If you’re like me, the post holiday blues are an inevitable part of welcoming in the new year. Many people take on resolutions in the new year that, while well intended, really deviate from who they are at their core and ultimately fail – leaving feelings of inadequacy. Instead of re-inventing the wheel, mix it up, take the opportunity to try new things and take care of unfinished business. Not only will it make you a more well rounded person, it will leave you with a feeling of accomplishment and likely lead to more self improvement.
Thekey to this is starting small. If you are overwhelmed by the prospect of cleaning out your entire garage at once, take an hour everyday and tackle mini projects within the project. Separate what you’ll be keeping from what you’re going to throw away and recycle. Take all your old unused solvents to a proper
disposal facility the next day. After a week’s time or so, you’re space will be looking in tip top shape. Or if exercise is your goal, then start slow. Running
three miles a day five times a week right out of the gate after living a sedentary lifestyle for many years is just not realistic. Instead, make a point to walk
around the block and each day go one block farther – chances are that you’ll start enjoying your exercise so much that it will become part of your daily
routine in short order.
Above all else, don’t be afraid to take action. Call up an old friend you’ve lost contact with, join a wine tasting group or blog about your favorite cook book.
Taking charge of your life everyday in some fashion will leave you in a position of empowerment – small steps lead to great things.
This time of the year is absolutely one of my favorites. It’s a time to celebrate our friends, families and successes both personal and professional. 2011 was a year of great change for me and my grounding force throughout it was the supportive people in my life. I feel grateful for so many things – my parents, my home, my successful business, my dear friends…and of course my kids (a.k.a. Ella & Colby, the semi-wonder golden retrievers). 
Buying a home is a big deal. You want the process to be seamless (and fun!), and you need a partner who has the real estate expertise you don’t. So, finding the right broker and getting the most out of that relationship is critical. Here’s a few tips for finding that special someone to help you, whether you’re looking to buy or sell:

October in Colorado means more chilly days and nearly freezing temperatures at night. I have already turned the heat on a time or two! As you look ahead to winter, you may start thinking about things you can do to keep your energy costs at bay by making your home more energy efficient. 
In Colorado, there is a single day each year at the end of the summer, when you can literally feel the seasons change. There is a new crispness in the air, the leaves have just a hint of yellow, and just like that, fall is here. That day happened this past weekend, and after more than 40 straight days of 90-plus degree heat, we enjoyed our first few days of cooler fall weather. 
As exciting as it is to get into a new house, it can be just as fun to get out of it! Don’t forget to explore your neighborhood’s warm weather retreats before fall attacks. Here are a few of my favorite summer activities, what are yours?
