“A chaque oiseau, son nid est beau.” Translation “To every bird, its own nest is beautiful.” Little quotes you find in New Orleans years ago that earn meaning with gained perspective. 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”

Get Better Wine or Get Better Plans
There’s something cathartic about sipping a glass of wine. Spending that 30 minutes reflecting on your day or your week…your trials, challenges, and victories. There’s just something about taking the time to slow down and think. How are you doing? Where are you going? A lot of that forward path is created by where you’veContinue reading “Get Better Wine or Get Better Plans”
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”
Your Best Valentine is a Happy Heart
When we don’t have joy in our hearts, there’s a good chance we are highly affected by everything that happens around us. Or doesn’t happen, especially on Valentine’s Day. My wish for everyone this Valentine’s Day is that whether you get flowers or chocolates or dinner or a card or even a phone call, thatContinue reading “Your Best Valentine is a Happy Heart”
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”
