If you’ve lived long enough as an adult, you’ve experienced some relationships that just seem to accumulate debt. The kind where the other person took more than they deserved or maybe didn’t give enough to keep their relational credit up. But what about the new relationships? The ones where you don’t have any debts orContinue reading “Old Bill…New Account”

Home is Different for Everyone
“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”
Don’t Quitclaim the Deed if You’re still on the Mortgage
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”
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.

The first part is true for everyone, butContinue reading “No One Deserves Your Worst, Not Even You”
People Vote “With Their Feet”
We can plan the perfect party at the perfect venue with the perfect activities and the perfect food, but if it’s not what the people you invite want to do, they don’t come. They “vote with their feet” by literally not using them to come do what you thought would be perfect. So what doContinue reading “People Vote “With Their Feet””
Do You Love Well?
Popular misunderstanding about love languages: The way you feel love is by default the way you love the best. Example: You feel loved the best by someone offering acts of service, so you are exceptionally good at serving others. Cooking dinner, washing the car, doing the laundry, etc. BUT…if the person you love’s love languageContinue reading “Do You Love Well?”
Don’t Make it Worse
All day I’d rather be the one getting hurt than the one doing the hurting because there’s something to be said for being the stone and not the stepper. Standing out doesn’t always mean being the loudest. Sometimes standing out just means standing up for what you know in your heart is good to doContinue reading “Don’t Make it Worse”
