I've got the latest Mother Lode market numbers for you to look at today. To begin with, you'll notice the overall sales picture including all sales classes. CLICK HERE to view January 2012 compared to January 2011. You'll also want to notice the graphs including the Mother Lode Residential Unit Sales through December 2011 graph versus the previous five years (clickable picture 1 on above left) along with the
Mother Lode Residential Volume Sales graph versus the previous five years (clickable picture 2 on the right) and the Mother Lode Residential Average Sales Price graph versus the previous five years (clickable picture 3 on the left below), respectively. (The data used comes from the Tuolumne Multiple Listing Service and is deemed reliable, but not guaranteed.) As usual, I also have some of the numbers in black and white here:

UNIT SALES: Jan 2012 = 64; Jan 2011 = 42; +52%

VOLUME SALES: Jan 2012 = 10,660,596 ; Jan 2011 = $7,147,657; +49%

AVERAGE SALES PRICE: Jan 2012 = $166,571; Jan 2011 = $170,182; -2%

7 Things to Remember About Mistakes (plus one bonus)

So you've made a mistake. You dropped the ball. You blew it / choked. You failed. (Some people have a hard time ever owning up to that last statement.)

And, if you had your druthers (your own free choice or preference), you'd go back and fix your mistake. Right? You'd change what you did. You'd walk back away from that cliff ~ of the investment you made, the direction you chose, the person you hired / fired, the chance you took ~ whatever it was.

And if you had to do it all over again, you wouldn't do what you did. Right? You would do things differently.

I'd like to suggest that you do things differently NOW than you did in the past to avoid making the same mistake again. (Some people need to read that last sentence a couple of times and let it sink in as a means of evaluating their life.)

To go along with that, take to heart the following list which is meant to help you minimize the times you flub (make a mess of something)...

7 Things to Remember About Mistakes:

1. You will make some from time to time (nobody's perfect).
2. You don't have to repeat them.
3. Some lessons can only be learned through mistakes (and no other way).
4. You just might be better off having made a mistake.
5. Some beat themselves up over their mistakes (don't do it).
6. Sometimes a mistake turns out to be a good thing.
7. Admitting mistakes is a sign of character.

BONUS: Go easy on others when they make a mistake since you're a mistake maker, too. :)

How do you say, "I love you"? On Valentine's Day some of us say it with flowers, balloons, cards, candy, coffee mugs, candlelight dinners, overnight stays, etc. But there are more ways to say, "I love you," than these.

I was brainstorming to come up with a list of words that probably aren't at the top of our minds when it comes to expressing love, but they are ways we say it, nevertheless.

See if you agree with...
