Things Are Changing
It’s not something we often think about, but when unemployment is climbing in the US (currenlty 5.7%, nationally) we start thinking about the possibilities.  Recent lay-offs locally have this weighing heavy on my heart, so I wanted to post on it.
Let’s face it, there is no such thing as a ’safe job’.  Everyone […]

I’m a big believer in the law of attraction. It’s no secret (no pun intended…sort of). First, I want to say that I don’t really care what your faith is, just as long as you have some.

Sorry about the last minute reminder about this event.. but I promise - it’s worth your time!
The Big Dream Gathering is an event that is for the dreamers out there.  We’ve all got big dreams.  Some of us act on them, some of us bottle them up and never let them happen.   The Big Dream […]

It’s super stereotypical that car salespeople are shady.  I wish after a weekend of looking at new vehicles for my girlfriend, that I could say that I had an opinion changing experience.  Unfortunately - I did not.  In fact, I left the dealership more frustrated than I was going there in the first place.  After […]

Let’s face it, when you are looking to buy or sell real estate, you have PLENTY of options on who to work with (1,700 or so in Des Moines.. no, I’m NOT kidding!).  This is why I think this is a post that is extremely important.  If you dig deeper, you’ll find a lot of […]
