It has been awhile since I have been able to write in this blog. We have moved our residence to a wonderful gated enclave in Newport Beach; we have joined the stunning and compelling real estate force, the McMonigle Group in Newport Beach. Affliated with Coldwell Banker Residential and Coldwell Banker Commercial NRT. The McMonigle Group, lead by the visionary John McMonigle has been named by the Wall Street journal recently as the #1 Real Estate Group in the nation. The global reach of the company is palatable; the affliations John has created with his far reaching insight has changed the face of real estate practice in Southern California and beyond.

I have included photos of only a small handful of homes the Group has listed in Newport Beach, Laguna Beach which includes Emerald Bay and Irvine Cove. The photos of rooms where people love to gather, spend time together over a meal and some good liquid refreshment and create memories together: the kitchen and dining rooms; sitting alcoves; all rooms with a view. No matter if you are in a cottage; a thatched buri in Tahiti, a "petite manior" looking out to vineyards, a cabana with the sound of the sea as your muse, a grand high ceilinged dining room over looking your part of the world, we all are people who love to share time and space; meals and good conversation. So, with the beginning of summer upon us, lets plan some special times to spend with those we cherish; with those we want to know better; with those with whom we can share ideas; even do some business over a glass of wine, creating a deeper understanding of the other person's needs; and, listen. My perceptive son Seth always reminds himself and me that listening is an art. As Jim says, you already know all your own stories; listen to someone elses'. Good advice.
A very Happy Father's Day to all the great Dad's out there and be grateful to your Dad even if he is no longer with you. He helped give you life and that in itself is so much to be grateful for, always.
