The Natural Law of the HERD What are you getting yourself into? We sold our first house just under a year ago. For any of you in that same boat, you know the sense of relief and excitement that comes with getting a property off your hands and making a good return.  Even with all […]

The Natural Law of the Vacuum What are you filled with? I want to keep this message short and simple because – well – it is.  Here’s the deal.  Nature HATES a vacuum – or in easier terms, an empty space.  If something isn’t “filled”, then it’s not long before nature takes it upon herself to […]

I was a bit of an “internship queen” as a college student but I was always the least qualified candidate in the final phase of the selection process.  Honestly, many of these internship placements could have picked WAY more qualified […]

The Natural Law of RECIPROCITY Think it through! I remember in high school physics class learning Newton’s Third Law of Motion. You know, the one that says “Every action has an equal and opposite reaction”? Think of a swimmer using her feet to push off the side of the wall and propel herself forward.  She initially […]
