It’s been nearly a decade since my husband and I moved onto our street. I think we’re what you would consider a transitional neighborhood. We have a grand late 1800s home, a few turn of the century bungalows, some 20s era cottages, and even some drop dead gorgeous newer homes. We house retirees, empty nesters, and young families. Some of us are born and raised Forneyites, while others of us are newbies to town, to the state, even. One thing separates us from any other neighborhood I’ve ever lived in. We know each other. Having moved from an area where folks practically threw rotten tomatoes at you if you waved, that was a prerequisite for me. Of course, when you understand how we wound up here to begin with, it seems like Mayberry came looking for us.

Real estate remains an especially lucrative investment vehicle. According to the S&P 500 Index, the median return on investment in the United States property market is 8.6 percent.

Though the costs associated with income properties can be substantial, the potential rate of return on those properties is significant. Individuals considering an income property investment are urged to speak with a financial advisor, who can shed light on various factors that must be examined prior to purchasing a property. For example, individuals counting on rental property income should familiarize themselves with how that income is taxed before investing.
B Dear Aunt B, I have been dating a man for five years. I don’t feel like I am a priority much of the time. He is older than me and always been single. He is emotionally unavailable. However he does seem to be making some progress. How long should I wait for the change I need?
There’s one thing (of many) that I love about life: you are never done learning. If you are open to new practices, habits and ideas there is so much more to explore and discover. Big things, little things and everything in between. The day you stop learning is the day you stop living.

Hi. We don’t know each other. But Christmas is on the way, and I wanted to introduce myself. Then again, my name isn’t important. I’m nobody special. I just wanted you to know that I’m thinking about you. I’m even praying for you.
