Exit Sign Leads to Entrance Sign

    entrance-sign-with-treeI spent a couple of hours last night uploading my beach and  Butterfly World to a video format Please forgive me if this post is long. I sense I am in a culmination of a long process that will lay the groundwork for some of my future posts. So I hope it makes sense. If not I will try to clarify as time goes by. It has taken me seven years to understand intense inner processes only because I chose to find answers to all my inner questions about the meaning of life and death. I know I will never understand everything and the more I know and understand, the more questions I have and the less I really know.I am constantly humbled by the majesty of this greater force we call God.

    Anyway, I was taking some pictures on Monday as I headed out to pick up my son at school before I went to the beach. I had been taking pictures in sequence of part of a shopping center that had been knocked down in order to build a new structure. Then on the way home, I took pictures of the location where I had my car accident almost seven years ago. That exit on the highway also has been rebuilt. I see it every time I have carpool and take the kids to school. (more…)

  • Invisible Angels…Visible Results

    clouds-like-angels1I read in the Miami Herald today that the six month descent in the economy appears to be leveling off.  It has been a 1 1/2 year descent being in the line of fire as a realtor.  My video of the triathlon gives me the imagerythat there is a finish line as long as you persist. All in all, it has been a great experience in a weird way.

    After seeing all the butterflies yesterday in Butterfly World, I hope I can come out of this phase soon and start flittering about again. A transformation has definitely happened again because I followed my main motto: Let Go, Let God. I follow it to the letter now. This has helped me to be kind of like a butterfly. I have been learning all kinds of new ways to work so I can hopefully write full time in the near future. I’m learning the internet mechanisms and all this wordpress blogging, plugins etc. If you look at a butterfly in action, it has major ADD. It does not sit still, except when it is laying its eggs. Then it’s off to another flower. (more…)
