In real estate, a quitclaim deed is something you sign when you’re willing to pass your ownership of a property on to someone else. You “quit your claim” to it. It’s used for a few reasons, but I see it mostly when a couple is getting divorced and one is keeping the house. What IContinue reading “Don’t Quitclaim the Deed if You’re still on the Mortgage”

Adult Influence is a Child’s Habitat
Have you ever heard to the purity of God’s Word through the innocence of a child’s mouth? Even when we don’t have a child or teenager living at home, we should remember that when a child speaks the word of God, it’s without being filtered through the trash from the world that we’ve been aroundContinue reading “Adult Influence is a Child’s Habitat”
Bad Decision(s) Can Stay Singular
From time to time, I let my emotions dictate my thoughts and my thoughts dictate my decisions. We all do. What’s for the birds is stepping out of your emotions and wishing you’d made a “better” decision. One emotional decision does not necessarily have to beget a string of bad decisions. When you’re feeling trappedContinue reading “Bad Decision(s) Can Stay Singular”
What’s it mean when men “Mutely Witness”?
I mostly write about women and relationships. Simply put because I’m a woman, my thoughts are largely focused on how females can love better, mother better, and how it feels to be hurt, and how I want to love when people hurt. Today I’m reminded again about leadership and how it connects men and womenContinue reading “What’s it mean when men “Mutely Witness”?”
Attentiveness: Hearing What’s Not Said
Do you think of people when they aren’t around and understand what they don’t say? When you’re connected to people, you should. What I mean by this is sometimes people say things without saying them because they’re afraid to admit they’re struggling and sometimes people pull back when they need you to lean in. SometimesContinue reading “Attentiveness: Hearing What’s Not Said”
No One Deserves Your Worst, Not Even You
That Marilyn Monroe quote “I’m selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can’t handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don’t deserve me at my best.” is garbage. The first part is true for everyone, butContinue reading “No One Deserves Your Worst, Not Even You”
What do you give up to be loved?
Being a codependent is real. It’s crippling and something to not get confused with being a good parent, lover, or friend. If you give up little pieces of yourself and redirect a well thought out plan for your life for companionship, you’ve chosen the wrong company. We are meant to love, but we are notContinue reading “What do you give up to be loved?”
Retrain What Your Brain Looks For
So I’ve started doing a new thing with a few of my friends. Each day we actively try to take a picture of the best part of our day to share with each other at the day’s end. I got the idea online and I loved it so much I had to try it. ANDContinue reading “Retrain What Your Brain Looks For”
Internal Auditing
At the end of every year, I do an internal audit of every single real estate file in my company before we close out. Sometimes I catch stuff, sometimes I don’t. This year I did and after a long week of combing through every file, I know my bootie won’t clinch if the real estateContinue reading “Internal Auditing”
Maybe if You Ask 67 Times
Maybe if you ask 67 times you’ll turn that no into a yes. Maybe reword it or ask for the same thing from a different angle. Maybe keep pushing and ask at a different time of day. Or maybe listen to the answer the first time, change the situation by doing your part to changeContinue reading “Maybe if You Ask 67 Times”
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?”
If Conflict was a Toothache…
If we get a toothache, we know to go to the dentist to treat it. We all know a toothache is something you can’t ignore because we all know it’ll just get worse and worse if you do. So why do we sometimes ignore conflict when we don’t want to deal with it? It doesn’tContinue reading “If Conflict was a Toothache…”
