For the most part there is a desire in nearly everyoneto want to get ahead in life. Getting ahead largelydepends on the decisions that one does and doesntmake. The average person makes hundreds and eventhousands of decision daily. Therefore making theright decisions is critical to being successful.

The ability to make good decisions is calledwisdom. Often decisions are made based on dataand gut instincts. I dont know about you, but therehave been plenty of decisions that I made from agut feeling that turned out to be completely wrongbecause it was simply that, a feeling. Ultimately,success comes down to making wise decisions at theright time.

So where do we get wisdom? Simple. The Bible

Living Waters Loves ... Wisdom

Get Wise, Get Ahead!tells us in Proverbs 9:10, The fear of the Lord is thebeginning of wisdom. Fear in this context meansreverence. Wisdom comes from God. He (God) hasgiven you the ability to make wise decisions. You justhave to ask him.

The book of James in the New Testament tells us

that if we lack wisdom we can ask God and that Hegives it generously. The key in asking however is thatwe have faith and do not doubt. Maybe you have acritical decision that you need make. Ask God forwisdom. Allow God to direct and lead you. How doesHe do that? God has spoken to every area of our livesthrough the Bible (The Word of God). Open it up andfind out for yourself. Listen as you read and you willhear a still small voice internally guiding you to all

wisdom and truth.Do you really want to get ahead in life? Get Wise.

Discover God.

How to Pair Colors Like a ProCombining colors is often a challenge for

homeowners. Which color goes nicely with brown?How do you add color to a blue room? The followingtips will give you confidence to add the right hues toyour home.Know The Three Basic Color Schemes

Monochromatic- colorswith the same hue but

different values (brown and taupe; two shades ofblue) Analogous-colorsthatarenexttoeachotheronthe color wheel and thus similar (green and yellow,red and purple). Rooms can use three analogous colorsfor more excitement, like green, yellow, and orange.

A subtler, more sophisticated analogous combinationwould be yellow-green, yellow, and orange-yellow. Complementary - color-wheel opposites.Complementary colors give the most contrast and areexciting to the eye (orange and blue; red and green)Take a Cue from Mother

Mother Nature, that is! Colors that are found

together in the great outdoors are also beautiful whencombined in the home. Think of a light blue skypaired with silvery white clouds. Or a forest with itscombination of greens mixed with tree bark brown. Ifits pleasing in nature, itll be sure to please you inside,as well.

Look to Your Closet

Think about the color combinations you enjoywearing. What accent colors do you add to youroutfits? Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of thePantone Color Institute, says, If you look and feelgood with those colors on youll like them aroundyou.

When adding new color to your home, remember tostay classic with your largest, most expensive pieces.That way, when you choose to make any changes,you just need to switch small accessories and otherinexpensive items. Easy!

Doing Good Does You Good(NAPS)Not only does volunteering help the

communities you volunteer in, but the latest researchshows that it could be good for your health.

A recent survey by United- Healthcare andVolunteerMatch, a nonprofit organization that connects

people with causes, found a connection betweenvolunteerism and a healthier lifestyle.

The survey found that 68 percent of volunteers feltphysically healthier after volunteering, and 73 percentof volunteers agree that it lowered their stress levels.

VolunteerMatch also partners with UnitedHealthcare

to encourage volunteering among employees. Nearlythree-quarters of its employees volunteered last year.In addition, UnitedHealthcare launched Do Good.Live Well. an initiative designed to inspire service andvolunteerism across the country.

The survey shows that the rewards of volunteeringinclude a healthier community, a healthier workforceand a healthier you.

To find a place to volunteer, visit www.volunteermatch.org, or learn more about UnitedHealthcares volunteerprograms at www.dogoodlivewell.org.

P = Pending / CS = Closed / = Short Sale / = Foreclosure

Seven or eight months ago, I wrote that I anticipated strong sales in the first half of 2010.

This prediction was based in part on the first time homebuyer tax credit, which ended for

good on June 30, 2010. I knew the incentive would encourage more people to buy in the

first half of the year, which it did.

My point is, although the tax credit is now over, the statistics for the second quarter of

2010 and even for July show that there have been lasting benefits for the hou sing market.

The most important benefit is ho w dramatically inventory has decreased, and what it means

for the coming months.

At the end of June 2010, inventory in the Naples, Bonita, and Estero market areas had

fallen 14 percent since the same time in 2009. Even more interesting, the largest decreases

were not in the lowest price range, $250,000 and less, which is where most of the activity

has been until recently. The $250 ,000 to $500,000 price range saw a dramatic decline in

inventory from 3,429 at the end of the second quarter in 2009, to 2,727 in 2010 but the

most astonishing drop was in the $2 million and up price range. In that category, inventory

fell 25 percent between 2009 and 2010.

The drop isn't just because of the increase in sales in the first half of the year, although

that certainly did help. It is also partly to do with a significant drop in new listings. With

5,534 new listings in the second quarter of 2010, our new listings are at the lowest they've

been since 2005, and almost 20 percent lower than they were in the second quarter of 2006,

when the real estate crisis was at its worst.

Sales also increased dramatically during the second quarter of 2010. There were 3,099

closed sales between April and June, a whopping increase of 20 percent over first quarter.

That's also 18 percent more than second quarter of last year, when there was only 2,620

closed sales. July's sales did drop 676 closed sales for the month, down 19 percent from

July of last year but we expected that would happen after the first time homebuyer tax

credit ended. Because the tax credit expired at the end of June, it encouraged homebuyers

to buy earlier in the year than they might have originally

been planning, causing the sales figures to rebound a bit in

July.

Despite the drop in closed sales in July, year-to-date

sales for 2010 are still 25 percent higher than they were

last year. Furthermore, the other trends we have seen in the

second quarter continue through July, indicating that the

impact of the tax credit will last beyond its actual deadline.

For instance, the increase in prices that we saw the first

half of the year continued through July: The average

sales price last month remained the same as in June, and

increased nearly 10 percent over July 2009. Also, both

new listings and current inventory for July 2010 are down

11 percent from this time last year.

The statistics for second quarter brought good news,

but it wasn't entirely unexpected we knew, after all, that

the tax credit would have an impact on the number of sales

the first half of the year. What is especially encouraging

is seeing the trends in inventory and price continue into

July, and realizing what this means for the coming months. With the inventory at its current

levels, we have less than a one-year supply. As a result, the market is stabilizing, especially

in the lowest price category: homes selling for $250,000 or less. Some areas are even seeing

a shortage of available homes, which is leading to a modest increase in prices. After the high

we experienced in the first and second quarters, we will likely see a noticeable slowdown

in the next couple of months, but I think we are also seeing the long-term impact of the tax

credit coming to fruition.

As a real estate agent specializing in Lee and Collier Counties, I have seen market trends

come and go, and I have a good feel for what is coming next. If you would like to talk to me

in greater detail about what we expect to see in the third and fourth quarters, please feel free

to give me a call. My door is always open!

Air Conditioning Maintenance Essential

For Indoor Comfort

Around the House

Air conditioning systems are essential forcomfortable living in Florida and with a few simplesteps, keeping cool can be a breeze.

The most basic and important thing people cando to keep air conditioning systems working properlyand make them last as long as possible is to changethe air filter regularly, says Steve Marino, founderand CEO of Home-Tech. With more than 30 yearsservicing air conditioning units and appliances inSouthwest Florida, Home-Tech has extensive expertisein maintenance, particularly in our climate.

Air filters should be changed or cleaned about oncea month. When choosing a filter, youll want to payattention to its minimal efficiency reporting value,or MERV rating. They range from one to 20 and the

higher the MERV, the more particles it will filter outof your air. Most flat washable or disposable filtersare between one and four, while pleated or extendedsurface filters fall between five and 13. Filters ratedhigher than this are definitely better at cleaning theair, but may also begin to block air flow. Its a goodidea to ask your indoor comfort professional forrecommended filters for your system.

An annual system cleaning and check up shouldalso be part of your air conditioning maintenanceplan. Companies like Home-Tech will give yoursystem, including the condenser, coils, vents andduct work, a thorough inspection and cleaning to

make sure all parts arerunning properly and asefficiently as possible.These checks may uncoversome potential problemsthat youll want to addressimmediately, like leaks induct work, low refrigerantcharge, or noisy operationwhich could cost you a lotof un-air conditioned timeand expense later on.

Your air conditioningsystems duct work isone of its most important

components Marinosays. If youve gotleaks in your duct work,chances are good theresat least one room in yourhouse that always hotor cold no matter whattemperature you set your thermostat. Thats becausecool (or warm) air is escaping through the duct workon its way to that room. Leaky ducts also make yoursystem less efficient and more expensive to operate.

Home-Tech includes a complimentary annual cleanand check in all of its service agreements, which also

Home-Tech technician

includes unlimited service on your air conditioningsystem and major home appliances including partsand labor, for one low annual fee, so owning yourhome can be stress free. For more information, callKimberly Riching at 239-823-6953.

Tips For Keeping Pets Slim,Trim And Healthy, Naturally If you think obesity is an epidemic that affects only people, you may be barking up thewrong tree. Pets also have to watch their weight.

According to the Association for Pet Obesity Prevention, 44 percent of dogs and 57percent of cats are overweight or obese, and that percentage is rising, with older animalsdisplaying an even higher incidence of falling victim to those extra pounds. Veterinariansreport that overweight pets are also more likely to suffer from arthritis, heart andrespiratory diseases, liver disease, skin problems, hip and joint disorders and diabetes.

Just as for people, eating right and getting exercise are fundamental to a pets health,says board-certified veterinary nutritionist Dr. Edward Moser. Paying attention to the

ingredients and amount of food that your pet consumes, along with increasing theiractivity levels, will help the pounds come off and stay off.To help fat cats and pudgy pooches slim down, Dr. Moser says owners should choose abalanced diet for their pets with ingredients that can help naturally solve this challenginghealth problem. This special, lower-calorie recipe is formulated to help them achievetheir weight-loss goals. A healthy blend of fiber satisfies hunger, and guaranteed levelsof glucosamine and chondroitin support overburdened hips and joints.

Instituting a controlled eating plan is a step in the right direction to maintaining yourpets health, but increasing your pets activity level is sure to help, too. Exercise is essentialfor a pets happy and long life. It doesnt have to be strenuous, but regular exercise is key.Setting aside a period of time each day for your pets physical activity helps encourage aroutine and also gives your pet something to look forward to. Take your dog for frequentwalks and be certain your cat has room to romp. That can help them burn off excesscalories. Remember, two extra pounds on a small dog can be like 20 extra pounds on a

person, says Dr. Moser. Its important to watch your pets weight.Did you know that 44 percent of dogs and 57 percent of cats areoverweight or obese?

A Family Mission Statement Can Help Any Family Manage

Assets, Philanthropy and DirectionA family doesnt need a surname like Vanderbilt

to benefit from a family mission statement. A missionstatement is a collaborative document created by one ormore generations of family so standards and goals canbe set for the handling of all family assets, includingbusinesses and philanthropy in particular.

While mission statements arent legal documents in fact, many are done both in written form and onvideotape as a companion to legal wills and directives-- their purpose is to make a record of the familys

values, goals and aspirations and how those sentimentsshould drive future decisions about family wealthmanagement, business succession plans and charita
