Worth
I’m in real estate so the question of how much a property is “worth” is a daily conversation in my world. But there are so many other ways we use this word….like is something “worth” your time? If you are stewing over something someone said to you, you friend might ask you if it’s “worth”…

Choices & Commitments
Rain, rain, rain. More than 24 hours of continuous showers. Don’t get me wrong…it’s a good thing! The tiny buds on the trees are now tiny leaves and my grass needs a mowing. This morning I thought it seemed brighter and we were done with the wet stuff at O dark thirty as I headed…

And…it’s FEBRUARY!
#2: Soldiering On The last three years have been weird. On February 1, 2020 there was much ballyhooing as we moved into our new and long-awaited offices. Everything was sparkling and bright with the smell of new carpet and fresh paint in the air. You could feel the excitement like an electrical charge from one…

Hello World!
#1 A New Beginning From March 2020 until April 2021, I wrote a short blog of encouragement every day from Monday to Friday to the agents in my brokerage. COVID, quarantine, uncertainty and fear were in full bloom and hope was in short supply. Did you know that the word encouragement literally means to put courage into…
