About Me: 

Am excited to create new adventures. I am a curious and playful grammy. Neighbor chiddles, friends and campsite co-habitants know me as "Grammy".
I am slim and trim and have revised my lifestyle to continue to be.

Used to operate own business, partnered with spouse in another, but... have been semi-retired and getting tired of that. Real Estate licensed for a dozen years from 1981. Relinquished license for family pursuits as well as disappointment with a subsequent broker that soured me on people who do not perform ethically.

I let my disappointment discourage me from exploring options that would have kept me in the mix, at the time. Now I know that 'life comes at you, sometimes' is not a reason to retreat; but to explore, inquire, share, ask for help and overcome.

Since life has come at me and I have erred in my responses to it, I intend to no longer shrink from challenges but to pick myself up, brush myself off and start anew. REI is very appealing since I have the time to gain more knowledge and also capitalize on the life experiences that have given me many of the needed skills and attributes that it requires of a humbled yet successful adventurer.

"You are kind" instead of "thank you" has become my staple response whenever it is possible or necessary to be thankful or just to acknowledge someone doing their job or even just smiling. Grocery clerks included.

Becoming a part of the DG family makes me smile; more Gu-u-u-u-u-d things are on their way.

Since all people are not always agreeable or pleasant in this world we live in, to keep me away from resentments, for example, whenever a driver cuts me off or someone yells out a tirade or is being downright disagreeable or mean, I think to myself------"That is one person's opinion..... AND..... I simply do not share it." This helps me to not ping-pong back in an equal and awful negative response. I smile inside and take a relieved deep breath and keep on keeping on. Try it; it works.

Had to say HELLO!

Have run across a couple of your comments in the passed and have always felt your life force shine brightly through and felt the need everytime to send a great BIG HELLO! to a new "like minded" DG family member....Just cuz! That's how you leave people feeling. So, here it is HELLO AND WELCOME ROSELIE! (if I may) from a somewhat newbee to REI and the DG family myself, Manuel(manny)Flores,Orange County, California. I'm sure you are a wealth of information and answers to questions we all have yet to ask so I will be keeping your DG site acct' close at hand for the very near future. Sorry for the rambling, Welcome again and talk to you soon, Manny.

What a delightful greeting, Manny

If you are half as pleasant in person as you appear in your comments and greeting, you are certain to be moving along nicely in your new found adventure with the DG family and REI.

Rambling ability can work to your advantage and if you can relate well with people you have truly been blessed.

I have become more confident and overcome a shyness that somewhat dominated my past experiences. I have slowly come to realize that most people enjoy being smiled at and find it easier and easier to do. Maybe I just didn't trust before and there were some less than wonderful experiences that were the reason for that, but..... now have found that smiling not only is attractive to others, but allows me to be smiled back at.

Guuuuud things follow smiles. Keep smiling.

Boring is "poor song choice" for our 'American Idol'

Had to find out just what your name meant and I must say I was not at all surprised what I found.

A "dean" is the head of a school who is responsible for discipline and guidance.

WOW WOW

The italian/english dictionary indicates that your last name means
"delightful, charming, kind, gracious"

WOW WOW WOW WOW

So it is clear that you live up to your name and it has an amazing meaning.

Be boring if that is what you call it.

Bore us with your delightful charm and kind and gracious manner.

Continue to be our guide and help us to find the self discipline to find our paths.

not done much with this REI becuz

Within a week of joining the DG family I was diagnosed with cancer and have had a very difficult 8 months of surgeries, recuperation and a gazillion doctor visits and consultations. My family and friends have been absolutely amazing and hyper-supportive but my focus has had to be on trying to get back to somewhere close to "normal".

I know now that the normal from before will not happen physically but will have to find a way to accept that. It is my understanding that when a person is handicapped in one way that extra-ordinary other powers come into play for them to compensate for that which is inferior.

I am optimistic that life can be restructured to still be wonderful and hope and pray that the stamina that I am just beginning to regain will allow me to resume some of my dreams of being helpful to others through REI practices and also become more prosperous.

The last several months have been very humbling and it is my hope that the strenghts that will compensate for the dis-abilities that this illness has created will outweight them.

There, I have said what I have had the hardest time accepting and now lets restart with the DG family where I left off when I was first diagnosed.

Wish me well and please know that the times that I have visited this site and been inspired have been a blessing to me and for that I am eternally grateful. There is so much positive energy here that it was overwhelming and I hope that I can soon get back on track.

My pace is somewhat slower and that concerns me but my mind is still clear and that is inspiring.

most interested in continuing to improve credit so that can more easily qualify for #2. (But wholesaling can't hurt.)

Have already purchased the empowering conversations but can't hurt to have them all in one place and portable. With all the responses here the chance of that are slim but the opportunity is nice to consider.

Eventually expect to hold, rent, exit.
