Winter Wisdom: Buying and Selling Homes in New England During the Cold Months When most people think of real estate seasonality, they picture the spring market bright flowers, open houses, and eager buyers emerging from winter hibernation. But on this week's episode of Talk Real Estate Roundtable, Sharon McNamara and Melissa Wallace reminded listeners that winter in New England brings its own unique set of opportunities, challenges, and wisdom for both buyers and sellers. Busting the Myth: “No One Buys or Sells in Winter” One of the most common misconceptions in real estate is that nothing happens once the cold sets in. Sharon set the record straight homes sell every month of the year, and serious buyers don't stop searching because the temperature drops. In fact, winter often attracts the most motivated buyers those relocating for work, upsizing or downsizing before the new year, or simply ready to make a move despite the season. As Sharon noted on-air, “There's always a reason someone needs to sell and when motivation meets opportunity, the season doesn't matter.” Why Winter Real Estate Deserves Attention Melissa asked the question many wonder: why does winter real estate deserve its own spotlight? Sharon explained that the colder months bring unique considerations from curb appeal under snow to heating costs, icy driveways, and limited daylight for showings. But with proper preparation, sellers can stand out when inventory is lower and competition is thinner. Plus, fewer listings mean more attention for your home. “You might just have fewer buyers looking,” Sharon said, “but the ones who are looking are serious.” Seller Tips for the Cold Months Create Warmth the Moment Buyers Step In – Keep the heat steady, bake something simple, and add cozy touches like soft lighting or throws to help buyers feel at home. Stay on Top of Snow and Ice – Safety is part of presentation. Keep driveways, walkways, and stairs clear. Highlight Winter Efficiency – Energy-efficient heating systems, newer windows, and good insulation are major selling points this time of year. Leverage the Season – Decorate tastefully for the holidays; a festive but uncluttered space can create an emotional connection. Buyer Considerations in Winter Winter home shopping isn't without its perks. Sharon and Melissa noted that buyers can often see how well a home handles the cold. You'll experience the heating system, insulation, and draft control firsthand. And because the market tends to slow, you may face less competition when making an offer. Buyers should, however, stay mindful of weather-related limitations roofs, landscaping, or exterior conditions may be covered by snow, so factor in a thorough spring check if needed. A Glimpse Ahead: Predictions from the Farmer's Almanac The conversation took a lighthearted detour when the hosts discussed the surprising news that one edition of the Farmer's Almanac will stop publication after 2026 though not the Old Farmer's Almanac most New Englanders rely on. According to its forecast, Massachusetts can expect a mild and dry winter with fewer snow days than usual but Sharon and Tim at WATD agreed: “It's still New England, baby. You never really know.” A Roundtable Tradition of Connection The episode also featured live listener calls and even a check-in from a real estate friend in Miami. Listeners weighed in on whether they'd list now or wait until after the holidays and most agreed: why wait? As one caller said, “If you're serious, just go ahead and put it on now and see what happens.” That spirit of engagement mixed with laughter, storytelling, and genuine care is exactly what keeps Boston Connect Real Estate's Talk Real Estate Roundtable such a beloved part of the South Shore community. Final Thoughts Whether you're buying or selling this winter, the key is preparation and partnership.

Associate Pastor Kenny Dyches continues our brief Winter Wisdom series, preaching on the contrast between worldly wisdom and godly wisdom, using a compelling story about a man who built a successful business but struggled with spiritual emptiness. The man's journey, shaped by a vivid dream and an encounter with a preacher resembling Jesus, highlighted the challenge of surrendering earthly pursuits for true fulfillment in God. Drawing from Proverbs, Pastor Kenny emphasizes that wisdom is not just intellectual knowledge but a lived experience of God, requiring a heart posture of surrender and obedience.He outlines practical steps for obtaining wisdom: receiving, treasuring, inclining one's ear, calling out, and seeking diligently. He stresses that wisdom is cultivated not in isolation but through relationships, community, and submission to God. Using relatable examples and personal anecdotes, Pastor Kenny encouraged the congregation to pursue godly wisdom, trust in God's guidance, and live out their faith in all aspects of life.

Senior Pastor Damein Schitter begins a new mini-series, Winter Wisdom, preaching from Proverbs 3:5-8. He explores what it means to be truly wise, emphasizing that wisdom is not just about intelligence or self-sufficiency but about trusting in the Lord wholeheartedly. Pastor Damein argues that in a world obsessed with knowledge for self-reliance, biblical wisdom calls for deep dependence on God. He contrasts wisdom with folly, illustrating how self-sufficiency, as exemplified in biblical figures like Jacob, leads to struggles, while true wisdom involves trusting God with all aspects of life.Pastor Damein also emphasizes that wisdom is both a journey and a skill developed over time, much like becoming proficient in chess or cooking. It involves not just knowing the right things but living in relationship with God and aligning one's life with His guidance. The ultimate wise one, Jesus Christ, embodies wisdom, and trusting in Him leads to true flourishing. He closes with a call for believers to wholeheartedly trust in God's wisdom rather than leaning on their own understanding, urging mature Christians to be pacesetters in demonstrating God's faithfulness.

Writer and author Katherine May shares her love for winter, and explains why it is time for both joy and sadness. Later, Life Examined host and producer Jonathan Bastian and Andrea Brody reflect back on their most memorable moments from 2024. 

Writer and winter enthusiast Katherine May revels in the winter months. While the long, dark evenings invite us to huddle indoors and disconnect from the world, they also offer a chance for reflection, remembrance, and a reset in our lives. As May explains, this season is a time to pause and recalibrate for many.  “Winter is a season of dread as a time of year when grief surfaces. There are people who will be spending their first Christmas alone, or maybe their fifth Christmas alone – everything will be out of place.”  May, author of the book Wintering: The Power of Rest and Retreat in Difficult Times,  encourages embracing those feelings of loss and loneliness that seem to creep in with the cold. She argues that “this time of year, we're often so tired and grumpy” that “we have to treat ourselves like children sometimes, who are in need of a nap, in need of a snack, in need of a bit of quiet time.” The cure for this? May encourages going outdoors and looking to nature for inspiration and guidance, pointing out that even at the bleakest, darkest time of year, life goes on.  “Think about it in terms of hibernation, in terms of really drawing back. It becomes this beautiful process of rebirth to me and this paring back of what we need teaches us something really profound. Which is that life goes on,  even in the most compromised of circumstances.”  To wrap up 2024, Life Examined host Jonathan Bastian and producer Andrea Brody reflect on their year, both on and off the air. They share what defined the year for them personally, highlighting the guests and conversations that left a lasting impact—from the chaotic, unpredictable world of Burning Man to a deeply personal story of loss, and much more. Delve deeper into life, philosophy, and what makes us human by joining the Life Examined discussion group on Facebook.      

DateDecember 22, 2024SynopsisIn this sermon, we dive into what happens when vulnerability meets blessing through the lens of Mary's visit to Elizabeth. We explore how creating safe spaces for truth-telling—like Elizabeth's home and the muskrat's winter den—allows us to encounter transformative love that empowers us to sing new songs of hope. This fourth Sunday of Advent reminds us that authentic love makes room for our whole selves, not just our highlight reel.ReferencesScripture: Luke 1:39–55 About The Local ChurchFor more information about The Local Church, visit our website.

Do you enjoy winter?

Following the epic weather of the past few weeks, we go back in time to a period that best celebrated this type of weather. In this episode we explore why the enigmatic appeal of Anglo-Saxon poetry and its fascination (or even obsession) with winter casts such an enduring influence on our culture. It is the perfect type of literature for cold winter nights, but there are also other deeper traits that remain deeply rooted in our shared cultural memories that inform our attitudes to winter.    Journal entry:“8th December, WednesdayStorm Barra is barrelling around the boat    Harrying and jostling us,     So that the roaring world tips and sways.The darkness is flecked silver with rain      As Penny and I walk into a howling dawn. “ Episode InformationIn this episode I mention the following books:Michael Alexander's (2006) The Earliest English Poems Penguin Classics series, published by Penguin Books.Alexandra Harris' (2015) Weatherland: Writers and artists under English skies published by Thames and Hudson. I read excerpts from the following poems (Michael Alexander's translations):The Ruin (alternative translation)The SeafarerExeter riddle 73 (other texts count it as 74) For those wanting to explore the world of Anglo Saxon and Old English literature, you might find this website, created by Dr Aaron Hostetter from Rutgers University, very helpful: An Old English Poetry Project.A digital version of the Exeter Book produced c.970 (in which the above are featured) can be viewed here: Exeter BookI also mentioned Andy Grifee's narrowboat-based crime series featuring Johnson and Wilde which are published by Orphans Publishing. General DetailsIn the intro and the outro, Saint-Saen's The Swan is performed by Karr and Bernstein (1961) and available on CC at archive.org.

Living Truth Christian Fellowship Podcast

This morning as I sat down to record this today's podcast I heard a song outside my window . . . the song of the woodpecker. It was clear as a bell and despite my curtains being closed, I knew exactly whose song it was. This little guy chimed in a couple of times until I opened the curtain to say hello and make sure he knew his message was warmly received.  So, what was his message, you may be wondering. He was making sure I included a bit about rhythms and cycles in today's podcast episode.  Winter is a very important part of the creative cycle.  It's the time when we do the inner work to create alignment between ourselves and our ideas, dreams, and visions.  It's the time when we nurture seeds of inspiration and give those seeds space to grow in our hearts.  For many of us, this past year has awakened a whole new sense of values and ideas. It has created a sense of awareness around what we most value, where we are putting our time and energy, and what feels most aligned with who we are.  2020 has invited each of us to refocus. It has planted many seeds of inspiration. For those of us in the northern hemisphere, who are stepping into the winter season, we are stepping into a time when we have an opportunity to go within and nurture the seeds of these new ideas, dreams, and visions. In today's episode I sink deeper into this conversation.  Want to join us for the Winter Solstice Quarterly Gathering?

Continuing our Winter Wisdom storytelling series, Tim brings us another tale from the life of Elijah - a tale of misplaced devotion in false gods and the power of the one true God.

Welcome to our 2019 Winter Wisdom Series, which is a collection of the best of the best from our first 128 episodes of The Inner Chief podcast. Today's topic is Top Reads and we explore the 5 most recommended books by our Chiefs and Gurus. 1. Built to Last & Good to Great - by Jim Collins These books are not about visionary products or visionary leaders, they're about visionary companies and what it is that makes the truly exceptional companies different from the others. Built to Last Good to Great 2. Sapiens & Homo Deus - by Yuval Noah Harari While these aren't business books, they're a profound study into human history. Drawing insights from biology, anthropology, palaeontology and economics and exploring how history has shaped our societies and our personalities. Life-changing reads, I promise! Sapiens Homo Deus 3. The Five Dysfunctions of a Team - by Patrick Lencioni Like all of Patrick's books, this one is a compelling fable with a simple but powerful message. He reveals the 5 dysfunctions that go to the very heart of why teams (even the very best ones) often struggle. If you're leading a team or trying to build a culture that thrives, this is a must-read. The Five Dysfunctions of a Team 4. The Power of Now - by Eckhart Tolle This is a spiritual guidebook; a manual for understanding exactly how to ‘live in the now'. It also has the benefit of markers throughout the book that symbolise ‘break time' ie. when you should close the book, put it down and mull over what you've just read. Not in any way a business book, but a guidebook for living a purposeful life and being the best possible version of yourself. The Power of Now 5. Legacy - James Kerr While I'm forever frustrated when the Wallabies lose to the All Blacks, I'm also forever in awe of what the All Blacks stand for: their culture, passion, teamwork and performance is like no other sporting team in history. And like Neil Craig said, there's no need to reinvent the wheel. Success leaves clues and we should learn from these. So if you're trying to build a high performance team culture, something that lasts the test of time, then this is a great read for you. Legacy So Chiefs…what can we learn from these books? I think there are three key themes: People come first Uniting and aligning your people is the single most important factor in building a successful team and a successful business. It's not all fun and games Building a high performance team isn't easy. It takes focus, energy, commitment and accountability. But while high performance teams might be challenging, they're ultimately the most rewarding groups to be part of. Self-awareness Whether it's for the benefit of our team, our business or our own personal lives, self-awareness is critical. We must learn about 'us' first. We must debunk our own thinking, bias and beliefs. You can't live a life of purpose until you unpack yourself.   And that's it for the first of our Winter Wisdom Series. Stay epic, Greg
