Old Bill…New Account

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”

My Ambivert Life

am·bi·vert • noun • /ˈambəˌvərt/ The outgoing introvert. We can get tired from socializing too much. We can be super flexible and are used to things changing. We love people but we don’t need to be on the go. I don’t have a “taco Tuesday” or a favorite color. I don’t have a favorite anything,Continue reading “My Ambivert Life”

Self Proclaimed Victim Status

“I can’t make anyone happy” “I’m just ruining everything“ “I’ll just quit” No. What you need to do is stop being such a baby when someone calls you out on your bullshit and accept some responsibility. Self proclaiming yourself as the victim is lazy. And it’s annoying. Don’t like where you are, CHANGE IT. Don’tContinue reading “Self Proclaimed Victim Status”

What’s a Siphon?

I think we’ve all made a siphon. Pull water from a tank into the hose (or gas if you’re super red), put the other end lower, and just watch cohesive energy and gravity do their thing in the vacuum. It sucks it right out until it’s empty or is equal to the level of whereContinue reading “What’s a Siphon?”

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 she is going to be a leader, a big sister to 4 amazing humans, have 2 exceptional children, grandchildren, and even great-grandchildren. I’d tell her that her parents are her twoContinue reading “What would you whisper in your own ear?”

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”
