Have You, Ever Wondered, If The Storm, Will Ever Pass?

Who can relate to this? What does this photo and saying, mean to you? To me, it means, that we will all have difficulties in our lives and for us all to make the best of things. Life is not easy at times but do not give up. Realize that things have a way of working out. It may not be the way, you want things to work out, but things have a way of working themselves out, most of the time. Have you ever had any circumstances in your life, where you were going through trials and difficulties and the storm, never passed? Sooner or later, storms pass. They may not be when you want them to pass, but they pass, sooner or later. We all have difficulties in life and we all go through difficult times. Do not let anyone tell you any differently. Even the people in your life, who seem to have their act together, go through difficult times. In other words, no matter what may happen in your life, just continue moving forward and do the very best you can, on a daily basis. Do we all make mistakes? Absolutely. Do we all learn? Some learn quicker than others. Why do the same problems continue to reoccur? Perhaps, this is life teaching us that we did not learn enough and that we need to go through the same thing again. I know, I can relate to this. I learned that being bedridden, was a feeling of helplessness but I survived it. Not, once. Not twice but three times. I have learned to keep moving forward in life and work on relationships and learn from my mistakes or not only to forgive myself but be forgiving to others.So, how do we deal with difficult times? Be part of a support group or call others, who care about you. Be part of social platforms and talk about things with others. Let others know that you care about them. Pick up the phone and reach out to others and just let others know, that you are thinking of him or her. I do this, quite often. I call others and leave a message and just let them know, I am thinking about him or her and let them know, that he or she is in my prayers. You see, even though you may not get a callback, this means so much to others, that you are showing you care. Send a card, send flowers. Just let others know that you have him or her in your thoughts, during this difficult time of hardship and that the storm will pass. Whether you get a callback or not, you are still letting others know, you are thinking about him or her. That is most important.All of us have storms in our life, that we go through or experience. Sometimes we just need to play in the rain and enjoy the rain and realize all storms will pass, in time. Another thing, I could be doing more of is playing in the rain and on Active Rain more and writing helpful articles to motivate and inspire others during our unusual days and unusual times. Maybe you are not encountering any storms in your life now. Maybe, you have had to deal with storms in the past. Just know this, sooner or later, we will all experience storms in our life. I remember there is a time to cry, a time to laugh, a time to rejoice, a time to learn. A time to forgive and so much more. Try not to worry. Most of the things we worry about do not materialize or come to fruition. In your times of worry and hardship, try not to make major decisions in your life, that could impact your life. Ever heard the saying, Haste, makes waste. Do not be too hasty in your decision-making. Do not make decisions when you are emotional either. I have learned to ride the waves as they approach. Even if that means riding one wave, after another. Look at the surfer. He or she waits on the perfect wave to ride in. He or she waits on the wave, that looks great. Look at the ocean. You see the waves coming into shore. You see those waves continuing to come and crash onto the shore. Sooner or later, those waves will stop. Those waves will cease to be waves and be really calm. In closing, I want to add one last thing. Learn from your challenges and struggles and your mistakes and keep playing in the rain and continue with life. Sometimes, life is very messy. Sometimes, we do not get our way but learn from it and grow from it. We all choose to grow or not grow. This choice is ours. Learn or not learn.I also want to thank Active Rain, for such a great platform to share our stories and photos with as well as help inspire and motivate, one another, as well as help, educate one another on what we do and offer and what is for sale for properties and services.

What Is The Value of A Home, Having Gutters?

April 1, 2025

How many homes or buildings have you seen, that do not have gutters? I see so many buildings and homes that do not have gutters. This is not good. The purpose of gutters is to divert the water from the roof and channel the water from the roof to downspouts and get the water away from the foundation of the home. We do not want to have water dropping to the foundation of any home or building. Homes without gutters and downspouts create water damage that drops to the foundation of the building and this can create water damage issues to the foundation of the home as well as attract Termites as well as create Mold Removal issues that you do not want or need. Both of these issues cost money to correct. Another thing that homes that do not have gutters create are soil erosion to the yard. What is the purpose of gutters? The purpose of gutters is to divert the water away from the home with downspouts and also add downspout extensions. The farther that you can get the water away from the home, the better off you will be. Why do some homes or buildings not have gutters? Some people think by not having gutters that it will save them money. Well, it does initially save you money but not long term. Long term, it can and does create so many issues. Do people not see or understand the value of having gutters and if not, why do they not see the importance of having gutters, attached to buildings? When you think of gutters, think of a vessel that moves water away from the roof and onto a channel that diverts water away to down spouts to get the water away from the building, as quickly as possible.

Should Basement Water Damage Or Mold Concern Anyone?

March 25, 2025

What kind of issues, do you see from the attached and above photo? Do you see Water Intrusion Issues? Do you see Water Damage that has continued, to enter the basement? Correct the outside of the home from water issues and then I would suggest sealing the basement walls and floor. Of course, before you do any sealing of walls and floors, make sure you clean, before you seal anything. Do you see Water Heater Issues? The water heater, from the photo, has either not been maintained or it is very old. How water heaters need to be drained and flushed, at least once a year. Make sure you turn off the power to the hot water heater first, before you do any cleaning or flushing to it. You can drain the water heater first by using a garden hose and getting the water heater drained and flushed. Everything gets dirty. Everything needs a good cleaning. Notice, the rust or clay staining on the water heater? Do you notice organic growth issues? Would a basement like this concern you, if you were buying or selling the house? Should it concern the buyer or seller? Do you notice a dirty basement? When you are selling a home, make sure the basement is clean as well as organized and take care of any water damage or mold, that you might have. This can be a big turn-off to someone, who is wanting to buy a home. When we have water intrusions, like in the above photo, do you think this can attract Termites? Do you see any handrails on the steps and should there be one? For safety sake, put up a handrail or handrails. We do not want anyone falling. Right? Could the reason that this basement has a moisture issue, be coming from drainage issues from the outside of the home? Are the outside downspouts being diverted away from the home? Does the home even have downspouts that are being diverted away from the home? What other issues can you spot or do you notice? My name is David Snell.

Yes, your skin is an organ. Wink. Below, is my experience with it. My name is David Snell. Back in June of 2022, I was introduced to Glutathoine by a man by the name of Ronen Brown, out of Las Vegas, Nevada. I bought 2 bottles the first month. 2 bottles the second month, 7 bottles the third month, 7 bottles the fourth month and 50 bottles the fifth month. Upon first intoducing the bottle to my body by mouth and swishing it into my mouth, I noticed a warming sensation going down my right leg. My right leg had issues with pain and suffering for many years and so had my back. I gargled and swished my mouth with this product and within days, I was discovering my right leg and back was feeling so much better. I also have been going to a Chiropractor for some 4 years now and getting an adjustment every month from and I found out by applying this product to my mouth and going to my Chiropractor that both of these things were helping my body heal better and quicker. In essence, it is helping my body with aches and pains. Another thing that I noticed was that my energy level had increased, I currently have more energy as a 62 year old than I could ever imagine. I feel like the energizer bunny and it has really been beneficial to me as a owner of a small busienss since 1987 called www.ExecutiveRestoration.com The other thing I noticed about this product is that I sleep better and my sleep is a much deeper sleep than I have ever experienced with any product so far that I have ever been introduced too. I also have to cut my finger nails twice a week, using this product in liquid form. Circulation issues. I noticed that when I went outside that my hands and feet were not getting cold, as the prior year and I found out that this Glutathoine was assisting my body with better circulation and my body was much happier with better circulation. As some of you know, my passion is all things Mold related as well as all things Water Damage related. Since, I have been in business, I have been exposed to so much Water Damage and Mold Inspection and Mold Removal concerns for my clients. One of the best ways I can describe this bottle is that this bottle works like detox in a bottle and this product has helped me Detox my body of toxins that my body. We need to rid the body of toxins and since I have been around so much Mold for so many years performing Certified Mold Inspections and Certified Mold Removial, this has been an experience that has cleaned up my body in so many ways. It is also been very helpful of detoxing my body from so many years of drinking alcohol. I did give up all beer, wine and mixed drinks some five years ago though and I am much happier and more financially rewarded not spending my money on any more alcohol. It feels good to be without and not partake in any more beer, wine or mixed drinks. My body sings without the consumption of alcohol and I am able to make better decisions as well as have better control of what I say and do. Giving up all alcohol that I used to drink was one of the best things, I ever did as a man and business owner. Consuming the product has also given me better taste and smell as well as cleaner blood and better blood flow to organs of my body as well as giving me better mobility and better motion of my arms and legs. Better Bowel Movements. I typically have 3 to 4 per day so this product has helped me rid my body of waste and processes it to get it out of my body. Everyone needs at least 1 Bowel Movement per day and to say that I have 3 to 4 per day is an extra bonus to release unwanted toxins from my body. I have also noticed that my bowel movements are solid, where as before they were loose or runny. I prefer the solid movements and I prefer being healthier that I used to be. Did you know that if you take prescription drugs, that this can deplete your Glutathoine levels in your body? Did you also know that pain medication also can deplete your Glutathoine levels? Did you also know that smoking can deplete your Glutathoine levels? So, if you take pain killers or you smoke or you take prescription medication, you might want to consider keeping your Glutathoine levels up. Some of the ways that I use Glutathoine. Gargle and swish with it and then swallow, For better performance, leave product in my mouth for at least 5 minutes. Spray the roof of the mouth and all sides of the mouth and under tongue and on top of tonue. I like to spray a couple times per day. Spray your nose with a nose misting sprayer. Nasal Spray. Spray the ears. Colon cleansing. Nebulizer. Breath in product using Nebulizer. Skin isues or healing issues with cuts. Eye cleansing. Spray on cuts for quicker healing. I have been on this product since June of this year. 2022. Does it help me? YES! Absolutely! Can it help you? YES! Absolutely! I am sharing my experience about Glutathione, to help others and how it has helped me. I have had only positive results to and with my body.
