Houses, homes and achieving the American dream
Home. All it takes is for the word to pop into your mind and you are instantly transported — back to where you grew up; to where you live now, surrounded by good food, good friends and laughter from an oft-told tale at Christmas; to an out-of-focus vision of your dream home as it comes into focus.
When your home sweet home is a rental
What if your home, sweet home is, well, a rental? One of the perks of homeownership means being able to paint the wall any color you want and make any number of design choices. But what if, like many in North Idaho, you are a renter?

North Idaho Alliance Women of Impact: Slow down — this is not a racetrack!
To get home my drive takes me past some residential neighborhoods and lately I noticed yard signs popping up. Not “vote for” signs you’d expect nearing an election date but instead bright yellow “Slow Down. This is not a racetrack!” signs scattered along curb sides and grassy swales. At first, I was cautious as the signs ask, then as more and more sprung up, a bit irritated. I’ve lived in my home for years and I know how to drive in my neighborhood and am well aware of the speed limit. I did that “new people” under my breath. Then I laughed at myself. Clearly, I was over-reacting driving along my route.

There will be confusion, chaos, and a loss of productivity and sales. Change is not a bad thing, but there are some important steps to take that will help ease the discomfort of it.
