Ok, if you've ever been to our house, you do know how much we LOVE this place! The jaw-dropping views are one of a kind.... especially here in Mississippi! We've worked tirelessly over the last few years to widen roads, clear out land, level the pond levee, perfect the food plots, and make the entire place into a turn key property. And now... we've decided to take a leap of faith.... and sell...
If you've ever visited our place, you're probably thinking, "Have y'all lost your minds?" Good question, and maybe we have! Well, even though we're crazy about the home and property (not to even mention the VIEW), we really want want a place with a little more acreage, but also a little less house. (There are three of us here, and we have FIVE full bathrooms. Plus, Calvin's in college... so one day there will only be two of us here with five bathrooms - ha) Now we definitely realize that this price only allows a very select number of buyers to be able to afford this property. Will it appraise for this much? No. But we think with the land layout, wildlife population, and view like no other, it's a property that's pretty much impossible to replicate around here. However, if the right buyer doesn't come along, we'll just stay put right here, keep on loving & enjoying this place, and I'll just keep cleaning those five bathrooms myself. ;) You can check out the listing here.... someone please pass on to Miranda and Blake ~ I think it would be a vacation home that would suit them just perfectly! :)) http://www.mollyhawkins.net/4177-macedonia-road.html There's a quote that I frequently read repeatedly. It's part of a speech that
was given by Steve Jobs: "Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most importantly, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary." ~ Steve Jobs How powerful is that? The older I get, the more I appreciate free thinkers.... those who don't just blindly go along with the crowd. And not only that, but this quote makes ME feel so much more empowered to be who I am, and not an imitation of anyone else.... even with all of my many faults and other not-always-awesome qualities, I'm still ok... And as another quote goes, "Wanting to be someone else is a waste of who you are." And one more brilliantly wise quote along the same order ~ “To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.” - Ralph W. Emerson So I hope you'll join me today - don't waste another minute trying to be someone or something you're not.... be a rebel... be true to yourself... be YOU! About a month ago I decided that it might be a good idea to make a video for this site. I thought it would be nice for potential clients to be able to sort of "get a feel for who I am" if they didn't already know me. Well I had NO idea what I was getting into - ha.... It seemed real simple at first.... just write down what I wanted to say.... then record it....that's it... right?
Well it turns out it wasn't so simple after all. It's really surprising once you consider all of the things that impact making a video... sound quality - (be loud enough to be heard, but not so loud that I sound annoying or like I'm SHOUTING --- plus make sure no phone rings/dog barks/person talks/etc. in the background!)..... the lighting.... finding the right place to do the recording (since I was using my laptop camera, I was a one-man show --- and it was tricky getting the computer just the right height, too) .... enunciating without sounding silly (trying to make sure I'm understood and that I don't have toooooo much of a Southern twang - harder than I thought!).... making sure the background looked ok (had to hide all the dog toys).... and the hardest part was trying to face the camera as much as possible without constantly looking at my notes (now I really understand the concept of how helpful that whole teleprompter thing must be....) Once I had practiced some and had gotten everything set up, I recorded..... and recorded....and recorded.... it turned out to be really tricky to record the whole thing all the way through, smile, look at the camera, enunciate, speak with expression, not stutter, and not stumble over any of the words.... yikes - who knew?! Well I do know one thing for sure now... I have a new appreciation for all those people who video-blog --- they are brave and determined souls! The video is certainly nothing professional - ha, but hopefully I did get my points across. If you can't access it on here for some reason, I just uploaded it to youtube (another first for me!) ----- here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9dJ3D8VAmhE&feature=youtu.be Making this video was a real challenge for me --- it's pretty hard to put yourself "out there" and open yourself up for possible negativity or criticism ~ however, I'm working to face my fears and conquer some challenges in 2013 ~ hopefully you are, too! Well, Happy New Year to you and yours ~ Hoping 2013 will be your most rewarding and prosperous year yet! |
