The end of the year often brings a moment of reflection for all of us. As a Royal Realty agent and the company’s marketing manager, I’ve reflected on the last year and also on what my goals are for 2022. The feeling I get is ultimate gratitude for what I’ve been able to accomplish.
Makiki Valley Loop Trail Three Words! Misleading, Long, Misquotes First of all, I had a hard time finding the beginning of this trail!

I LOVE a free meal, but that’s hard to find. Kids, however, always get FREE stuff! I remember my 2-year-old Ethan would always get a free popsicle or a bag of chips from this nice Korean lady who owned a Korean market in Florida. It was a small market but the only Korean market nearby.… Continue reading Kids Eat Free!
