    So, what I'm hearing you say is that your old business is no longer working. You're trying to start a new one, and you don't have the resources and a ready customer base? Am I understanding?

    Thanks for your kind words. I want to be a good mother and grandmother. When I was young, wonderful mentors helped me to make good decisions and create a successful path for my life. I spend a lot of my time and effort paying back and paying forward. That's the real grace and fun of being...

    You're right. It takes a lot of time, energy, and resources to deal with the snow and other weather events. And we spend a lot of our summertime getting ready for the coming winter. We do what we must do. Today is Sunday, my day off from my office and property management duties. I've opened...

    Notes on the weather: When we got home from our daughter’s house, it was cold here – down to -20F at night and up to -8F or even up to -5F during the day. Then it warmed up and started snowing for a few days. We plowed and plowed since our roads are private and must be maintained for our...

    I’ve been MIA (missing in action) for the last couple of weeks. We had to go to the Lower 48 to help our daughter. Her husband left her and divorced her -- leaving her with 3 small children (our grandchildren) to raise. Our trip was very successful. We bought out our ex-son-in-law interest in...

    My husband is one of those guys. He has a whole bunch of different metal detectors. He loves to metal detect in historical areas. And he has "gold-fever". He pans every Saturday from the time that the ice clears the streams into the fall when they freeze over again. If he's not there, from...

    Year End Thought Exercise: 10 Questions to Ask about This Year

    MINDSET 
    "As I like to say: New Year's Resolutions are for losers. Why? Because a New Year’s Resolution is a confession that you've had zero self-reflection throughout the year. Zero assessing. Zero adjusting. That tells me everything I need to know." MJ ******** I see them differently. I see those line...

    This moment in the market is a furious emotional roller-coaster ride on the high end of the tracks. There are even a few loopdi-loops. There is way too much loose money chasing a smaller pool of stocks and the naturally limited supplies of hard assets right now -- pushing the prices way up. The...

    On my way to the fastlane and my struggles with Seasonl Affective Disorder

    INTRO 
    I'm retired from my RE career. And I invest in RE full-time here in Alaska. I started out as a RE agent in 1976 -- just about 50 years ago. I owned 2 RE offices with a partner by the end of that decade. One was a residential office. And in the other, we did plottage projects for SRR...

    Our Progress: It’s very cold (-5 F) and the days are truly short (about 5 and half hours of daylight). This coming week we’ll start gaining time again on our daylight hours. In June, we will have at least partly light 24/7 and sun until after midnight. The weather really controls what work we...

    Our Progress: I did get my husband back from his hunting trip last week. And then we took a trip to Anchorage to pick up a Jeep car I bought and supplies. Now, this weekend, we’re having another windstorm (typhoon). This is storm #4 this season. We’re getting very dry, nasty cold, fierce winds...

    Our Progress: We’ve had a rough week. Another wind storm with a cold snap came through for the last few days. We had another power outage for a few hours, which meant resetting several of the tenants’ furnaces. Yes, we have wind damage to fix when the weather gets better. Yesterday, the wind...

    Pause. Journal your feelings. Grieve. Then, allow yourself to know that there are several ways to frame these events. It's your story to tell others and yourself. Yes, having both in the same timeframe is earthshaking and painful. It's also an opportunity to dig deep, evaluate your current...

    Our Progress: We’re having a bunch of earthquakes right now. We had a 6.0 this week. I looked it up. We’d had 18 earthquakes across our state in the 8 hours before that little shaker. I assume that our volcanoes are waking up. At least they are rumbling. On our new project, we continued last...
