The other day as I was talking to a friend about some women health related issues and I had a bit of a minor epiphany. You see my friend asked me what things she could do that were simple to implement and didn t require a major lifestyle change to try and stay healthy. I told her that it seemed like a strange question coming from her, since I ve always known her to be a fit individual. But, she wanted my opinion. She later confessed that she was picking my brain to get ideas for a book that she wanted to write about fitness for women. Anyhow, this got me to thinking that she was right. There are

probably many people who just overlook the simple things, not because they don t know, but because we get so busy that we forget. And, sometimes we need to be reminded. So, I decided to write a brief article myself.

Several years ago I worked with a young couple who wanted to purchase their first home. They had a toddler and a new baby on the way and were anxious to move into their new home before the baby came. The husband s family was helping them with the purchase and they needed a house with a guest unit for his parents to stay in when there were visiting.

After looking at many properties over a period of almost three months we finally found the perfect property for them. The main house had three bedrooms and two bathrooms which would suit the family perfectly. There was also a large den where the husband could set up his musical equipment.

Additionally, there was a separate guest house with one bedroom and a bath. The parents would be very comfortable there and everyone would have some privacy. The lot was on almost half an acre and the backyard was like a small park where the children would be able to play. The price was right and we opened escrow after a short period of negotiation.

I don’t spend a lot of money decorating my home. Many people
don’t want to spend the time or money to decorate with the
seasons, but over the years I have learned some ways to
creatively seasonally decorate that have cost little or next to
nothing.

Because I work a lot, I don’t spend very much time decorating my
home. When I’m updating my home to a new seasonal theme, I don’t
spend more than a couple of hours arranging and rearranging to
get a nice seasonal effect. Here are some of the ways I’ve
learned to organize my seasonal accessories:

It is a common belief that motorcycle clubs are formed to commit horrible acts of crime and terrorize neighborhoods. Thankfully, this is rarely the case. One or two notorious groups (think Hell’s Angels) have painted a stark image of motorcycling.

In reality, there are thousands of groups in the world today. Starting in 1903, the Yonkers Motorcycle Club was formed. The group met to share their love of motorcycles. The Yonkers Motorcycle Club is the oldest of its kind. San Francisco followed suit a short while later. These two dominated the scene until the 1950s when more groups formed.
