While there are definintely similarities to real estate in any city you go to, there are also some unique aspects of real estate that are different from city to city. It has been my privilege to work in Dallas real estate for nearly thirty years. My first piece of advice to any potential residents of Dallas or the surrounding ar... My Experience With Bipolar As a counseling psychologist, I enjoy a variety of clients each day with a variety of needs. I see couples who are on the edge of divorce yet still want to save their marriage and I see young children who are struggling after the loss of a parent or sibling. Some of my most interesting clients are those that deal with bipolar. I was never trained to specifically deal with bipolar, so I had to dive in with my first bipolar client and learn as I went. I'll never forget meeti... The Leather Jacket I Now Love Like many people I know, I used to have a semi-serious aversion to leather jackets. I'm not sure why really, I just grew up not liking the look of a leather jacket or the look of almost anyone that wore a leather jacket. All that changed recently, however, when I decided to get a motorcycle. As much as I had always hated the look of a leather jacket, I had still always wanted to get a motorcycle. It seems like a contradiction, and I guess it was. Anyway, the opportunity to... A Business Credit Card Is Essential If you are running a business out of your home, then there are many details that you need to keep in mind. You should probably be reading up on as much information that you can get ahold of on having a business at home. One of the most essential pieces of running a bussiness from home that you absolutely need to know from the start is to get a business credit card to use for everything related to your business. Unfortunately, as a business consultant, I have talked with fa... Pay Attention To Chart Music If you are looking for ways to keep track of your culture and to know what is happening in the lives and minds of the youth of your culture, then there are many resources you need to consider. You can read magazines, watch television, watch the latest movies, or spend time on a university or college campus near you. Another great and inexpensive way to get a handle of this generation is to pay attention to the chart music that is on the radio every day of the week. Basical... See The Unmatched Beauty Of The Great Lakes Growing up in Michigan, I was lucky enough to experience one part of the Great Lakes. And let me assure you, they are great. As a photojournalist, I have had endless opportunities to travel the world and to see a variety of lakes as well as each of the major oceans. And let me tell you, you will be hard pressed to find water as beautiful as the Great Lakes. If you are looking for a unique way to spend your summer vacation this year, then consider it no further. Make a trip... Why I've Always Loved Old Cars From the time I can remember, each year my father, three brothers, myself and our grandfather would take a week away in the summer and go on a tour of old cars shows around the country. We would try to see different old cars shows each year (you'd be amazed by how many there are to choose from!). So I guess you could say that I have come to my love for old cars honestly. It has literally been growing in me since the time I can remember. My mother, grandmother and sisters woul... I Enjoy A Nice Fire Summer is here, and that means only one thing if you have the privilege of living on or near water, like I do. It means that it is time for being on the water, in the water, and near the water. The hours you spend near the water should have one element in common: a great fire. There is nothing that compares to spending an entire day at the beach and staying as the sun sets to enjoy time around the fire. I love nothing more than just this kind of day. Gathering friends and ... Quickly: Take A Florida Vacation! Attention everybody who feels like their life has gotten a bit too stressful and that a vacation is in order! It is time that you make your desire for a week or two of relaxing vacation a reality. How? It's simple! Start planning a Florida vacation today. A Florida vacation is the perfect getaway for people who are feeling tired of the plight of everyday life. There is no better way to relax and re-focus than to spend some time away on a Florida vacation. Sometimes life is... You Must Afford Aquarium Supplies If you are considering buying an aquarium full of fish or if you already own one, then you cannot afford to stop there. Just like any other pets, fish in aquariums require a lot of care and attention. You cannot just throw fish into an aquarium and expect them to survive and thrive. You must purchase the proper aquarium supplies for your fish. I'm pretty passionate about this subject because owning a pet supplies store I have seen far too many people choose to own fish bec... Why I Love My Wife's Cardigans It might sound kind of crazy, but I absolutely love my wife's cardigans. For those who are wondering, cardigans are a certain type of sweater. From what I've seen, they are usually made from a thin fabric and have buttons all the way up the front. I've always been someone who attaches particular pieces of clothing to memories and events, so maybe that is why I really love her cardigans. The first time I remember seeing my wife in a cardigan sweater was when I picked her up... Invest In Some Cat Furniture If you are one of the lucky people in the world to own one or many cats as pets, then congratulations because you have chosen one of the best pets you can own. If you have made the commitment to owning cats, then don't you want to be the best cat owner that you can be? Of course you do. Just like parents who go all out buying everything they could possibly need for their new babies, so you should make sure that you have all of the cat furniture and supplies you need for welco... Beautify With Garden Plants There are many ways to make your house and lawn turn into a home. Every bit of careful touch you add will help your space feel more personal and inviting for your friends and family. As a landscape architect, one of my favorite ways to improve the look and feel of a home is through garden plants. I love to encourage all of my clients to invest in some great garden plants when they are at work creating a lawn or renovating their lawn. I love garden plants for so many reason... Find Great Airline Fares For Your Trip There are few things as exciting and inspiring as getting to plan a great getaway or vacation. Life seems to get more and more busy and stressful as it goes on, so the relief and relaxation that a vacation provides are desperately needed by all busy adults. One of the more stressful elements of planning a vacation is finding reasonable airline fares. For some reason, it is always stressful for people to find great deals on airline fares. Many people look in what they thoug... Don't Forget Your French Dictionary! The summer after I graduated from college I had the unique opportunity to travel to France with my roommates and friends. A group of six of us left for France on the cheapest flight we could find the morning after graduation. We had plans to stay for the entire summer and just see what unfolded. None of us had jobs lined up or anything to rush back to, so we just took things in stride and determined to have the adventure of a lifetime. We learned quickly, however, that forget... Be Thankful For Your Heartbeat One of the things I am most thankful for in life is my heartbeat. I know, it might sound strange, but I have truly learned to be thankful for my heartbeat whenever I can feel it in my chest, neck or wrists. Why you ask? I guess because in all my years of being a physician, I have come to equate the heartbeat as the primary sign of life. We've all heard that our heartbeat is the sign that we are still alive and well. And that is very true. After all, the heart is the center... Search With A Career Search If you are looking for the perfect career for you but are unsure of where to look or what to look for, then don't go any further without doing a career search. A career search is a great way to learn about potential careers without making any commitments or signing any contracts first. The basic idea of a career search is two-fold. The first main purpose of doing a career search is to learn about all the possible careers that are available to be had as great professions. F... Try Writing Anniversary Poems Are you about to celebrate a special anniversary with that special someone? If so, don't forget that a proper gift is required to make any anniversary celebration just right. Don't worry, though, because the perfect anniversary gift might be much easier than you think to come up with. Try writing some great anniversary poems for the one you love. As an author and a professor of creative writing, it of course comes naturally to think about ways to incorporate writing into a... Give Someone A Bird Bath Ever since I can remember I have loved buying special gifts and presents for the people in my life. I love nothing more than surprising someone I care about with something I know they will love. I try to match potential gifts to people that I know would really enjoy the gift, for there is nothing worse than giving or receiving a gift that just doesn't match a personality. I recently gave a bird bath to my father for his birthday and I quickly realized that it was the perfect ... Consider Using A Christian Dating Service I have many friends that remain single well into their twenties, thirties and even forties. They are great individuals who simply have not found someone that they are compatible with yet. I have great sympathy for them and I have a huge desire that each of them be in solid relationships that will eventually lead to marriage. Several single friends have asked my opinion about using a Christian dating service to help them find potential mates. As a licensed marriage and fami... Make The Switch To Natural Skin Care There are so many things to keep track of for people who are honestly concerned about their health and well being. We have to think about the things we are eating, the portions we are eating, how much and what kind of exercise we are getting, and how well we are sleeping. There is so much to keep track of lately that I honestly had never given my skin care regimen much thought until I recently met with my dermatologist and closest friend. He suggested that the single most imp... Only Use Original Art As an architect, I sometimes get the chance to be a part of the process of people decorating their homes once they have been designed at built. Sometimes a client will invite me back to see the finished product of a house I've designed for them and then we will inevitably begin discussing different options for decorating their new space with furniture and art that fits them. As usual, I am full of suggestions in these situations, but there is only one thing that I almost alwa... Wake Up With An Alarm Over the last thirty years of being a professional counselor, I have obviously dealt with a wide range of people and an even wider range of issues. Depression is one of the issues that I have seen in a growing number of clients over the last decade. There are countless factors for this increase, and there are an equally high number of potential solutions to the problem. One of the first assignments that I give to all of my clients that are trying to overcome their battle with... Don't Build A House Without Bathtubs As an architect, of course I have strong feelings about elements that should never be left out of any home building project. For example, I believe that no home should be built without bathtubs. I know, bathtubs sounds like a strange thing to be so concerned about, but it is true. I always advise my clients, regardless of their age or the kind of home they are building, to not even consider building a home without bathtubs. When they ask me why I can usually give a pretty ... Are You Feeling Paranoid? I have never been a person that is constantly afraid of something going wrong with my health or of dying. In fact, I have spent most of my life without fears about health or death. My wife, on the other hand, has always been really concerned about issues relating to her health and to the health of the ones she loves most. I guess some would call her paranoid about health issues. I had never met someone so paranoid about health issues until I met my wife. It took me a few y... What I Learned From Drug Rehabilitation One of the hardest but most redemptive seasons of my life happened when I spent fourteen months in a drug rehabilitation center. In all my years of writing, I have never written about this experience that has so distinctly shaped my life. Of course, I never would have dreamed that over a year of my life during my mid-twenties would be spent in drug rehabilitation, but it happened. I began doing drugs in junior high school, mostly I guess do to the typical amount of peer pr... Don't Be Afraid Of Dermatology Many people I know are afraid to make regular visits to their physicians. For some reason, they have learned to be fearful of visiting a doctor and of what the visit might mean for them. I am increasingly grateful that my parents taught me to understand that going to a doctor is a privilege that not everyone in the world gets. As I have been raising my own five children, I have tried to help them understand as well that visiting a doctor of any kind is a privilege that should... Take Your Stand On Immigration There is a lot of talk lately about immigration. I can hardly pick up a copy of the news without reading some headline story about the latest government position on the immigration issues our country is dealing with. Every political leader has a different perspective on how our country should be handling the issues ahead of us. I, for one, have a hard time seeing our country become so divided over things that clearly do not matter when there are much more significant thing... Take Time For A Bubble Bath Life is busy and stressful and full of obligations. Sometimes we all need to get away and take some time for ourselves. I have learned over the years that there is nothing that will better prepare me to do my job well, parent well, or maintain strong relationships well more than taking some time for myself as often as I can. There are many ways to take time alone. I love to go out for a long run. But my wife loves nothing more than taking time for a bubble bath as often as sh... Plan Great Birthday Party Games As a culture, one of the things we love the most is planning great birthday parties to celebrate the people we love the most. I, for one, love nothing more than throwing a great party for all my friends and family to attend. I used to get stressed out whenever I began planning a birthday party for someone I cared about. All of the details were too much for me and I would hate spending hours trying to figure out the perfect party games to play. All of that changed, however,... Find The Best Computer Hardware In our age, owning a personal computer is something that most people have the luxury of. In fact, I know several people who have multiple computers in their home and at their office. As the popularity of computers and the internet have grown in the past decade, so has the need of the people in having a computer to call their own. Sure, they can go to a local computer shop and purchase a desktop or a laptop computer, but more and more people are opting to put together a comput... Advice From A Divorce Attorney? I believe that divorce is one of the biggest epidemics in our current society that isn't being recognized or treated as such. As a marriage and family therapist, of course divorce is something that I am passionate about because it is something that I am spending my life to fight against. I am not ignorant enough to believe that I will see all cases of divorce end during my lifetime, nor am I ignorant enough to believe that all divorce cases even should be prevented. I am, how... Don't Settle Without Low Airfare If you are anything like me, than you love to travel. You see the world's locations as nothing less than potential destinations for your next adventure. You undoubtedly have friends and family members that think you are crazy, yet you continue to travel the world with the wonder of a child and with the hope that you will become more like the people of the world that you meet in every new place you visit. I have been full of adventure and going on trips all around the world fo... Enjoy A Day Of Wine Tasting My wife and I and our close friends recently discovered wine tasting. We had never thought to spend a day touring the many vineyards that surround our home town. Recently, however, when some friends came in from out of town and suggested that they might like to go wine tasting we made the arrangements and set off for a day of unknown adventure. I enjoy an occasional glass of wine, but I had no idea how fun it would be to tour vineyards and get to taste a variety of wines. ... Ways To Be Truly Artistic Many people I know believe that in order to be truly artistic a person has to be an artist. They must paint, draw or take brilliant photographs to have artistic talent. While These traits may make someone an artist, I believe that it takes something entirely different to be artistic. It is possible for literally anyone to live in ways that are artistic. One of the most important aspects of being an artistic person is to be confident in yourself. Lack of self-confidence doe... Advice For The Big First Date Everyone feels a mixture of excitement and nervousness when they consider going on a first date. There are perhaps few times that people desire to make an impression as much as they do on a first date. While there is no way to remove all of the fears that go with first dates, there are some simple ways to make the experience less stressful and more enjoyable. First of all, it is wiser and important to be careful about who you choose to go on a first date with. Everyone agr... Before Starting A Business For some people the idea of starting a business sounds like the worst idea in the world. They would rather work all the years of their life for someone else than even consider having a business of their own. For others, however, there is nothing more exciting than the thought of starting a business. Many people dream of starting a business from the time they are young. These people love the idea of being creative and of selling products they believe in. They love the idea ... All You Need Is Dog Treats If you have a new puppy and are looking for the secret to training the puppy into the well-behaved dog of your dreams, the secret is simple and easy: dog treats. All dog owners know the sometimes slow and frustrating process of training, taming and teaching their dog some good behavior and maybe even some fun tricks. The problem for many owners is that they forget about one of the main reasons that any human or dog will act: motivation. Just like you need a little motivati... Prepaid Calling Cards: Don't Leave Home Without One People are always making phone calls. There is always someone to call and something to talk about. There are phones in every home and store in the country. Sometimes, however, it gets frustrating to pay so much to make long distance calls or to tr to find enough change to make a call at a pay phone. Fortunately, there are prepaid calling cards that can save the day. Prepaid calling cards are just what their names says. Simply, they are a card that you prepay to make phone ... The Great Debate If you are anything like me, the smallest decisions can quickly become material for the greatest debates of your life. You can turn the tiniest molehill of an issue into a huge mountain of a decision just by sitting down and analyzing too much. Sound familiar? Have you ever gotten weighed down in trying to make small decisions of little consequence and had trouble keeping perspective? I definitely have. It is so easy to take a minor decision like 'what should I eat for bre... Help Prevent A Heart Attack: Get Moving! Preventing a heart attack should be one of the things that concerns you most. After all, heart disease and heart attacks are some of the leading causes of death among people these days. And while it is obviously not possible to completely prevent having a heart attack, there are several important ways that you can help guard yourself against suffering a heart attack. Tired of hearing advice about heart attack prevention? I guess people like me will continue to give advice ... Father's Day Cards Are A Must Fathers are the heroes to many people. Young children, teens and adults often site their father as the person they look up to the most. Father's day is a day that happens once every year that is dedicated to reminding our fathers of how special they are and of celebrating their lives. Families gather to share meals and games or children that no longer live at home call their fathers on this day. One of the best ways that all children and adults can celebrate their fathers is ... Why You Should Get A Massage I'm giving busy people everywhere permission to schedule a personal massage. Why? Because I'm alarmed by how few people I know that have taken the time to indulge in a relaxing and therapeutic massage. There are many reasons that you, no matter who you are, should be getting a massage regularly. One of the biggest and most obvious reasons that a massage should be a regular part of your life is because of how relaxing and stress relieving it is. We a all know that life is s... The Controversial Death Penalty There are few topics as controversial among the American government and general population as the death penalty. Few topics spark such heated debates and few issues have people so clearly on one side of the argument or the other. The death penalty is definitely famous for having thinkers on both sides of the fence with few people riding the gray area in the middle. Many Americans are for the death penalty. In essence they believe that there are certain crimes so heinous th... Continuing Education There are so many things to be learned about the world. Take a library for example. Think about how many different subjects there are to be studied and learned through the books on the library shelves. You could start reading a book today and still be reading months or years from now. Or consider how much you could learn about something as simple as your favorite flower. Many books have been written and hundreds of websites have been created about that kind of flower alone. T... Pick The Right Climate If you are looking to move from one location to another there are many, many things to consider. Perhaps there are too many details to think about. You are probably trying to think about places you want to be, what kind of house you want to live in, what kinds of jobs are available, and what kinds of activities and clubs there are to spend time doing away from work. These are all important things to consider before you commit to a move. However, one vital thing you may not ha... How Chronic Fatigue Has Affected My Life Many of you have heard the term 'chronic fatigue' I am sure. Far fewer of you probably know the technical, medical knowledge about the disease. While I could share with you page after page, hour after hour of information on chronic fatigue, I think it is more appropriate to share just how deeply chronic fatigue has affected my life. I grew up just like many other kids. I loved to play outside until darkness came and I loved to push the limit with my parents every night abo... Chairs: Gotta Have Them There are many things in life that we take for granted. When is the last time you were truly thankful for air, water or even a warm meal? For many people, our lives are so full of blessing that we forget about all of the simple things that make our lives to much easier and better. I recently thought about just how different our lives would be without one simple thing: chairs. Can you imagine life without any chairs? I certainly cannot. Think about all the places you rely o... I Love All Things African On a recent trip to Africa I fell in love with almost all things African. No other continent in the world has so intrigued and delighted me as Africa, and certainly no other continent has caused me to stuff my suitcases to overflowing as I made my way back home. More than anything, I feel in love with the African people that I met. Whether they were black upper class men from Zimbabwe or poor white men from South Africa, I grew to love African people. There is an innocence...
