ALWAYS DRESSED FOR SUCCESS!
This week I was blessed to interview a woman that showered me with kindness and extended a warm smile from the moment I met her. As I walked into the room of a South County Chamber of Commerce mixer nearly a year ago, ANITA SHOWER, a renowned public figure here on our unique Central Coast, immediately recognized that I was, as she so eloquently put it “…the new kid in town: our newest transfer student!” 😊

ESSENTIAL KEY INGREDIENTS FOR LIFELONG SUCCESS!

When we think of some of our favorite recipes, they all seem to have a couple of things in common: They have KEY INGREDIENTS that are ESSENTIAL to the outcome of the recipe and are passed on from generation to generation. With my Italian roots, one of the cultural dishes I have always appreciated was a big plate of spaghetti topped with a tasty Italian style sauce, a sauce that could make my tastebuds feel like I died and went to heaven. 😊

IF THESE WALLS COULD TALK…

Wouldn’t it be phenomenal if WALLS really COULD TALK? For if they could, oh what stories they would tell as we eagerly listen. Today I had the immense pleasure and privilege of experiencing, through the eyes of a well-versed docent named Colleen Beck, a place fondly known on our gorgeous Central Coast as the DANA ADOBE AT HISTORIC RANCHO NIPOMO.

WELCOME IN…ADVENTURE AWAITS YOU!
The notion of traveling to unknown places and experiencing new territory has been the cornerstone of any great ADVENTURE. As Heller Keller once quoted, “Life is either a daring ADVENTURE or nothing at all.”

SIGNED, SEALED and DELIVERED!

This familiar mantra is the cornerstone statement of any reputable Notary Public throughout history!  This week I am pleased to highlight a woman in our community that radiates not only a kind spirit but more importantly has a solid reputation that she built on her integrity.

HOME IS WHERE OUR HEART IS!

Owning a HOME…. the American dream since the 1960’s! 😊 These mere words paint a picture of stability, security and connection with others. HOME is where memories are made, children are raised, marriages mature, friends and family gather, and where we cultivate the social graces that help us navigate a world of unknown influences.

Come and SEE under the SEA

Do you recall the movie “The Little Mermaid “? It was a sweet, animated story that exposed the concept of a whole unique world that exists UNDER THE SEA! Though I don’t know of any little mermaids swimming about in our ocean waters, we do have the privilege of SEEING the unique world that lives UNDER THE SEA.

HOME SWEET HOME

Something about those simple words creates a sense of warmth in our hearts. Home is where we can kick off our shoes at the end of a weary day and reflect on the activities we engaged in, the people we interacted with and entertain dreams and goals for the future. That scenario, though familiar and beautiful in its content,
