I have to say that my favorite season of the year has always been autumn. While it does herald in shorter days and cooler weather, I find it the most beautiful of all seasons. I love pulling out my fall home decor and seeing all the beautiful reds, oranges, and yellows both inside and outside my home. (I also love it when my young granddaughter comes and rearranges by decor because I just don't have her eye for these things!) I love trips to the apple orchard, bonfires, hot chocolate with … [Read more...]

On Valentine's Day, Goldleaf Surety wants you to know we love being your surety partner! In today’s culture, Valentine’s Day is a commercial celebration of romance and romantic love. However, as we all know, love has many different meanings in addition to romantic love. When Goldleaf says we love being your surety partner, our definition of love as defined by Google’s dictionary is “a great interest and pleasure in something.” We have found that, unlike us, most agents do not love surety … [Read more...]
Goldleaf Surety and New Year’s Resolutions
It is hard to believe that the first month of 2020 is almost in the books. While most of us talk about New Year’s resolutions the first week in January, this post looks at New Year’s resolutions one month into the New Year. I gave up New Year’s resolutions many, many years ago because I usually did not even make it through January before my commitment to the resolution was gone. Come to find out, I am not alone! An article on the Forbes website from 2018 says studies have shown that less … [Read more...]
Don’t Let Bonds Scare You
Halloween brings to mind trick-or-treating, Jack-O’-Lanterns, goblins, ghosts, ghouls, witches, bats and black cats. It has always been a holiday filled with mystery, magic and superstition.

The festival was to mark the end of the summer harvest and the beginning of the dark, cold winter to come – a season strongly associated with death. The night of October 31st, the Celts believed that ghosts of the dead returned to … [Read more...]

Celebrate Smile Power Day
June 15th is the day we observe National Smile Power Day. This is a day for everyone to share the power of the smile. Growing up, one of my mom’s favorite sayings was that it takes more muscles to frown than it does to smile. And I know it was one I used on my own children now and again. But somehow over the years we tend to forget this. Babies smile about 400 times a day, while the average adult only smiles 20 times. And, we are the only creatures on the planet that can smile. … [Read more...]
