It’s a slippery slope imagining what you “deserve” – but there’s a point in life where you do realize what you need and that should be completely congruent with what you actually do expect to get out of the ones you call “friend.“ A few of those things may include loyalty, consideration, kindness…if you’re luckyContinue reading “Peripheral Vision”

Shit Pie is Better Than Plain Shit
Love tanks. Everyone has one and everyone’s has a gauge. You can’t see it, it’s not as cut and dry as looking in the dash of you car, but it’s there. And I bet when yours is on E, it feels a lot like undervalue or confusion. But when it’s full, it feels a lotContinue reading “Shit Pie is Better Than Plain Shit”
Bacon & Eggs
Think about your breakfast one morning when you have some time to ruminate what it actually took to get all that to your plate. The chicken’s involved, but the pig’s committed. One day you’ll have a decision to make in your life where you have to choose what you are. Probably more than one ifContinue reading “Bacon & Eggs”
Ant Beds Don’t Make Themselves
If you want something, sitting around wishing for it, lamenting or complaining about how it’s not working out will keep you in that spot forever.

You don’t see the ants laid out complaining or homeless because the humans and dogs canContinue reading “Ant Beds Don’t Make Themselves”
Effort is Loving
Have you ever received something that had so much thought put into it, that the effort was more valuable than the thing?

It’sContinue reading “Effort is Loving”
Home is Different for Everyone

I’ve been in hundreds, maybe even thousands of homes throughout my career. The one thing I’ve noticed in every price point is the amountContinue reading “Home is Different for Everyone”
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”?”
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”
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…”
If You Died, Someone Would Cry…
