Today is Day 1…

My 1st official meeting as the new RPAC Chair for the REALTORS Association of Lake & Sumter County. (RPAC meaning of course REALTORS Political Action Committee…don’t worry I honestly didn’t know what it meant either until I became involved.)

To say I’m a little nervous is an understatement. No matter how many times I speak in public, I always get butterflies. Most people who know me think public speaking is “my thing” which means I’m doing a pretty good job of faking it! *Giggles…the main reason for my nerves is that I’m stepping into the footsteps of a very dynamic & gracious lady. Last year’s RPAC chair was one of Lake’s County’s top agent in every sense of the word, hard working to a fault but yet we fell short of our 2009 goal.  We did however rally our board to raise 47% of goal in one of the worst housing markets in recent history.

2010 is a NEW year & we must put a NEW face on real estate. Gone are the images of REALTORS who simply drive people around showing houses & left in their place are strong, battle scared business professionals. In the last few years we have seen the end of “weekend REALTORS” due to the constant changes in the market, rising cost of education required to keep up with legalities of today’s SHORT SALES & FORECLOSURES.

Today’s REALTORS are perhaps the most educated in our field in addition to the Global Economy. We take the time to understand our community, our profession & our voice in the political forum.  Thing’s like TARP, Cash for Clunkers & $8K Tax Credit have made political involvement paramount.

I believe that due to this growing involvement, education & housing market recovery my job will be easy. As REALTORS throughout the county begin to understand that we have a voice, that we can & will help rebuild this housing market we will each understand our responcibility to give either our time or our money to make that goal a reality.

In 2010 we must do all the things we were trained to do to be successful. The members of my 2010 RPAC Committee have all been the top producers in Lake County and know what it takes to be on top. Now with the wisedom the past few years has given us we will be again.

“LET’S DO IT AGAIN in 2010!”

*once the fastest growing community in the country

“This year iPledge to help Lake & Sumter County reach it’s 2010 RPAC Goal by Dec. 1st! Forget the past & focus on the future…and just like Haiti’s flag states, together we can accomplish anything!”

The historic photo (Migrant Mother) above was taken by Dorothea Lange in February or March of 1936 in Nipoma, California while photographing migratory farming for the Resettlement Administration. (FULL STORY)

When people ask me, “Why do you take so many photos?”

My answer can be best summed up by showing them pictures like these.

As women, we forget our worth & our value to society. In days of old a PICTURE was considered HISTORIC & a way to share information throughout time with the simple snap of the shutter. Ironic that now in this digital age some of the most historic events in each of our lives go unnoticed without a single note or photo to share with the FUTURE.

“I saw and approached the hungry and desperate mother, as if drawn by a magnet. I do not remember how I explained my presence or my camera to her, but I do remember she asked me no questions. I made five exposures, working closer and closer from the same direction. I did not ask her name or her history. She told me her age, that she was thirty-two. She said that they had been living on frozen vegetables from the surrounding fields, and birds that the children killed. She had just sold the tires from her car to buy food. There she sat in that lean- to tent with her children huddled around her, and seemed to know that my pictures might help her, and so she helped me. There was a sort of equality about it.” Dorothea Lange remembers when asked in 1960 if she knew then of the historic significance this photo would have.

One Flaw In Women~anonymous


Women have strengths that amaze men…..

They bear hardships and they carry burdens,

but they hold happiness, love and joy.

They smile when they want to scream.

They sing when they want to cry.

They cry when they are happy

and laugh when they are nervous.

They fight for what they believe in..



They stand up to injustice.

They don’t take “no” for an answer

when they believe there is a better solution.

They go without so their family can have.

They go to the doctor with a frightened friend.

They love unconditionally.

They cry when their children excel

and cheer when their friends get awards.

They are happy when they hear about

a birth or a wedding.


Their hearts break when a friend dies.

They grieve at the loss of a family member,

yet they are strong when they

think there is no strength left.

They know that a hug and a kiss

can heal a broken heart.

Women come in all shapes, sizes and colors.



They’ll drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you

to show how much they care about you.

The heart of a woman is what

makes the world keep turning.

They bring joy, hope and love.

They have compassion and ideas
.

They give moral support to their

family and friends.

Women have vital things to say

and everything to give.

HOWEVER, IF THERE IS ONE FLAW IN WOMEN,

IT IS THAT THEY FORGET THEIR WORTH.

HAITI myst castle

At 4:53 (local time) Tuesday Jan. 12th 2010 on the tiny island nation of Haiti a miracle began…the world began to realize, we are “one people under God.”

With the help of the internet & social

networking sites such as

Twitter & FaceBook

the world was able to experience one of

the worst natural disasters of our history in REAL TIME.

Click here to listen to the musical soundtrack for this article–> Ben Wood’s REBUILD in SILENCE

Click here to see a slide show through the eyes of an actual Haitian–> Phil Ducat Flickr photostream

haiti comp teenAs some Haitian teenagers chatted w/FaceBook friends many mothers & fathers may have been finishing up Skype calls from work to clients or loved ones, all waiting for 5 o’clock and the end of another long workday.

None of them could have ever suspected that their lives would be changed forever in less than 40 seconds.


HAITI island-paradise

A 7.0 EARTH QUAKE (<–click details) rocked Haiti

for the first time in over 200 years,

waking the world from a long

sleep of ignorance.

Captured forever via camera phone, video and western media then unleashed on the world over the internet within seconds of the first tremor. Raw, uncensored images flooding the world so quickly, no one could even divert their eyes.

haiti earthquake“The whole world was forced to witness

the fragility of human life.

Face the unacceptable truth;

“We can not control our own destiny…

it is all left in God’s hands.”


haiti-7Like the ultimate & most horrific reality show ever imagined, Americans & people from every country in the world were forced to watch as a proud, yet impoverished nation was destroyed by “an act of God.”  From TV to the internet, there was no way to miss every detail of this historic event, making it so much more real & personal.

We each could relate to a volunteer digging through stone w/bare fingers, mother searching for her living family members on FaceBook or a survivor smiling up at the heavens, just so amazed to be alive. Together we watched and listened to the story of Haiti & it’s people unfold. Learned how it went from being one of the 1st black nations to stand up & gain their freedom to the poorest nation in the western hemisphere and now the site of the worst natural disasters in human history.

TOGETHER, we all became one HEART, breaking for Haiti’s people. Pouring out our grief in thoughts, prayers & donations to the victims. The entire WORLD realized that DEATH doesn’t see age, race, bank account or belief system…it will take all that cross it’s path. That epiphany may be the “shot heard round the world,” for the human race.

“We all share this planet and we are all fundamentally the same: flesh, blood & bone.

We laugh, we cry & we rebuild!”

011910earthquake2MATTSome ignorant people have been quoted saying that this disaster hit Haiti because it somehow deserved it, thinking it was a form of punishment for some sin. Perhaps it was…but not as hatred spreaders would want us to believe, as a second chance.  Maybe the entire world let our greed & love of material goods stand in the way of our charity.

Haiti is not the sinner or the victim, but the martyr. Her people have always suffered great hardships but have silently endured and will do so again. Their spirit has allowed some of them to survive being buried alive for longer than anyone believed humanly possible. When asked, they each say their faith kept them alive & their first words were used to thank God.

I think that if there is lesson to be learned from the earthquake in Haiti, it is that there is nothing more precious in life than living it. Everything can be replaced, except people.

“A man can LOSE all of his WEALTH and if he works HARD he can EARN it all back.  If a man wastes TIME, it is gone FOREVER.”

Make the most of every moment…

Every action you take makes a difference in the BIG picture…

Doing nothing, sometimes makes the biggest impact…

PLEASE DON’T LET THE LESSON OF HAITI GO UNHEARD. SHARE THIS ARTICLE WITH YOUR FRIENDS & FAMILY…MAKE THE MIRACLE HAPPEN.

cranky-early-morning

So…it’s Sales meeting Tuesday once again.  CLICK HERE —> Tuesday

For some of us, it’s a wake up call that the week is here

& we need to get moving before it leaves us behind!

Wake up!Last night during my usual call with MyST I discovered he is definitely NOT a morning person. He described his “method” of setting his alarm for 7:00, then 7:10, 7:20…etc. etc. Shocking as it might seem, he still wakes up a lil cranky.

I think his exact words were something like this, “When the 1st alarm goes off I still hate the world so I hit the snooze button, next one I still hate people. By the time I get to the last one I only hate animals so I figure its safe to get up & start the day!”

*Giggles…I thought this was the funniest thing I had ever heard. He asked how I am when I get up and I really had to think about it. As most of you know, I rarely sleep to begin with but I think I’m usually pretty “up & ready to go” in the mornings….except of course when I’m not! Then I need my coffee & a boiled egg to get my motor running:D

That leads me to my next question: “HOW ARE YOU IN THE MORNINGS?”

“DO YOU HAVE A SPECIAL “METHOD” THAT HELPS YOU START THE DAY???”

We could all use some great tips so please write your comments or post your pictures below. Try to keep everything PG (this time) people! *Giggles

To make a comment, simply click on the words “Wake Up…” This will take you to the actual article & at the bottom will be a place for comments. It’s fun to share & totally safe so just DO IT…lol.


Whatever you do, MAKE IT A GREAT DAY!

Happy Monday night everyone!

We’re finally at the end of another

loooong Monday…

luckily mine was also action packed:D

After my normal routine of dropping off my nieces & nephews I had the pleasure of taking Ms. Deliliah to the doctors office. Over the weekend she decided she wanted to use one of those “ear tips” as she calls Q-tips, but stuck the tip in a little too far. No one knew what she had done until she complained of blood dripping out from her ear. (**YIKES**) Of course we were all kinda freaked so we took her in just to get things “checked out.”

DJ EARLong story short, after a 90 minute wait the doctor referred us to a ear, nose & throat specialist. She hadn’t seen where the bleeding originated & there was liquid building up so, “better safe than sorry!” Now Terry will just have to negotiate w/the insurance company for a specialist on file for her insurance plan:D Gotta love it…*Giggles

BillNext stop was Tavares & RALSC Govt. Affairs committee meeting. Everyone got to see each other after the long holiday break, make a game plan for the upcoming year & just basically recharge off each others combined energy. I was delighted to find out that Bill Deese, Barbara Stamm & Debbie had all already earned their way into the $99 Club! As RPAC chair this year, it sure does make my job easier to have such educated leaders on my team:D CLICK HERE to learn more–> RPAC

BarbaraLast but not least, I made that gorgeous drive back to Clermont using the drive time to contact several new clients & update past clients. I even had a chance to pick up e-mail/voice mail early & I found a trend in the subject matter…

“WHY ARE YOU HAVING YOUR BIRTHDAY PARTY AT THE ELKS LODGE???”

Well, I’m actually glad you asked…

During the holidays we all seem to catch the spirit of giving & have holiday parties w/toy drop offs or canned food drives, which usually keep us feeling all warm & fuzzy until the next holiday season.  My friend Jeff Royle had such good turnout at his birthday/holiday party, Toys for Tots thought he was a large company!

giftsI really loved Jeff’s idea and others who use their birthdays as just another venue to give a little something back to the community. On my birthday I think the greatest gift anyone could give me would be just to come share their night with me at the Elks Lodge. Together we will celebrate all the gifts & blessings I have been given in life (such as friends & family).

I chose the Elks lodge as the perfect place to have my birthday party because as we all enjoy the festivities, our money is going to a worthy cause, the Benevolent and Protective Order of the Elks. A nonprofit organization with deep roots in our community, history & charity.

Elks-LogoOUR MISSION:To inculcate the principles of Charity, Justice, Brotherly Love and Fidelity; to recognize a belief in God; to promote the welfare and enhance the happiness of its Members; to quicken the spirit of American patriotism; to cultivate good fellowship; to perpetuate itself as a fraternal organization, and to provide for its government, the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the United States of America will serve the people and communities through benevolent programs, demonstrating that Elks Care and Elks Share. CLICK –>ELKS WEBSITE

So remember…I could go anywhere in the world to celebrate my birthday, but there’s no place I’ld rather be than surrounded by the Best People On Earth, (BPOE).  The Elks Lodge is located at 705 W Minneola Ave. Clermont Fl 34711, I hope you can join me make this a year to remember!

“Don’t forget, the ELKS is not only a wonderful organization that provides much needed scholarships & Veteran services, it’s a great place to PARTY!”

family guy-haventyouheard

“As you may know, if you were following any of my adventures yesterday, I’m pretty much this year’s version of the #JessicaSimpsonCurse for playoff picks. “

My prediction that both the Eagles & Bengals would move on in their run for the Superbowl, ended up 100% WRONG:(

chad-ochocinco

Poor Chad Ocho Cinco will always remember the birthday he was shut down in the playoffs, ending his SuperBowl dreams.

My Ohio roots made me cheer til the bitter end for my Bengals but sadly they wimpered rather than roared due to Palmers high passes & poor timing.

“The football God’s were just smiling on ROOKIE quarterback Sanchez…he looked good & he really pulled his team together.”

Vick-McNabb-talkI was actually pulling for McNabb & his Eagles because I really think the guy is overdue for some good news for a change. He was so close before & I know he thought this year was one of his best ever. Unfortunately, his team didn’t live up to any of their expectations. “INCOMPLETE PASS,” is probably still ringing in everyones ears…sadly, most were very, very catchable.

“VICK ended up making both the best and worst play in the game, making the Cowboys/Eagles match up another one for the history books.”

Seattle+Seahawks+v+Minnesota+Vikings+x1_jAZ_LSdIlCowboys will now meet Brett Farve & his VIKINGS…in the battle of quarterbacks, Farve carries a BIG ax!

You would think after such horrible playoffs picks on Saturday, I would just throw in the towel & give up…but NO, not I. I am back to give you all my “INSIDE SCOOP” for today’s BIG winners:D

“The BIRD, BIRD, BIRD…BIRD is the word…”

M_Oher_081128_WideRavens/Patriots match up to see who will fight on for AFC title. My choice has got to be the RAVENS! If you say it’s only because I loved the movie “The Blind Side,” and every time I think football, Michael Oher or Ravens I think of MyST so its an emotional pick…well you are 100% right. Football is a very emotional sport. Namely, team spirit!

“It takes HEART to win a football game. Michael Oher & his Ravens want this game bad. They have been underrated & been told they have NO chance for so long, I think they are ready to BREAK OUT, and really show America WHO the RAVENS really are! The story is not nearly over…”

Arizona-Cardinals-Larry-F-001Next stop takes us to the Cardinals/Packers game.

Bottom line, “I just don’t like the Packers!!!!”

I gotta go with Arizona Cardinals today simply on principal:D

Warner Arizona+Cardinals+i2ar71UCUxplI think Whisenhunt will get his team together in time to defend their home field, the Cardinals are always strong at home.  I’m thinking it’s Kurt Warner’s LAST SHOT at history, so far his footprint in the NFL hasn’t earned him even an “*”…let’s hope he realizes & steps up his game today. Loving Larry Fitzgerald & think he is ready to go prime time!

*Praying for Bolden to get healthy…

WIN or LOSE…watching these true FOOTBALL GLADIATORS battle it out for my pleasure really makes my weekend & year!!!

“You are the butter on my bread, the breath in my life and I love you.” My favorite quote from the movie, “Julie & Julia.”

Sales meeting Tuesday, (as I like to call it was) was long and eventful. I accomplished most of what I scheduled and even overcame an obstacle, turning it into a positive. (Thank you again Juanita for lunch at Cheeser’s Palace.) All in all it was a very purpose driven day.

Nothing could top off the day better than sharing it with someone I loved, so I rushed home to pick up Jeffrey. Together we went to my BFF “Party Marty’s” house. Jeffrey ran off with Brian, leaving Marty & I to swap “boys will be boys” stories. Together we laughed about everything from adventures in dating to lessons learned and everything in between. We relived the holidays and the previous year, helping to close the suitcase on that chapter of our lives.

To celebrate we decided to have a girls movie night! Spiked coffee in hand, we plopped onto her comfy couches surrounded by three dogs and two cats for warmth. Clicking through PPV we decided upon “Julie & Julia.” Meryl Streep and Amy Adams star in the title roles. Not only did the strong female leads lure us in, but the obvious abuse of butter sealed the deal on our choice for “movie to watch.”

“You can never have too much butter…”

Meryl Streep reminds me of my Aunt Lorna so she has always been a favorite. However, this performance made me fall in love with her and Julia, all over again. “Julie & Julia” was refreshing, inspiring & heartfelt…reminding us all that following your dream can NEVER be considered a failure because you are doing what you love.

I found myself instantly connected w/Julia (being a bit of an amazon myself) & Julie (since I’ve been blogging for almost 3 yrs). I could relate to their desires to achieve greatness, dissatisfaction with their lethargic attempts to achieve that goal. Basically, they woke up one morning and realized, they weren’t happy with where they were in their lives. From Julia who seemingly began her life w/marriage at age 40 to Julie still coasting through her career disconnected at 30, we learned that life (the life you DESERVE TO LIVE) begins the minute you decide to live it.

Since my birthday is just around the corner (14th) I appreciated the importance of Birthdays in the film and the milestones they represented. Not only did they give the movie an poinant tension, it gave definite deadlines for accomplishment. The factual post at the end of the movie stating Julia & Paul’s age & date of death drove home the importance of TIME & how PRECIOUS it is.

Today really is the first day of the rest of your life. Don’t waste another minute being unhappy…make a change, NOW. Make a goal and take the steps to reach it. Believe in yourself and your choices. Will action you are about to take bring you closer to or further from your goal? Who would ever think someone could accomplish so much in just one fragile lifetime? Maybe you are the next Julia, Julie or maybe even Kimberanna? *Giggles

“Marty & I both agree, “Julie & Julia” was pure entertainment. I smiled so much my cheeks hurt!”

*2009 was the fire that forged a stronger back bone for most of us. We realized what was really important in life, our friends & family. We learned the difference between what we WANT and what we NEED. That the people standing beside you at the end of the battle are the same ones who lifted you up when you fall.

“With FEAR of on-line identity theft

on the rise…

and  MARKETING budget dollars decreasing,

are Social Networking sites like FaceBook

and Twitter the ANSWER?”



Just wanted to share with you some helpful marketing info I discovered while researching Social Networking via Face Book and Twitter.
1. When setting up your profile, be sure to leave information you would normally include in a traditional print ad for job recruiting purposes visible. Work phone number & e-mail address should be marked “visible by everyone” to ensure possible employees searching your name are able to find you *quickly.”
2. Create both a work FB profile that you want visible to the general public & a personal friends & family account. This allows you to share as much or as little information with the world as you feel comfortable.
3. Remember FB & all social networking site are just a more interactive version of the phone book. A virtual yellow pages to the world that is completely FREE. Just remember, every good thing must be used in moderation & with a specific goal in mind.
If you found this information helpful, please visit my website http://www.kimberanna.com/category/real-estate for more useful information. I hope 2010 brings you many blessings & marketing success.

*In November of 2009 Google incorporated social networking sites Twitter & Google into their web optimization search engines. This allows Google users to access real time information from millions of sources. (Savvy FB & Twitter users soon discovered their profiles became increasingly higher in searches as a direct result of their individual network usage (tweets/FB status changes) , making traditional web optimization practices outdated. What used to cost companies thousands of dollars can now be accomplished using current employees downtime to tweet or network.)

Thank you,

cinderella-castle-lights“TUESDAY MORNINGS MEAN…

“Sales meeting Tuesday” for REALTORS around the country.

Since top REALTORS work most weekends to help fulfill the needs of our clients, Mondays are usually a very low key, wind down days spent on-line & usually in PJ’s via cell phone:D”


WANT TO HEAR THE MUSIC IN MY HEAD?

Click here–>Wake up & Make Love to me, Sinead O\’Conner w/Blockheads

TUESDAY comes like a freight train, on time. We MUST be ready to gear up for a new week, recap what we (as a team) accomplished over the previous week & somehow find the strength to do it all while smiling.

kim, cheryl, brandieEveryone shows up all buttoned up & shiney, like a brand new penny!

My Watson sales meeting helps me keep my head up when the daily grind & stacks of endless short sale paperwork threatens to drag my spirits down. Times like these are what “separate the men from the boys.” Die hard REALTORS have learned to embrace crazy new gizmos like TEXTING, E-FAX and that darn TWITTER stuff just to survive. The “opportunity REALTOR” or “weekend REALTOR,” can no longer afford to take the continued education, testing and license fees required to be an active REALTOR, leaving only those that truly committed to helping our profession.

Meetings are a way the Watson Family can get together, share coffee & talk about everything from the dog in the closet that “scared the piss out of you,” an amazing new bank owned home down the street from your listing, to the 13 year renter who finally bought their 1st home two days before Christmas.

Cinderella-and-her-Fairy-Godmother-disney-princess-7790389-500-390“As REALTORS we are more than just “transaction brokers,”

we are “fairy godmothers” that spend our days working

to make your dreams come true,

while guiding, educating  & protecting you at the same time.

I LOVE MY JOB!!!”

“Lord knows it’s been a tough year. I’ve survived things I never thought I could & it’s left me stronger but also a little less naive. (“Whatever doesn’t kill you makes you stronger” right?) I realize what is really important in life, people. Things come & go like water…always moving, changing. The people who REALLY love you will always be near, even when you push them away. (Love means never having to say you’re sorry. {but do anyway})”

“I’ve learned that my family is NOT only my flesh & blood but also the people in my community that support me emotionally & spiritually. People like Cheryl, Darlene, Ann, Eileen, Lisa, Gretchen, Terry…the list goes on & on. So rather than write lists all day, I “stop & smell the roses” by blogging, reviewing & filming the important people and places around me. Allowing me to say THANK YOU the best way I know how, by sharing you with the world!”

SLWCR

2010 my REALTY REALITY will focus on what drives the REAL ESTATE INDUSTRY; location, location, location. (which means we MUST focus on the community that supports us.) Join me again & again to meet the people in my neighborhood, people who fill the pages of our history books through their hard work and dedication. Maybe… it will be you!
