I had my hair cut yesterday. As you may have noticed LOL I don’t have much hair and so I go to a barber. Afterwards my sister and I went to a local independently owned cafe for a cuppa, I stress independently owned because I like to support the little guy. The proprietor that has a…

My hair wasn’t gray when I started working as a Realtor. Now that that career is behind me I would like to think I learned a great deal along the way and helped many with their change. Over the past few weeks I have been “connecting the dots” so to speak between my past and my…
