It’s the longest night of the year, yet Solstice is all about the return of the light. I love the Winter Solstice, especially, because I love everything about dimming lights, lighting candles to symbolize the light that is on the way, I love getting cozy and contemplating what has come before and what is yet … Continued
I have shared this with several of you lately: My most used phrase from my real estate days… “I don’t know, let me find out.” Someone wise, I wish I could remember who, stressed to me as a very young Realtor (20 years old) to feel confident to say I don’t know. And I took … Continued
