I’ve been talking and writing about the Sacred Heart Children’s Hospital Clubhouse for over 8 months. From the first task force meetings until the Clubhouse was reopened in June 2010, everyone knew that something special was happening.

Excitement of the Clubhouse abounds! Stories are being told by REALTOR volunteers and the hospital staff. The kids’ smiles are precious and quickly renew our spirits. Certainly our volunteer hours are appreciated and making a difference. You or anyone you know are welcome to come volunteer and catch the spirit.

We’ve put together a short video clip so you can see inside the Clubhouse. Please take a look — it’s a fun place! If you want to know more or have questions, call me or send an email or text anytime.

Just in case any of my clients are interested in what Jim and I do in our spare time here is our daily run down. While both of us have formed our lives around our real estate business, we believe in volunteering. It’s the giving to those around us that gives us a quality life. Earning a living vs making a life. Jim is actively involved with Toastmasters. This group focuses on public speaking and personal development. He goes to the prison and works with a group of people preparing to re-enter society. Another area of public speaking for Jim is organ donation education. There’s more… and occasionally I get him to fix a dripping faucet.

This year I will be president of our Spokane Association of Realtors. To think that my business peers thought enough of me to vote me into this responsibility is humbling. Last year was focused on preparation by national and state associations. 2010 is the big year! I believe in the skill and compassion of my Realtor friends and believe it is my responsibility to guide, inspire and provide the example for personal development and community involvement. The summary of our direction this year is “Realtors serving our community with Heart”! Professionally we serve our clients in the real estate world, personally we give of ourselves—finding the needs in our community.

Follow my blog this year to hear how all of us are making a difference! Our life’s journey is full of joy… finding it one day at a time!

Christmas is about to pop up as reality once again. All of us at Linda Miller Real Estate want to wish you the very best holiday season. Jim and I are very blessed with energies for business, family and volunteer projects. Further, we are grateful for all of our friends and clients that have made our business year a success once again. Thanks also to Mike our photographer and IT guy, the office staff at the north Prudential office… and the list goes on. Merry Christmas everyone!
