I’m Kathy Chiero. Usually I’m talking to river listeners about houses. Today given the enormity of the challenge facing our nation, I want to pray.
Father I thank you first that you are God. There is nothing we are facing as a people, a family, or a nation of which you are unaware. With that knowledge I ask that you give divine wisdom, clarity, and direction to our government leaders; I pray that you give strength, patience, and protection to the medical and emergency professionals attending our sick. I pray for physical healing of those afflicted and peace to their families. I pray that you give us the compassion to find the lonely and scared that we can be your arms to reach out to our neighbors. Finally, I pray that this trying time be a reminder of the precious gift that life is, the limitations of our human abilities and the utter dependence we have on you. In Jesus name I pray.
It may seem like an obvious choice. You no longer use several rooms in your home. Exterior maintenance of your home is a chore you are either unwilling or unable to do. You only live in Central Ohio half the year. It’s time to shop for a condominium. Maybe. Maybe not. Let’s first understand […]

It’s a decision that no grandparent wants to make and in past generations did not have to make: do we move to be near the grandkids? Our American past is one of almost communal generational living: adult kids didn’t move. A hometown was home and Grandma was the stopover on the way home from school. […]

There is a phenomenon that every Realtor has watched happen: a family with a perfectly respectable home decides they need to sell their house and buy another because the family has grown, and additional children means the need for an additional bedroom. After all, every child needs their own room, right? It’s the “American” […]

My husband and I were at dinner a few weeks ago and we ran into a past client of mine. As their Realtor I had helped Dan and his wife, Bridgette, sell their single-family home and buy a condominium. Prior to meeting with me they had not seriously considered condo living and were unaware of […]

I recently posed a question on my Facebook page: “Is it necessary for kids to have their own bedrooms?” It could be expected that there are a variety of answers. Adults speak out of their own experience and parents comment on what works for them. One answer intrigued me. Jennifer Wernert wrote “I’m 32 and […]
