"If you pour yourself out for the hungry and satisfy the desires of the afflicted, then shall your light rise in the darkness."--Isaiah 58:10 

I am happy to report that I have joined the Web Women Giving Circle, a philanthropic organization organized by Master Coach Joeann Fossland. We will be raising donations for CARE as part of a Giving Circle Challenge issued by More Magazine. CARE is a leading humanitarian organization fighting global poverty. We place special focus on working alongside poor women because, equipped with the proper resources, women have the power to help whole families and entire communities escape poverty. Women are at the heart of CARE's community-based efforts to improve basic education, prevent the spread of HIV, increase access to clean water and sanitation, expand economic opportunity and protect natural resources. CARE also delivers emergency aid to survivors of war and natural disasters, and helps people rebuild their lives.

There's a new blog devoted to the effort, Web Women Giving Circle.

10 Delicious Daily Habits Game Is Recipe For A Healthy & Happy REALTOR®

Practice week is over. Joeann Fossland's game starts in earnest today. Here's my list:

1. Prepare a meal or cook SOMETHING.
You may think this is easy, but sometimes a whole week can pass without using the oven or range.
2. Eliminate 1 problem.
I've accomplished this task five times already today.
3. Drink 120 oz. of water.
It's only 3 PM and this one is done. I am VERY hydrated.
4. Swim or exercise 1 hour.
I had my Hydro class first thing this morning. Great way to start a day!
5. Talk to Jens and/or Andreas.
I had lunch with Jens today. He was in town from State College. Talk about a good day!
6. Write or blog for at least 60 minutes.
This post counts toward that goal.
7. Listen to a real estate interview online.
I listened to an Allan Dalton (REALTOR.com) interview on Broker Agent News Online.
8. Read a book at least 1/2 hour.
I'm still reading Ellen Gustafson's Silver Wheel. I'm not linking because her publisher is not coming through with royalty payments and there are lots of people selling this book online. I'll do a link at a later date.
9. Speak personally with a Real Estate Blog Squad member.
Great folks! I'll be speaking with Jane Bustad later today.
10. Write or edit real estate book 1 hour.
I'm in the final edit phase of a real estate how-to book that will be available very soon.

REALTOR® /Blogger/Fatty Launches Health Blog

Real estate can be a very sedentary profession that can result in lots of excess poundage if an agent does not pay careful attention to health issues. It happened to me. I'm changing my tune in life and in a new blog.
