Happy Veterans Day to All My Fellow Veterans

 


Hello fellow veterans I'd like to take this time to say, "Thank you for your contributions to this country. Your bravery, sacrifice, and strength are not unnoticed, and we will be eternally grateful to you and your family for everything you have given to the country. I'd like to express my gratitude for all that you've done! Thank you for devoting your time, courage, and sacrifice to this country for all human beings."

Many Americans do not understand what it is like to walk in a soldier's boots once we've sworn into office to serve our country. Our decisions are no longer ours for the government owns us, literally. There are missions that we take and we cannot talk to others about due to the confidential nature of it all. Many things that a soldier endures that has long life effects when we rejoin civilian life. 

PTSD is "Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder" that can happen to more people than those that served in the military and is usually rooted from something that happened in childhood that was not dealt with and causes PTSD later in adulthood. Is is a mental health condition that's triggered by a terrifying event, either experiencing it or witnessing it. Symptoms may include flashbacks, nightmares, and severe anxiety, as well as uncontrollable thoughts about the event. 

We never know who may be affected with this condition and that's why it's so very important to be kind to others when they may not be as kind to you. Caring and loving others go a long way and I just want to keep us all encouraged to make at least one person smile today and everyday. Do something nice for a veteran that you know just because you can. 

We can collectively make the world a better place with intentional actions of love, care, and kindness towards one another.

Hello NC Notaries and General Public! Today we're tackling a particularly critical aspect of notary practices in North Carolina: The Right to Refuse Service. In the line of duty, notaries are faced with a myriad of documents, each with its own importance and implication. It's the notary's duty to notarize documents that are legal, truthful, and in the interest of public good. This role, however, also brings up the question: What if a document contains false information? Can a notary refuse to notarize such documents?

  Hello Notaries of North Carolina, were you aware, electronic notarization has been available in North Carolina since 2005 under the Electronic Notary Act. At sometime between 2020 - 2022 North Carolina changed the language from electronic notary to in-person electronic notary aka IPEN to help specify more of what we do in this State when performing this type of notarization because a RON aka remote online notary also handles electronic notarization in a very different way that NC notaries does not perform as of this date.

As a notary public for North Carolina we oftentimes wonder how can we have access to resources that will help us more in our field. The Secretary of State is a good start because it has a wealth of information on their site: www.ncsos.gov/notary will give you a lot of assistance. Periodically the layout may change so I encourage you to set 15 minutes or more to navigate through the site to familiarize yourself with what they have we can utilize. In my training I go over "loose certificates" that are all found on the SOS website. Many of you notaries have heard of the NNA aka National Notary Association. Well this association is great for a lot resources mainly for notaries that are interested in becoming "independent contractors" or "signing agents" to facilitate mortgage loan closings. Due to their time of being in business and the notaries they have assisted in all 50 states they are known as the preferred company by many signing services that will consi
