WooHoo! The L Word is back

Los Angeles' Lesbian Community gets so excited about the launching of a new season of The L Word . There are all kinds of parties all over town tomorrow night. And seeing that the show is airing no less than 3 times in a row, the parties will be going all night long. My first stop will be at HRC's big fundraiser event at The Factory. If you want more information, you'll find it by clicking here.

Thank Goodness, it's 2008!

I had a most unexpected new years eve. My neighbors Dave & Alice throw a party to celebrate New Years in London, since Dave and many of his friends are from England. He logs onto the BBC over the internet and plays Big Ben gonging at 4pm our time. Well the afternoon became the evening, and we celebrated new years twice! I drank way too much, and am certainly feeling it today.

I don't know about you, but I am so relieved to have 2007 behind me. It was a year fraught with big challenges for me, mostly around money. The biggest lesson I learned, though, was how unnecessary money is in the grand scheme of things. Yes, it's critical to have in this era. But it is nothing but a tool.  Having it or not does not define us as people. We are no better or no worse as people with or without it. And who we are and how we make a difference in the world is what matters.

In 2008 I resolve to deepen my connections with the Gay & Lesbian Community in Los Angeles. I resolve to deepen my connections with my local community of Santa Monica. I resolve to spend more time on the phone connecting with my past clients. I resolve to spend more time on the phone, in general. My colleague says: "The Money is in the Phone". I see it a little differently. Relationships are in the phone. As a result of those relationships, prosperity flows....Oh yeah, I also resolve to date more!

Here's some great resolutions from the GLBT community and Human Rights Campaign Fund

Any predictions about the real estate market in '08? I think there will continue to be people who need and want to buy and sell real estate. I think there's never a bad time to buy real estate, especially if you're buying for lifestyle. Rents here in LA are over $2500/month for a 1 bedroom apartment! That's not to say you could buy a place for a smaller or equivalent monthly payment...you really can't. But for a bit more, you can be owning and applying over $30,000 a year toward a mortgage instead of paying your landlord's mortgage.
