Today I'm here to talk about my father, and how he was determined to live, and live very fully. My father's name is Jean, and he'll be 80 years old this year.

Why am I talking about my father? Well, he's taught me a lot about determination and hope.

Between the age of 47 and 51 he had four heart attacks. This left him with one functional chamber in his heart, and a doctor told him that he had about 3-5 years left if he took things easy.

My father made the decision that he didn't want to die sitting down in a chair. He kept on living like he always did, and the rest is history. Now, 29 years later, he's still going strong.

He's still working out on a treadmill, a stair-stepper, he does sit ups, push ups, as well as taking a long walk every day.

Without saying anything, he sets a sterling example of what you can do with heart, determination and drive.

You can do so much more than you believe, you just have to trust yourself to do it!

So, you're thinking about selling your home, and wondering what you're going to do. Most people start with the inside of the house, which is important, but they don't realize how crucial it is to make the exterior of the home look perfect.

The key is to get potential buyers in the door, and that will never happen if the outside of your home is in disrepair. Many people will see the front of your home first, and if it doesn't look nice, they won't even bother to investigate further. Here's our advice:

Start at the curb: Look at your house and be objective. Are your hedges well-trimmed? Is your landscaping neat and tidy? Have you power sprayed the front of your house? Is the door well-painted? Remember, from the outside in you need to have every detail taken care of because people are making judgments from the outside about how your home is taken care of on the inside.
