One of my sons recently said to me that "no one is remembered for what they were going to do or the ideas they had. You're only remembered if you DO something," take a risk, move, and lay it all on the line. As a family in pursuit of our dreams, going with our goals, we know the challenges to get from point A to point B.

When you set out in search of your destiny, there is not some magic potion or miracle pill that will bring about the fairy tale endings and success stories we search for. I so desperately desired that for many years, but little did I know what it would take to be all in and completely convinced.........

Even when you think you're all in and accepting there is still more to give. Each and every day I find this out. As I began to wade through my receipts and expenses for the last year for income tax, my eyes opened again to the kind of year 2014 was......... I don't even know how I made it through........

Filing my taxes is often cumbersome because of my responsibilities and I'm learning better ways to organize. It seems my rentals are pushing me towards a further business expansion at an opportune time. Life can just pass me by if I don't make specific intentions to act. Action over reaction.

With that in mind I contacted my landlord in SoCal, having further direction for the future of the kids. I think because death took me by force, I choose not to take a passive position anymore. That was never my natural tendency anyway and I am certainly unafraid to act now...........

Tomorrow I am accompanying my former boss Mick, to show houses to a young family friend in search of his first home purchase. The plan going forward is to activate my Pennsylvania real estate license, the one that took me a year to attain! And then I headed west, LOL:)

"Anything I got the strength to do, In over my head keeps me countin' on You..........I'm leaving the sweet spot, sure shot, Tradin' it all for the plans You got.........Is it so crazy to believe."
