My New Video

So.. Here it is my new promotional video of myself talking about my new business... We didn't have the million dollar budget so, please be kind with the comments.

So... I finally told my friends!

I have been completely been missing in action for a couple of weeks at a time and I have the friends who for some reason can always tell if there is something new going on.. Well.. I finally decided to spill the beans this weekend and tell them that I am working and opening up a business in the Middle East... The looks were all the same.. Some were shocked...some were surprised and some were none to shocked or surprised at all.. So, there it is if you can't find me.. call me on skype.. hmriskgroup because you can surely find me there and you can of course find out all about my travels here!

I love these pashmina scarves!!

So, I have searched high and low and I have finally found the best Kashmir scarves in the world. Ladies like me would die to have scarves like this and we think that because we have spent $300.00 that we have the real deal - well I am here to tell you that I have them and for half the price and you can rest assured that it is not that crap from China!! Give me a call if you want one!!

All the way to the Middle East...

Here are some pictures from my very first trip to Dubai. Not at all like what I expected.. Mainly because I was getting my information concerning the Middle East from sources like CNN... Go figure!

My First Trip to Erbil, Iraq

I am opening a new insurance brokerage in Erbil, Iraq which is actually Kurdistan. I had a wonderful time and the region is one of the most beautiful places I have ever been and the people are equally as wonderful. Although I ate like a pig I lost 10 pounds!! The food is so much better over there!! Everyone should visit Iraq at least once in your life.

The real deal - Persian Rugs

I always have something going on and this time isn't any different. My last trip to the Middle East I came across the man in the Middle of Erbil selling the most amazing Persian Rugs. They are handmade, and signed by the designer! I got them at a great price and I am passing the savings to you and most importantly it will bring much needed commerce to the region. Please pass along to your friends and please let me know if you are interested in purchasing!

Okay.. This time I am really going to do this

So, I have attempted to have a blog now.. Oh, three or four times and each time I failed miserably at it. Well, I have decided that time I am going to put in some following through!! So, here it is my first blog and so far so good. I am off to a new start. Format is simple - my life, your comments.. my life some more!!
