Plano ranked happiest city in U.S. according to WalletHub.com!

We’ve been saying it all along and we hope you’ve noticed.  Okay, maybe we didn’t exactly saying it in words, but more with the tone of our blog posts.   Now, there’s a study that’s been done by WalletHub, the AI financial advisor that helps people efficiently attain top WalletFitness™ so they may enjoy life instead of worrying about money, that studied which cities have the happiest people in the US based on certain factors.  Plano is NO. 1!  We weren’t surprised.  We LOVE living in Plano, Texas and we have since, well forever!  There really hasn’t been a time when we’ve thought about grabbing our clothes, kids, pets and the pots and pans to uproot our family and move elsewhere.  We’re perfectly content where we are.

Sit down with us for a cup of coffee or a glass of wine and we’ll tell you a multitude of stories of the great times we’ve had here with each other, with family, with friends and with our many experiences as Realtors.  When we tell you we’ve had a very happy life here, we mean it.

When it comes to being happy, location plays a pivotal role in how happy you are.  We truly believe that.   It’s a fundamental right of our as Americans.  It’s even written in the Declaration of Independence, so our forefathers understood that as well.

The Study

There are many keys to happiness.  They include a positive mental state, a healthy body, strong social connections, job satisfaction, and financial well-being. These keys are being studied individually all the time, for example, access to money can increase one’s choices of what they do or buy which can increase happiness but by itself cannot bring about happiness.

WalletHub drew upon various findings of positive-psychology research in order to determine which among more than 180 of the largest U.S. cities is home to the happiest people in America.  We examined each city based on 31 indicators of happiness, ranging from depression rate to income-growth rate to average leisure time spent per day.

Main Findings

The U.S. Declaration of Independence speaks about the “pursuit of happiness” as a universal right. However, everyone gets joy from different things, whether it’s family, friends, activities, entertainment or work. What people might not realize is that where you live may also determine how happy you are.

Location plays a hand in how bright or gloomy our days are. For years, researchers have studied the science of happiness and found that its key ingredients include a positive mental state, healthy body, strong social connections, job satisfaction, and financial well-being. However, money can only make you so happy – people who make $75,000 a year won’t get any higher satisfaction from more money.

As this study aims to illustrate, moving to a certain city may help you be more content. WalletHub drew upon the various findings of positive-psychology research in order to determine which among more than 180 of the largest U.S. cities is home to the happiest people in America. We examined each city based on 31 key indicators of happiness, ranging from depression rate to income-growth rate to average leisure time spent per day.

WHAT MY FAVORITE WOMEN ALL HAVE IN COMMON

WHAT MY FAVORITE WOMEN HAVE IN COMMON

Women inspire me. Regularly. Often. I learn something from almost every interaction. Being around women deeply connected to their own power is like a master class in how to do the same.Tweet: Being around women deeply connected to their own power is like a master class in how to do the same. @maxiemccoy https://ctt.ec/nDzdy+ It’s a reflection of where you have left to grow (which will always be a thing), and the small places you can make another person feel seen.

So, let’s let the love of our women flow forward. Here’s what some of my favorites do, which makes me want to do the same. And for the record, it’s not about being someone’s favorite, but it’s about leaving an impression of love, of inspiration, of support, and of potent good vibes – all of which give us all the confidence to keep going.

  • They’re generous with their encouragement
  • They laugh with you. At you. Because of you. They’re just so damn easy to laugh.
  • They actually follow up. They do the connection intro right-then-and-there. You know those conversation where you’re like “OMG, I’ll send this link or intro to you about X,Y,Z”….and then they ACTUALLY send what they said they would. It’s the little things.
  • They show up. For the bigs. For the nothing.
  • They see you rubbing the crick in your neck, and they get up and massage the knot out for you. Queens.
  • They’re honest. They let you see yourself in them. Because they share that they actually photoshopped their bun, or admitted they said something nasty, or open up about their extreme doubt. Their honesty lets you in.
  • They’re not always reloading. They’re actually listening. They’re curious. They want to know more.
  • They’re full of ideas and connects on how to bring your dream to life.
  • They say, “That’s SO you.” Because they cared to understand you in the first place.
  • They text after they see you. Because seeing each other WAS real joy. Why not let ’em know.
  • They let you spout your bullsh*t. And they know that you know 90% of it is your bullsh*t.
  • They tell you NO. Which is a reminder to have boundaries, too.
  • They make plans. They put things on your calendar. Cuz, committed.
  • They’re more excited about your wins than you are. Cheer-EFFING-leaders.
  • When you self-deprecate. They call you out. Because ya, you are beautiful even if you forgot mascara and have no bra on.
  • They Facetime… even if they hate to Facetime… because you love to Facetime.
  • They bring you flowers. Just because.
  • They ask about your family. And remember the important days.
  • They quote you to yourself. Because they’re funny like that.

Flow it forward…Woman on xx

A Look Inside the $1.3 Billion Investment in Mixed Use Project in the Works at Legacy West

The new $1.3 Billion mixed-use phase of development is beginning at Legacy West, Plano.  It’s not a surprise that this already successful but newly opened mile-long project is expanding so soon.  It’s big but things tend to go bigger in Texas.  It’s how we are.  It’s what we do, and we do it better than pretty much anyone else.  To prove it, you only need to look back at the (loosely told) history of how the population grew in our wonderful city of Plano as an example of what we mean.

Founded in 1873 and named after the Spanish word for ‘Plain’ (which apparently described its terrain), the population nearly tripled at the beginning of the 1900s going from over 1300 people to about 3600.  Fast-forward to 1970 and we were at a little over 17,000 residents.  When it was time to welcome in the new millennium 220,000 Plano residents looked for someone to kiss or prayed all the computers in the world didn’t break down.

Last year we were at over 280,000 people.

We sure know how to grow a city, don’t we?!

It’s no wonder then, that when Plano decides to approve the plans for a development project the likes of which it’s never seen before, you better believe it was going to be big.  Five years ago that’s exactly what happened when the development project of the  250-acre Legacy West, Plano was announced, at a price-tag of $3 Billion.  $6 Billion later, we have the incredible city within a city that draws tens of thousands of people every week and the largest, most successful mixed-use development in North Texas.

It’s also the place we McCoys call ‘home’.

The Story Behind the Project

One of the reasons we Texans are so good at being big is that we do it with intelligence and good strategy.

Take for instance this new $1.3 Billion development happening at Legacy West now. Here’s where good strategy and planning ahead is being applied in a way that makes good business sense for everyone involved.   While looking at what to build on the vacant block at the north end of the Legacy West Urban Village, at Headquarters Drive and Windrose Avenue, the idea was to build out more retail space and maybe a boutique hotel.  The new plans, however, call for a combination office, retail, and apartment building instead.

“We decided to increase the office component instead of a hotel,” developer Fehmi Karahan said. “Building the office makes more sense.”

See what we mean…strategy!

The Details

Designed by Gensler Architects, the project will include almost 87,000 square feet of office space and more than 24,000 square feet of ground-floor retail. There will also be a large parking garage.

On the west side of the building, facing Communications Parkway will be five stories of apartments — 161 units.

“They will be a higher-scale, upgraded apartments,” Karahan said.

Karahan Cos. is building the project in partnership with Columbus Realty, which has built the rest of the apartments in Legacy West Urban Village.

The developer has already leased out more than 200,000 square feet of office space in the project, with major tenants including Boeing, Toyota Connected and WeWork.

The next phase also includes a large parking garage, the report said.

Plano’s parks and recreation department also went before the city council with a proposal for an updated master plan that included a recommendation for a deck park over the Dallas North Tollway.

The park would bridge Legacy West and Legacy Town Center and “would create usable park space and create safer pedestrian connections in a highly developed area, similar to the Klyde Warren deck park in downtown Dallas,” according to the master plan.

What It All Means

Personally, we can’t wait for this new development phase to happen.  More businesses mean greater stability for the area.  This development is definitely worth completing!

We’re drawing in major companies with the likes of Boeing, Fed-Ex, and Toyota plus the addition of Japanese based firm coming to Legacy West.  This allows us to stay ahead of the rest of the country economically and helps raise up our already incredible school system from its tax base.

We think great things are in store for Plano and we are enjoying every moment of living in such a wonderful city with such a colorful history and an incredibly bright future.

Three Little-Known Secrets About Legacy West

3 Little Known Secrets of Legacy West Plano Texas 2019

There seems to be no shortage of information about Legacy West.  Everywhere you turn the name pops up in conversations, on blogs, and in the news.   Whether it’s a new store opening or a major company announcing Legacy West will be it’s new headquarter,s it’s hard to live in Plano and not hear the name wherever you go.

There are some things you may know, however, especially when it comes to the many incredible restaurants that call it home.

Not to worry though, we’re always exploring and enjoying the food when we’re out and about at the development we now call home (which is almost every night).  We’re just thankful, however, that there is plenty to see and we can enjoy a nice long walk around the development after we’ve enjoyed whichever delicious dish we ate on any given night.  Gotta watch those waistlines!

Here are three restaurant secrets we’ve discovered around Legacy West.

1.  Books and Beer and Wine, Oh My!

Believe it or not, the Barnes & Noble’s at Legacy West has a restaurant that serves wine and beer.

Have we died and gone to heave?  It feels like it!

This new Barnes & Noble’s ain’t your average books store.  It’s actually one a concept store for the chain and will be the first in the southwest with a restaurant that offers an expanded menu that includes wine and beer.

The store is over 9000 square feet and is designed with relaxation in mind.  You know that feeling where there’s nothing you’d rather do than curl up with a good book and a glass of wine?  This Barnes & Noble’s understands it and expounds on it.

Here’s the menu so you can pick what you want before you.  We want you to use your time there reading and relaxing.

2.  Men Are Pampered Here

Sorry ladies, this one is for the guys.

It’s okay though, we’ve been the cornerstone clients of the ‘relax and pamper yourself’ industry for a while and for good reason too!  That reason being we work hard at everything we do and hold a good portion of this great big world together!!

That being said, men have ‘been left out of the ‘salon’ scene.  They go to barbershops or fast service salons where there in and out.  This gives them time to go where they can relax after their hard work is done i.e.  a sports bar,  fun range, or a golf course or even a run through the park with their faithful dog.

Seriously, where on that list does it say anything about pampering?

Nowhere and that’s why Venetian Nail Spa has set out to change all that.

They’ve vowed to save men from gnarly nails, overgrown cuticles and those jagged-edges on tops of their nails and they’re going it with some special packages ‘just for him’.

The basic manicure includes trimming, shaping, cuticle grooming, buffing and a nice lotion massage and is under twenty bucks.

Plus it takes less than 20 minutes from start to finish giving you men plenty of time to get to your favorite sports bar, golf course, Cowboy’s game or ax throwing competition completely rounding out your day of relaxing.

3.  Have Your Millennial Toast & Eat It Too

This one is a secret hidden in a secret.

We let the second one out the bag in the title, but you can’t get to the second one without knowing the first one so let’s start there.

Next time you’re at Legacy West and after you’ve had a nice meal at Barne’s & Nobles and your nails have been buffed to their finest at Venetian, stroll on over to Neighborhood Goods and see what they have in store.

While you’re there, check out Prim & Proper, the restaurant located within the store.  Within the restaurant, within the store, you’ll be able to order your Millennial Toast.

The store is a collaborative restaurant concept developed by Neighborhood Goods and Front Burner Restaurants.

Don’t worry though, if Millennial Toast isn’t your thing, they have a wide range of other items like burgers (really, really delicious burgers)  to enjoy, like cocktails.

Oh yes!  cocktails with great names like the ” Window Shopper” and “Up Your Alley” this hidden secret sounds like a place to enjoy something new and fun while shopping at one of the most incredible developments of ‘this’ millennial.

5 REASONS YOU’RE NOT GETTING WHAT YOU WANT (BUMMER, I KNOW)

I really hate not getting what I want. And I’m the queen of letting desire get in the way of intuitive knowing.

The amount of times I’ve known something was bad for me, but my brain decided I wanted it (for any number of reasons)…is countless. I’ve chased after big dreams that weren’t aligned but were desired. I’ve been laser-focused on making strides that weren’t rooted in what really mattered. I’ve chased after people that sucked (and some that were great but sucked for me). I’ve gone after huge opportunities that I knew would look and sound good, but were completely off when it came down to why I’m here.

Untangling the tentacles of desire is a complicated and difficult thing. The process will require you to learn the hard way. It will cause some blow ups in your life. It will break your heart. It will shake your confidence. It will make you wonder if you can even be trusted with what it is that you want. It will push you to the edge, and when you get there, you’ll realize why you didn’t get what you wanted. No matter how badly you wanted it. No matter how hard you worked for it. No matter how much energy you gave it.

You’re not getting what you want, because you’re getting something better.

You’re not getting what you want, because you ignored the whispers.

You’re not getting what you want, because the right thing is coming.

You’re not getting what you want, because it was the only path to learn the lessons you needed to learn.

You’re not getting what you want, because you’re getting what you need – To evolve. To know your power. To learn yourself. To understand your potential. Tweet: You're not getting what you want, because you're getting what you need – To evolve. To learn your power. To learn yourself. To learn your potential. @maxiemccoy https://ctt.ec/3a5Li+

What you’ll find when you don’t get what you want is that when you stop your initial fighting, sulking, and wallowing in your own bullshit puddle of why not me, you have an opportunity to shed the stories you layered onto the situation you were gunning for – why it was right, why it was meant to be, why it was for you, why it would all work out perfectly, why your future depended on it – to see all the red flags that you sprayed neon pink. You’ll get to see the information that was there all along. You’ll get to remember the whispers you heard and ignored.

And when you see all of that, you remember that you CAN trust yourself. Because that soft and intuitive and wise you is always there. She’s always accessible. And you get to choose whether you listen to her or not.

Sometimes we let desire get in the way of that wisdom, which is OK. And eventually we’ll learn to let that centered and knowing voice lead, instead of shoving it back behind the megaphone of desire.
