Have you…
heard about The Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin? I read this book over the holidays. Each month, the author pursued a different set of resolutions -- go to sleep earlier, tackle a nagging task, bring people together, take time to be silly -- along with dozens of other goals. She read everything from classical philosophy to cutting-edge scientific studies, from Winston Churchill to Oprah, developing her own definition of happiness and a plan for how to achieve it. She kept track of which resolutions worked and which didn’t, sharing her stories and collecting those of others through her blog (created to fulfill one of March’s resolutions). Bit by bit, she began to appreciate and amplify the happiness in her life. At times a touch sickly sweet, but I would recommend it.
I also wanted to update you on the challenge I suggested a few months ago on documenting what you are grateful for. Well a good friend and I began emailing each other daily, 3 things we were grateful for that day. My friend is the grateful task master! It was a challenge for 21 days, but with her encouragement/coaxing/threats, we have carried on. She is much better at committing to it daily than me, but when I do it, I really do think about things in a different way. Try it! Whether you keep it in a journal or find a grateful task master like I have, you will see your life in a new way.

A few ways to make a design statement in 2013
Update what you already own: Taking what you have and reworking it can create amazing results. I recently bought all new pillow covers for all my existing living room throw pillows. Without spending a fortune, you can have a winter look and a summer look.
Try high gloss paint: On unsuspecting walls or ceilings, high gloss paint adds shine and polish. This idea isn't new, but if you want some shimmer, try out an area that is unlikely...

New sellers are serious sellers.
For much of 2012, we saw a collective hesitation on the part of buyers and sellers in the Greater Vancouver housing market. This attitude and behavior was reflected in lower than average home sale activity and modest fluctuations in home prices.
How does the new year look? The New Year started as they typically do, with less homes listed for sale. Total Residential Active Listings in Greater Vancouver are down 30% from November 30, 2012. Total properties listed...

Happy New Year!
Attached are the end of December 2012 Sales and
Listings Stats. The New Year started as they typically do, with less homes
listed for sale. Total Residential Active Listings in Greater Vancouver are
down 30% from November 30, 2012. Total properties listed for sale during
December were down 49% to November 2012 and down 16% to December 2011. While
sales in December are down from November 2012 and December 2011, we’ve seen
that through 2012 so it is not news.
