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
Now is the perfect time to consider what you want to complete in 2020. Having a clear slate at the end of the year feels good. You get to invent your definition of “clear”. What loose ends do you still have hanging? What goals are incomplete? How would you like to adjust them? Are they … Continued
We have just a few days left this year! Did this year seem fast or slow for you? Long or short? For me, it’s both. So much has happened this year it seems the year has to have been long in order for these things to have all happened: Started writing at the Wing in … Continued
“Make the past a blessing.” Zvi Ish-Shalom This was something I heard this morning and it really struck me. As I write this in the late afternoon, it is still with me. This year I have dug deep into the past- way past, and am now weeding through my more “current” past. A couple of times … Continued

One of my favorite shows to watch is The Amazing Race. The current season has been interesting to watch- more than usual- because it was filmed back in 2018! No masks! Crowds! It was jarring to me to see it and to realize that we have a new normal. It was the same way I … Continued
I am doing both this month! Refine- means to remove impurities or unwanted elements from something. It also means to improve something by making small changes. Some of the words associated with refine are purify, clarify, clear and cleanse. There isn’t a more perfect theme for October- especially in 2020! Especially for the start of … Continued
I am thinking a lot about the last quarter of this year. I am thinking about being blooming right through the end of this year, leading myself into a strong 2021, despite circumstances. Because circumstances are anyone’s guess. What I can control is what I am thinking about and how, what I am participating in, … Continued
My theme for the month of September is Bloom! something very counterintuitive, at a time of year where the blooms in nature are fading fast.
