CORE VALUE #4

-

 "REAL ESTATE"  I am a product of my life's journey.  I have been a Pastor,  Dept Director for a local business,  City of Longview S/W & Recycling Director, small business owner,  elected city official (Longview School Board).  etc. etc. etc.  I have had successes and failures along the way.  Life's experiences carry value because they are the foundation in which one builds upon.  It's what I used to build my Real Estate business.   I have found the perfect job for me as a Realtor.  It challenges me, it encourages me, it provides for me and each day I look forward to talking to people like you, people I care about.  I also love the opportunity of meeting new people that are right around the next corner.  In Real Estate I have found my happy place.

I am going to plant, fertilize, water, and harvest a few vegetables this year.  Perhaps you should consider joining me. Here is why: During World War II, people's spirits were troubled and life was complicated. Supplies were short and people were worried. The Hoover administration asked families to help America by planting vegetable gardens in their backyards, churchyards, city parks, and playgrounds. These small and essential gardens became known as “Victory Gardens”. Victory Gardens were important because families worked together and they felt the satisfaction of nurturing and watching their vegetables grow. Not only did their gardens sustain them, they also allowed families to share with their neighbors and promote a spirit of giving. Victory Gardens gave Americans the opportunity to focus on something other than the war.    83 years after the first Victory gardens, Life is again difficult, with a pandemic, inflation, high fuel prices, etc, etc. Perhaps ...
