Inspirational Speaker and Fitness Coach Laurie Bagley will be speaking at The Spiritual Enrichment Center in Redding on Wednesday, October 29 at 7:30 PM. If you have ever had the opportunity to spend time with Laurie and hear of her incredible experiences you can’t help but but be motivated and inspired. Anyone interested in making their personal dreams become a reality should plan on attending.
Laurie will be presenting a seminar about motivation, dedication and manifesting even difficult goals and dreams that is sure to inspire you, excite you and get you going on dreaming big and making the dream a reality.
Laurie’s story is compelling. She is one of only a handful of Women to successfully summit Mount Everest and uses that experience to illustrate the joyful rewards of goal setting. Through her climb which she called “ Climb for the Children” she was able to raise money and awareness for the “untouchable children” in India. Laurie continues her humanitarian efforts by supporting KIRF, the Kirwin International Relief Foundation, with a portion of all her speaking fees going to help others help themselves in a respectful and environmentally sustainable manner. Cost to attend is only $15 for what may truly be a life changing event. Hope to see you there!

The end of summer sure has snuck up on me! Hard to believe but tonight is the last Marketfest of 2008. If you haven’t attended Marketfest before you should definitely make it a point to stop by. Buenos Aires powerhouse Los Pinguos will entertain Redding with their distinctive sound. Labeled “The South American Beatles” Los Pingous serves up a mixture of Latin rhythms, performed with Spanish guitars, a Cuban Tres, Peruvian cajón (box-drum) and harmonizing vocals that’s sure to have Redding up and dancing. Marketfest is held in Library Park behind the Lorenz Hotel. See you there!

Ahhh, to live in the mountains of Northern California. What a beautiful place to call home! Here in the “State of Jefferson” we are blessed with many mountain communities where you can enjoy living in the shade of towering firs, cedars and pines relaxing to the sounds of nature. Creeks, rivers, ponds and lakes are plentiful and the mountains are filled with trails. From Igo-Ono to Shingletown, Hat Creek to Manton this region is dotted with small towns, big timber, big views and a simpler way of life.
Of course living in one of our wonderful remote communities does require a bit more self sufficiency and preparedness. Recently while performing a final walk through with a client/friend on a home he is purchasing on Battle Creek in Shingletown we had the opportunity to learn what steps the sellers had taken over the course of the last 20 years. Here are a few tips (complete with links to informational sites) we picked up that apply to living in any of our rural areas;
Support your local Volunteer Fire Department. Any donation goes a long way. These are the people you will be depending on in the case of emergencies.
Become a supporting member of both Air Ambulance services in our region. The cost (about $40 a year) is minimal compared to the potential savings and peace of mind. Membership means that should you ever require air transportation to a Redding Hospital you will not be charged more then your insurance will cover. On many policies this can be thousands of dollars. For those who live in remote areas or even “townies” who enjoy day trips and camping this is a great idea.
Join a group or club in your area. From the bulletin boards so prominent in front of the local markets, community news letters and volunteer fire department fund raiser events you are bound to meet others with similar interests. Knowing your neighbors is part of the joy in living in a small town.
Feel free to Contact Us for more information and a list of homes and properties available in the small town of your choice.
Happy House Hunting!
