Highest & Best Use

A legacy to me isn’t money. It’s when the three areas of community, talents, and values intersect to create an environment where we’re maximizing our best potential. In real estate, it’s called highest and best use. “the reasonably probable and legal use of vacant land or improved property, which is physically possible, appropriately supported, financiallyContinue reading “Highest & Best Use”

My Favorite Plot Twist

My favorite plot twist. 18 years old, married to a guy I wasn’t in love with, carrying the boy I’d love forever, dreaming of the daughter I’d make his sister, and getting ready to take my real estate exam because lawschool no longer made sense. And it all worked out juuuuuuust fine. Proof that God’sContinue reading “My Favorite Plot Twist”

What would you whisper in your own ear?

I’d tell this little girl she is beautiful, smart, sweet, sassy, and that God loves her bigger than the whole sky.

I’d tell her that her parents are her twoContinue reading “What would you whisper in your own ear?”

I was driving to the 6a service of 21 days of prayer with tears so deep I couldn’t see the road and a voice so unsteady I couldn’tContinue reading “The Lighthouse Keeper Stays Awake”

Little Bird Brain

Something my grandmother always said was that our “little bird brains” aren’t supposed to understand everything. Why do bad things happen? Why do the ones we love get sick? Why is there violence and destruction? Why do things fall apart? Maybe we’re not meant to understand. Maybe there’s a greater lesson and a bigger purpose.Continue reading “Little Bird Brain”

So, What? You Fell Down?

How many times does a baby fall before he finally walks? Dozens at minimum? Probably hundreds? You’ll never hear his parent say, “It’s okay little Johnny, walking’s probably not for you,” & carry him around until he’s fifteen. If your growth opportunity feels resistant, it’s because you’re GROWING & there’s always opposition when there’s improvement.Continue reading “So, What? You Fell Down?”
