Buy house before the price increases.

Another house for sale on my street and it is listed at $211,000. It is comparable to mine in size but has one floor living. Time is running out and I need to get this home shown and sold. A realtor will change the marketing of this home and the pricing has to increase. Why not take this opportunity and get it at a fair price today?

Listed at $211,000

You can handle the unknown.

“The ability to know that your perceptions are accurate has to happen without others’ validation. Intuition is not the result of diet, rituals, or wind chimes. It’s the natural consequence of having self-esteem, the greatest power you can have. With self-esteem, your life can broaden into an adventure because you can know in your gut that you can handle the unknown. And you can handle helping others without fear, which is true liberation.” - Caroline Myss, best-selling author and inspirational speaker.

I would like to sell my home on my own and believe it is very possible. Time though is running out and soon I will have to give this home to a realtor to handle which means the price will have to go up to meet the cost of their commissions. Do not let this house pass you by if you are thinking about buying it. Are you wondering if it is a good idea to buy a home that is a FSBO listing? Yes it is a great idea. I have the disclosures and home inspection report. I have a reputable lawyer that can draw up the purchase agreement. But mostly I want to see someone buy this home who will love it and care for it.

Contact me anytime. Bring your realtor if you are working with one.

The great thing about living in Elkin NC is you are close to some great parks.

Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature’s peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves. — Our National Parks

Saturday the clouds broke and the humidity lifted and I took advantage of the good fortune. I packed up Tucker filled some water bottles for him and myself grabbed the camera and off I went. My destination was Stone Mountain NC. The great thing about living in Elkin NC is you are close to some great parks.

Pretty amazing.

You can climb rocks there too. I am not thrilled with heights so I pass on this activity. But check out these people having some fun.

This way to your dream house.

This way to your dream home…

I did a quick search for homes in Elkin NC online and found there is nothing in this price range available. The houses in this location are either much more (yet you are getting almost the same house) or a few thousand less (foreclosed or soon to be). I know people like to get a deal but for myself buying a foreclosed home is taking on the negative energy that will come with that home.

If you are looking for a wonderful home you can move into quickly that is filled with positive creative energy (did I mention I am an artist?) that is in a great location, after all location location location, than please check this home out.  Visit 383 Hawthorne Road, Elkin, NC 28621.

Show kindness, let me do it now.

 

“I expect to pass through life but once. If therefore, there be any kindness I can show, or any good thing I can do to any fellow being, let me do it now, and not defer or neglect it, as I shall not pass this way again.” - William Penn, was a great English entrepreneur & philosopher.

Where ever I have lived and no matter what I may think of the area I am always respectful and kind to others. Yesterday I went food shopping. I had a few moments while the paint on a custom box dried and headed over to the neighborhood Food Lion.

Great place and newly re-done inside but I digress. As I was checking out the woman ahead of me (older than myself) was unloading her cart. I instinctively could sense she was having some difficulty. The checker kept piling the filled bags on the counter so I asked if it would be OK for me to load her cart? She stared at me dumbfounded as her brain tried to catch up. She smiled and agreed. I loaded her cart, said our thank you’s and off she went.

Now why would I do this? I believe kindness is never wasted and it is like a cold easily spread. People need showing it is OK. I thought of my mom when she would head off to the market with sore arthritic hands and wondered if someone was kind to her when I was not there to help? If there was I just paid it forward for them.

I am selling my home and I am not going to be back in the area again. I like to think I helped this wonderful little town with my random acts of kindness though I will never be sure.

Great place to buy some delicious vino, folks.

Tell everyone you know: “My happiness depends on me, so you’re off the hook.”

“Tell everyone you know: “My happiness depends on me, so you’re off the hook.” And then demonstrate it. Be happy, no matter what they’re doing. Practice feeling good, no matter what. And before you know it, you will not give anyone else responsibility for the way you feel-and then, you’ll love them all. Because the only reason you don’t love them, is because you’re using them as your excuse to not feel good.”

- Esther Abraham-Hicks, best-selling author and motivational speaker.
