Linda Staples Named Virginia Auctioneer of the Year
Linda Staples, a director of the Richmond Association of Realtors, has been named Auctioneer of the Year by the Virginia Auctioneer’s Association at their recent annual convention in Roanoke. It was fitting that the first woman to be so honored was born the very year the Association was founded. In 1958, Virginia Auctioneers met at the exact same venue, the Hotel Roanoke, to charter their state association of auction professionals.
Linda changed a state law which benefits members of the public who choose to auction their homes, as well as protects the licensed auctioneers who sell them.
Linda has been a Broker/Auctioneer with Tranzon Fox, an affiliate of the national Tranzon Franchise, since 1998 and was made a Partner in 2005.
Linda focuses on selling a wide variety of property using the benefit of open competition to obtain the highest possible prices for Sellers, using live and worldwide on line bidding. From well-worn estate homes to high end resort property, Linda gives individualized attention to each Seller, helping them through the auction process from start to finish.

VCU Study: Cost to Patients a Barrier to Counseling for Obesity and SmokingR ICHMOND, Va. (Feb. 5, 2010) - Free counseling services for obesity and smoking cessation generate an overwhelmingly positive response, but a significant drop in participation occurs when there is a charge, according to a study conducted by Virginia Commonwealth University and the Urban Institute.Research has shown that intensive counseling can positively impact both health concerns, however, the cost for the services is not typically covered by health insurance.A study published in the March 2010 issue of the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, indicates that "policymakers and payers should support clinical-community partnerships and eliminate cost as a barrier to intensive smoking cessation and weight loss counseling."Modifying health behaviors is daunting enough for patients and clinicians - cost can be the tipping point in their decision to forego the effort," writes Alex H. Krist, M.D., assistant professor in the VCU Department of Family Medicine.The article is "Patient Costs As a Barrier to Intensive Health Behavior Counseling" by Krist, Steven H Woolf, M.D., Robert E. Johnson, Ph.D., Stephen F Rothemich, M.D., Tina D Cunningham, Resa M. Jones, Ph.D., Diane B. Wilson, Ed.D., and Kelly J Devers, Ph.D. Read the journal's news release here.

A Reliable Wife, by Robert GoolrickReviewed by Brenda Sewards, Simple Pleasures Books & Gifts
The intricate tapestry of emotions woven between these two characters creates a rich and compelling backdrop for a plot riddled with intricate twists and turns. Even though Ralph Truitt has advertised for a wife, he is a man who has long forsaken the tender mercies of life such as love, tenderness and passion. He has convinced himself that he is unworthy of such things, but desires them just the same. He hopes to achieve some small measure of his desire by marrying this stranger and using her to help him in his intended act of contrition for a past wrong.
We Are Woman: Living Free Is KeyWritten by Doreen Washington | | |
Living Free Is Keyby Doreen Washington
But we are not. We have allowed ourselves to be robbed of our peace and have robbed ourselves of joy. The things we think on, the situations that we fall into have triggered our emotional bondage. We were not created to be in this state but to be free. This isn’t our best. No one can take away our right to think and live free. Freedom is a state of mind and our emotions will follow. We have the choice to live free or not to. The right to live and be free is our choice. That relationship that keeps us from loving who we are isn’t freedom, those things that we choose to love that have now wrapped us up in stress, sending our emotions everywhere, isn’t freedom. This isn’t our best. Thinking free allows us to live free and makes us whole. It allows us to love ourselves – remembering our worth. It’s really up to you. Thinking free that is. You can make the decision to let go of the anxieties that are crippling you and you can decide to free yourself from those things and people who keep you stressed out - leaving you with low or no self worth. We were not made to carry this but to walk in the freedom of mind, spirit and emotions and the body will follow. Do you want to be free?

In A Reliable Wife, Robert Goolrick’s debut novel, we witness the uniting of two tortured and troubled souls. They come together as the result of a personal ad placed by the rich but emotionally desolate Ralph Truitt, who is seeking a wife. The advertisement is answered by the equally troubled Catherine Land, a woman who appears to be one thing, but is very much another.
We all have the right to be free from anxieties, free from stress, free from negative thoughts and free from emotional bondage.
