Clermont Florida meet Google BUZZ

February 9, 2010 By Kimber View Comments

“Will Google float like a butterfly….sting like a BEE w/the NEW Google BUZZ?”

The newest BUZZ on line is about Goggle’s NEWEST attempt to RECREATE a platform similar to social networking sites such as FaceBook, MySpace & Twitter. Utilizing it’s already HUGE client base & instantly incorporating your existing e-mail contacts list gives Google a BIG advantage, yet execution will DECIDE if Google BUZZ becomes the next big STING…*Giggles

HOWEVER, IF THERE IS ONE FLAW IN WOMEN,

IT IS THAT THEY FORGET THEIR WORTH.

2010 RPAC Committee

February 8, 2010 By Kimber View Comments

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 agents 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, Amendment 4 & $8K  Home buyer Tax Credit have made political involvement paramount.

I believe that due to this growing involvement, education & housing market recovery my job as RPAC Chair will be easier than in past years. 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 responsibility 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 top producers & leaders in Lake County. They know what it takes to be on top. Now with the wisdom 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!”

WOMEN’S ONE FLAW

February 1, 2010 By Kimber View Comments

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.
