Of course it is and we all know it.  But do we understand how important really understanding and being able to behave appropriately "in spite of it?

Some people spend year in therapy to determine the answers to the meaning of their lives.  Others seem to be intuitively sensitive to themselves and aware.  Still others never think about it and always wonder about how things always seem to go wrong!

Be candid and ask yourself, "which one am I?".  Why not take some time to consider this and the implications on your personal life, your interpersonal life, your work environment and any other area of your life that communication is key! 

Yes, it affects all areas of our lives.  Try the attached Emotional Intelligence (EI) Quiz developed by the Hay Group.

Ben & Jerry's has announced it will be discontinuing its email marketing campaigns and focus their efforts on social media.  Their customers indicated they were losing interest in continuous emails.  B & J's concluded they were not building the relationship with their customers they wanted. 

Those on the email list were invited to join the ice cream giant on Facebook (to date, there are 1.3 million fans) and Twitter, on which they have several profiles named after several of their flavors.  On each profile, there are thousands of followers.

Should you consider an addition to your marketing efforts?  Guess you'll have to weigh your options.

The City of Cincinnati is comprised on 52 different neighborhoods.  Each has a distinctive personality and a history all its own.  Each week, two women breakfast together and create a visual blog for a different neighborhood, describing the special things about each.

The attached video focuses on the area called Sedamsville.  As the women progress through each neighborhood, we'll follow the conversations.

 Enjoy!

4 reasons to sell now

Selling a property in this tough market can seem like a challenge. Here are four factors that actually make this a good time to post a For-Sale sign.

1. Sell low and buy low. Because all property values are down, the loss on the property a home owner sells is really only a paper loss because the next property he buys also will be a bargain. If he buys smartly, when prices come back up in a few years, he'll be in better shape.
2. Down-payment help is widely available. While nothing-down loans have disappeared, it is easy to find down-payment assistance for lower-income and first-time home buyers. Programs vary all over the country, but one good way to find them is to search online for "down-payment assistance programs" and the name of your region.
3. Your uncle has money to share. Besides the $8,000 first-time home buyer tax credit and the $6,500 move-up credit, there are an array of energy tax credits that can make home improvements pay off in cash.
4. Good help is available. Really talented real estate practitioners, contractors, and designers are available and eager for business.

Just post what you're thinking.  If there is something on your mind, a blog is the place to write it (do use common sense and courtesy).  What makes you uneasy about blogging?  I'm really curious.
