Real Estate truly is a love people business. I remember one of my clients some year ago. I met her and she had a young daughter. She was distraught at the time. The father of the child was not claiming the child and she was homeless. I showed her a house it was a very small house and got her special financing and she got the house and moved in a month later. What makes my industry so exciting is I get to help people reach dreams in reference to the housing. It very encouraging when help a person clean up their credit and move into a new home. My heart skips a beat every time I sell a house. I have been bought to tears many times when clients fine a dream home. Also, when I have had to help tenants and elderly get moved on from a property that has been very emotional. I had a tenant once who had lived 80 years in her client’s home and I had to help her get a place and et packed up. Yes, we had tears together as she moved into a place of her choice. Motivation is a quality needed for Real Estate and a true desire to help people. Having a home of your own to raise your children is very important. Some whom I helped have worked so far to save for the largest purchase that most people make which is a house. I love helping people save the house that have invested a lifetime as well. I have had many occasions where I have helped me save their home from foreclosure. That was a great feeling. I have my clients let me speak in their behalf and the bank are nice.

Brown Paper Box
It was a rainy day in the fall in 1992. Valerie had just purchased her second car. The deal was intense, and Valerie had to jump through a lot of loops to get approved. A few days after the purchase she was sitting at home and she received a brown paper box in the mail, it was wrapped in plain brown wrapping. There was no return address on the box, so she was not sure who it was from. It was addressed to her. Next, Valerie opened the box, and a bunch of balloons came out and some gifts were also included. Valerie told myself this is the greatest gift she ever received. What a great surprise and it’s so classy. The dealership sent me a congratulations box. As a single woman at the time, Valerie was dating different men. She was looking for a husband. One night she went out with some friends, and she met a nice man. At that time, she trusted beauty from within. In other words, he was not the most handsome guy. The next day after they met they stayed on the phone all night laughing and he said yes marriage was something he would like to entertain. They became very good friends and they started to fall in love. He kept making a lot of excuses as to why he could not spend time together face-to-face with Valerie. It was a infatuation and Valerie quickly became hooked on his attention. She longed each day for the calls from him. One day along the way he told me he did not want to marry her or be her girlfriend or her wife. He hurt me deep inside. Valerie wanted him gone from this earth that was how deep she hurt. She had been seeing this guy who was not serious to marry her. He was playing a lot of mind games. He pretended they were close but not even friends at times. It was very painful to handle. Well, the woman would not take no for an answer so next she went and bought a large box and wrapped it in brown paper box. Like the one she received from the car dealership. Valerie did not put a return label on the box, and they could not identify it. She put helium balloons and other nice gifts and a I Love You card in the box. She, Valerie, told myself she would win this man’s heart. The news was something she had not been watching much. Her favorite pass time was reading, and she hardly ever watched TV. Valerie found out later on the six o’clock news that many people were receiving boxes and when they opened they were exploding and causing bodily harm. Later she called Samuel and ask, “Did you receive a package”. He confirmed they had received a box with no return label, and they had put it in the middle of the back yard. They were afraid to open the box. Valerie told them it is from me, it’s safe to open. After that they opened it and all the balloons came out and he enjoyed the gift. Around three week later she called Samuel and his mom said she was sorry to inform her he had a stroke and was in the hospital. Love was in her imagination; she quickly went out and bought house shoes and sleep wear and brought it to the hospital. When she arrived, the family mistreated her and did not welcome her visit. Samuel was not taking his blood pressure medicine and so he had a stroke. Miserable was Valerie, why does he not love me she asked herself. Samuel would not love her and he stopped taking her calls even before the stroke, she really loved him. Valerie then met another man and feel in love quickly. After a whirlwind relationship of only two months, Frederick got on his knees and begged for Valerie's hand in marriage. Thankfully she said yes, they married first and then had sex. They had a beautiful wedding with over one hundred in attendance. Their reception was on a boat out of San Pedro, California. Valerie ran into Samuel again he and his family one day. They were able to see her happy face with a man who loved her back. Oh, that Brown Paper Box scared the daylight out of those people. They thought Valerie was a real mentally crazy lady, love struck. The box was a surprise.

Funk Team Duo
You must be kidding the Producer of the Funk Team Duo Music Video said, why are we in this dirty Barn? It all started one late after noon and Martha and Stanley the CEO and main Producer and Co-Producer of the company, decided to record in the studio. The sound was great, and the groove was good. Queen Vista served as the representative. Queen got dressed up and went out to meet many different Record executives. Currently record deals are less common. This was before the internet took over and most deals were still written in person. On this occasion Martha and Stanley had a smooth style. The photo shoot they had showed them as very sleek duo wearing all black attire. Queen Vista did her job well she persuaded the record company to sign a record deal for the Funk Team Duo. Imagine the practicing and dancing and wearing all black and sexy. Then something magical happens. Suddenly the dance floor turns to a skating rink, and they circle it again and again. They are now singing, dancing and skating. After that you see Queen Vista and some other executive sitting around a table. They are discussing the set of the Video. In the middle of the table is a speaker and you hear Martha and Stanley say “We want to shoot this Video in a Old Dusty Barn". The executive’s hair was standing on their heads. What happened to that sleek black look you were wearing? Well Stanley said just trust us we want to shoot on farm. The next day we arrived at the set, it was a really run-down barn. All the extras and the main act dressed in farm gear. The Barn turned out to be the set for the music video. Horses were also apart of the video and lived in the barn. The music that was playing at that time did not fit the environment. The Funk Team Duo was R & B style artist. Next you see them all dressed up in country clothes and Queen Vista appears. Queen Vista was a little setback at the situation. To get the record deal she sold a very sexy romantic look, not some country bumkins. The record executive bought into it with the original look of cool and classy. But instead, they requested and went to and old dirty barn and shot the music video. Oh, there was hay in the barn and horses. After the video was shot they proceeded to release the single. A full album was ready for release so the record deal was easy to close. Once the first release came out the music did not match the country video. The country video clashed with the R & B music. But there was magic in the Barn the two horses could sing and they started singing a barn song. Next you see Funk Team Duo Martha and Stanley recording that very song. Next you see the pigs on the side of the barn, singing a piggy tune. Something about Fly me to the Moon. Soon another video is shot in the same old barn. This time it is a fit, all the animals sing along and the video succeeds. The song became a number one hit. They started R& B but ended in the country world. The animals singing and dancing reminded all of the famous circus of dancing animal. Although it was a farm video it still had room for something very special. Well the skaters you saw earlier had a skate routine and performed it inside the old barn. What happened to Queen Vista? Queen Vista canceled her contract with Martha and Stanley and moved to Nigeria. Yes, she moved there and we see her getting married first and that takes place in the Barn. You see a Nigerian Dance in the Barn, and life goes on. Darn!

White Rose Royce
In the sky was a bright white light. The light had a shadow, a locket shape like a heart. Next you see 10 white Rose Royce cars, all self- driving with a hologram of a man in the seats. Inside we see a box with a label key which said key to rose shaped locket. The white Rose Royces is flying through the air and suddenly like a vacuum people are sucked in like sardines. All the 10 Rose Royce full to compacity. All those who are sucked in are wearing bodysuits and skull caps to match. However, they are wearing a very thick gold chain and a heart shaped locket. They look stunned what are these lockets for. Well you see in the rear view mirror people on earth panicking and punching one another. Something strange has occurred and people are scared. The six o’clock news shows the Rose Royces travelling through space. All of a sudden you hear as spokesman from the Roses abduction say, “All human will be exterminated who were not sucked up to the travel cars, white Rose Royces. All sudden missiles start shooting to the earth. A lot the homes are exploding. Slowly you see people opening the Lockets and inside is another key. No one could figure out what that key was for. All of a sudden, the 10 Rose Royces disappeared. Just like that gone. The air traffic directors were scanning the whole world on a large screen that encompassed a whole room. The 10 Rose Royces were gone. The world was in a turmoil and thousands died. Once the building and houses were blowing up you seen people killing themselves by gun. A strange amber alert came which said all mankind will be dead in 12 hours and you cannot save yourself or your relative. It was a very dark day. All the people are walking around looking dirty and lost like a homeless person. Then many were getting interview on the street and asking why they did not got sucked up to white Rose Royce. The select number were hybrid humans who were chosen by a higher intelligence. As people were dying you got a glimpse of those sardined in the white Rose Royces. They grabbed the keys and started opening their lockets. Inside the locket was another key. With that key they could pick one human being on earth to have sucked up to safety. One man said I want to bring my mom. Another shouted I have a wife and kids who do I choose? I forgot to tell you earlier all the abducted survivors had a white scarf covering their eyes and it was not until they were allowed to open their heart shaped locket that they could take it off. The gloom was on the doom so many had already died. So many wonders where would they land. Later we see they landed on the moon. The moon had become home for mankind, housing and food everywhere. One man asked can I go back to earth. That’s when the bad news was shed. They had one hour each one to choose who would be sucked up in the last 10 Rose Royces waiting in the crust of the earth. The keys were distributed, and the heart shaped locket unveiled. Red lights start to light up and area time is running out. People had to make a final choice. Many were crying because they could only choose one person. Sixty-one minutes later the entire earth exploded and was gone. The moon became the new human home. Every thing was modern, and everything was clean. Mankind had to start over, and they did. The white Rose Royce was never seen again.

Yarn Meditation
In the middle of the night, I pulled out my knitting needles and started to knit. I was only 10 years old but I wanted to make a hat. I started to knit but ones knows if you knit it makes a problem if to miss a stitch. I had to try again. I had one elderly lady who lived close by. I would go to her house and listen to her stories, and she taught me how to quilt. The blankets she made were very beautiful and I learned so much. As I found my peace and learned to quilt, I felt as if there was nothing I could not do. I was taught to knit with a goal in my mind to pay attention as I made worked. Yarn as so many uses, I made crocheted place mats to sit on the table. All the moments I spent crafting made my heart rejoice. The second thing I made was for my cousins’ horse who she kept in the stables. I bought some pillow and then I ask myself, what color yard to I want to add my initials. Another relaxing project is decorating your pillows. Oh yes, I had to make sure I had the right size needles, this project was needle point. Then my cat had some baby cats. Every time I pulled out the yarn the cat started playing and jumping. I went to the local fabric store, and I got a pattern for a cat sweater. I followed all the instructions carefully. I order some music for stress relief and played it as I crocheted. I fell to sleep with the crochet needle I my hand. When I was in high school, we had a competition, and it was embroidering beautiful art. Once you pick your photo than you picked the yarn you wanted to use. To make the experience more relaxing they had a fountain that ran during the whole competition. I like to do my knitting as well when I am on vacation. It is a way to relax the mind and it can also be colorful. For instance, I designed and knitted covering for the toilet and made a mat to mat for the cabinet. Also, I did a full embroidery on all the trims on the curtains in my first house. That was a big job making curtains for very large windows but when I added the embroidery that eased the task. My last project was a set of baby booties. So many little one has been born during this pandemic. So, when I a baby is on the way I get the yard and start working. One thing about needle work it keep my mind calm and collect. Sometime the time moves so fast when I knit or crochet. It moves quickly when I am quilting as well. That is a skill I never regret learning. Time moves fast and relaxation follows. The calming music also keep the soul satisfied.
