But avoiding conflict only allows it to fester.While I may not halt the march toward conflict alone, I commit to fostering genuine connections. Let's prioritize dialogue and listening, challenging our own perspectives for true understanding and progress.Read the full article here: https://applycommercialloans.com/the-sounds-of-silence/Contact Information:Karen Schi... 04/15/2024

D-u-u-u-u-de, take a hike! When a house is being shown, it's best that owners, family members and their guests leave the property to allow the buyers to move through without interruption. Otherwise, conversations may take place when a person remains... Example:An out-of-work, 50 year old artist (owner's son), is currently living on premises.

As a matter of fact, he revealed private information, saying, "The last buyers really beat up the seller on repairs and they cancelled."  The comment was a su... 04/15/2024

Good morning and hello again from Tim in sunny, mild Cottage Grove, MN.  Hope this email finds you doing well this Monday and had a wonderful weekend.  Wanted to share Tim's Time Outs: RESOURCEFULNESS: You time is limited, with ONLY so many available hours in each day(and in life itself)...
