We have recently updated our website to make it easier for you to navigate. We have made some enhancements and added more information on the value of having an agent. Please feel free to email or call anytime with questions or comments or suggestions. And thank you for stopping by...
Here are a few of the recent pics we've taken around the office:
Spring is in the air -- lots of baby animals around here.
Today's pic is one of our kitties meeting a squirrel for the fist time:
We also polished some quartz picked up along our walks...
Hope you enjoyed your Sunday with loved ones.
We were strolling along Main Street in Ramona and came upon a lovely little gift and book shop. Once inside, the time flew by! Beautiful, unique offerings -- jewelry, books, spiritual gifts, crystals and quartz, incense, fairies, and so much more. What a delight.
We learned she likes to focus on local businesses, authors, and service providers as a way to give back to the community. When we visited yesterday, guess whose local author's books were proudly displayed in her shop? That's right, Arlene Maguire!
We are so pleased and grateful to see our books in so many places, and especially, in a place owned by such a warm-hearted, friendly owner. We encourage you to stop by and visit -- you're sure to find something you like. Stacy is always there working (Mon. - Sat.) -- tell her we said HELLO.
Unicorn Books and Gifts is also conveniently located en route to Julian -- so it's a great tourist destination, as well!
To become an agent, strict educational requirements, ethics training, and testing are required prior to every license renewal.
Before you become a client:
An agent can help you understand the differences between plans and benefits of the various policies and the various insurance companies.
An agent can help you find the most cost-effective options to suit your needs and budget requirements.
Once you become a client, an Agent can help in numerous ways:
· Extended hours
· Faster response time
· Advocate for clients
· Help people to get procedures approved or claims processed
· Enrollment assistance – save you time
· Help individuals and small businesses with their paperwork
We often save you money. We review your current plan and look at other options for the purpose of cutting costs.
As a reminder, there is NO cost to the consumer to use an agent. And the rates are the same, whether you use an Agent or go directly to the insurance company to purchase your policy.
And just for fun, here is another recent picture of a beautiful sunrise in the Southern California mountains where our offices are located...
The holidays are upon us and the fun is in the air. Arlene had the honor of doing an author appearance (for her children's books) at her granddaughter's school...
Her favorite comment overheard by one of the students was, "You didn't tell me your grandma was a famous author!"
The rainbow looked as if it was right in our front yard!
Happy Holidays and Happy New Year, everyone!
John Malkovich was on Charlie Rose (PBS) last night and one of the things he said felt worthy of sharing.
"If you're anywhere as lucky as I have been, but even if you're just moderately lucky, the world is in fact, an exquisitely beautiful, endlessly fascinating place filled often with spectacular people."
Good sentiment. It's a nice way to feel about our human existence. Nice reminder. Thanks to all of you spectacular people in this beautiful world for reading our blog.
We wanted to share our newest critter hanging out around the offices. We think this is a female, checking out the new digs for a future nest. We hope she decides to stay.
We were also trying to figure out what kind of sounds an owl makes?
So we looked it up:

Our guess is this owl would say WHOOO !!!!
Well, we haven't posted to this space for quite some time. We've had a cancer diagnosis in the family -- a major stroke within the family -- and a very full workload. We're sharing life's challenges along with everyone else. Seems to be a challenging time for most. The good news is, we learn and grow from these experiences (it's true), and both patients are on the mend. Thank goodness.
We realize we can't always change events that occur in this lifetime, but we can change our thoughts and reactions to them. We can create a perspective that serves us best -- minimizing stress -- and maximizing happiness. Getting enough sleep and eating the right foods has helped to fight off the negativity.
We're sending out our annual update letters to all our clients this week, and we're always here when you need us. We hope you had a nice Halloween and are gearing up for the Holiday season. We'll try to update our blog more often. We like staying in touch with everyone and we appreciate you all so much.
People really love their pets...
In all kinds of ways...
Houdini-like escapes...
And big ol' bear hugs...
Even wild animals are adorable...
And ones trying to hide...
Thank you to all who contributed!
Keep 'em coming...
