I'm sure that you have been following our deficit saga for that last 2 years. Especially since last summer the NJ economy has been going down the tubes and all you hear politicians argue and come up with lame proposals and ideas on how to fix our rapidly sliding economy.
Our unemployment level has been the lowest it has been in over 25 years. This link features the newest proposal to help create jobs. It is a start but it doesn't really chip the tip of the iceberg of debt that we currently face. It seems to hit one segment of what needs to be done? What do you think?

A New Years Blessings
A friend of mine emailed this to me today. Its' a beautiful sentiment that I thought I would share. Wishing to strive in 2009, many abundant blessings to you.........
A New Year Blessing
That the single, most significant dimension of life is your relationship with the Source of Goodness who never ceases to sing love songs to your soul
That you find meaning, purpose, and vitality in what you do daily
That you treasure your loved ones and let them know how dear they are to you
That you make choices and decisions that reflect your truest self
That you look in the mirror at least once a day and smile in happy amazement
That you remember relationships are what count above all else - more than work or money, or all the material things we spend so much time tending
That you live in an uncluttered manner, enjoying the freedom to be content
That you keep your sense of humor when things don’t go the way you want
That you find adventure in each new day and marvel at the wonders of creationwhich constantly present themselves to you
That you never give up on yourself when others turn away or do not understand
That you are attentive to the health of your body, mind and spirit
That you take risks and accept the growth-full challenges that come to you
That you draw on your inner strength and resiliency when you are in need
That you carry peace within yourself, allowing it to slip into the hearts of othersso our planet becomes a place where violence, division, and war are no more

Past Year and New Year Reflections
Another year come and gone. Phew, in a way I was glad to say goodbye to "2008". I found myself officially a single mom in 2008. A new adventure for me and my girls. It is the hardest job I have ever hard in my life.
As a Realtor, a definite challenge with the market being the way it has been. I choose to ignore the bad and focused on the good and had a better year than I did in "2007". I will chose to do so again. The best thing we can all do for ourselves is to be focused on building a bright future, no matter what.
My German Shephard "Sammantha" went to heaven. Sad for me as she was my first baby, my first dog and a faithful and loving companion for almost 14 years. We were all blessed to have her in our lives. I will forever hold her in my heart and cherish all the memories, laughs and fun that we all had as a family. "My Sammy" may she rest in peace.
I learned a lot this year. A lot about life, challenges, being a mom, and a hard worker. I wish to continue moving forward, helping others make a change for the better in their lives. I wish to be able to use my experiences in life to bring forth the best choices for my clients in the Real Estate business. This will be a better year in Real Estate, an ideal time to buy a home or move up to the home you have always wanted. Mortgage rates now are at all time lows and if you can buy-you should buy now.
This will be an interesting year. A new President brings the hope that we all need to have confidence in changing our world for the better. He needs to be the catalyst to helping our economy build itself back together again. He need to be the driving force to bring jobs back, stimulate the housing market and make our country the country it deserves to be.
This year we all have to work together to be a positive force in our lives and if possible the lives of others. I believe that if we all strive for the best, be the best and believe in the best outcomes it will happen. This year brings many more challenges but I think that hard work and good positive thinking we will all overcome.
Lastly, I viewed a video that sends a positive message to all, it's short but does put things in perspective. Enjoy it and God Bless. I wish you my readers, many abundant blessings, great success, good health, love and happiness in this New Year.........

Cool Green Idea for those who don't like leaf blowers
I personally don't mind raking the leaves in the fall. It's good exercise and a gratifying experience seeing the big pile after a job well done. If you have kids it's even more FUN to watch them take the leaf pile plunge. If you don't like blowers and don't mind raking, click on the link below. HAPPY HOLIDAYS.

Good Deeds for the Holidays - takes a minute
Send a Holiday card to those that have been in service and need our support for their recovery..
Send a card to:
A Recovering American Soldier
c/o Walter Reed Army Medical Center
6900 Georgia Avenue,NW
Washington , D.C. 20307-5001
FOR THE ANIMAL LOVER-
This is pretty simple... Please tell ten friends to tell ten today! The Animal Rescue Site is having trouble getting enough people to click on it daily to meet their quota of getting free food donated every day to abused and neglected animals..
It takes less than a minute (How about 20 seconds) to go to their site and click on the purple box 'fund food for animals' for free. This doesn't cost you a thing. Their corporate sponsors/advertisers use the number of daily visits to donate food to abandoned/neglected animals in exchange for advertising.
Here's the web site! Pass it along to people you know.
