From my 14-year-old daughter, the very girl that brought you “Louis Vuitton and the French Revolution”, and the (unpublished) account of a local police chase which, according to Emily, resulted in the bad guy “varnishing a weapon”, we have her weather report: A chance of participation. We call her our little American Idiom.<\/p>\n

So I am here with my New Year’s resolution: Participation. Ardell<\/a> warned me, in response to my coming-out acceptance speech when asked to join the Bloodhound gang:<\/p>\n

Welcome to “the juggling act”! Let’s see…my blog, their blog, my blog, their blog eenie meenie minie mo…<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Oh, youthful exuberance! It has become clear that time management is becoming critical. Unlike Greg, I am not a Broker-Owner, just a Broker Associate. Unlike Russell, I don’t have a multi-level office support structure in place; my organizational chart includes Steve and myself. Unlike all of the other contributors (Cathleen excepted), I don’t have a wife. I am the CEO, COO, CFO, IT and Marketing and Business Development and Human Resources Departments, the wife, the mother, the orderer of the take out dinners, and the cleaner of the litter box. So Ardell’s prophetic juggling act has me, at present, precariously poised on a high wire without a net below.<\/p>\n

Despite this, I, like Dan<\/a>, am committed to more frequent posting of substance (the “of substance” part being the operative) and more consistent and meaningful commentary. Somehow, amidst all of this madness, Steve and I will continue to represent clients in 40 to 50 transactions a year – Pathetically modest by Russell’s standards, but as Greg would say, a respectable amount of Ramen.<\/p>\n

Along those lines, I endeavor to accomplish the following in 2007:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Bring more structure to my work day. Being a notes-on-the-back-of-a-cocktail-napkin kind of girl, I have hit the glass ceiling of efficiency with this approach. I need to set times to work, times to play and times to blog. And I need to set some boundaries.<\/li>\n
  2. Produce those podcasts rattling around in my head. I vow to have a how-to library completed by year’s end for consumers, available on-line and on disk for potential clients. I am ever Read more<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
