Gratitude in Uncertainty

2022 was a year of big changes for me.  I decided early in the year that my real estate career was providing me joy, fulfillment and opportunity that my “day job” was not. I decided to resign from corporate America after almost 20 years of working in healthcare administration.  SCARY!  I had been selling real estate part time since 2019 and this move put me in self employment status as a Real Estate Broker full time.

This year has been fun, exciting, exhausting, uncomfortable, encouraging, stretching, and so many more feelings that I hadn’t felt in many years of doing the same job, and I’m here to say, I’m so thankful.

I’m thankful for the learning, as the market constantly changes and with each new transaction, I learn more.  I’m thankful for the relationships, as I’ve reconnected with several people from my past who I enjoy so much.  I’m thankful for the flexibility, as I’ve been able to spend time volunteering with organizations I believe in (Habitat for Humanity and Clothes for Kids).  I’m thankful for the struggle, as I’ve learned to depend on myself and really learn who I am.  I’ve realized that to have failure and success at anything means you’re doing something and living a vibrant life, and that is just plain exciting.

One of the things I’ve enjoyed the most this year, is connection. I realized that just living in a little bubble is nowhere near the life as connecting with people in person.  I don’t only want to connect with clients, I want to connect with old co-workers, friends, sports moms, etc.   I love hearing about your lives and getting updated on the people I’ve come across in all my years.  I also love meeting new people, something I didn’t used to value in my busy world.  People are the best part of this new path I’ve chosen for sure, and seeing them in their new homes, is the cherry on top for me.

THANK YOU! To every single one of my clients, friends, and family members for your support and trust in me, I don’t take any of it for granted.  Whether you have a house to buy or sell or not, I’d love to connect for coffee, dinner, a walk, you name it.  Just reach out, let’s get together.
