I bought a house! 🎉
The last time I walked into this building it was to sign away ownership to a home that was no longer mine. As I stood at the counter that day, tears just started rolling down my face. I didn’t feel sad, but my body knew. It knew it was the last step in closing a chapter I never knew would close. It was the grieving of a life I had planned, that would never come to be. It was the acknowledgment that the future was truly unknown and in many ways, that was super scary. I think I also knew that if I chose to continue to build my business, have flexibility to be with my kiddos, travel, and more…I would likely never own a home again as a single mom.
Ten years later, here we are. I’m still a self employed single mom, my kids are thriving, business is growing, and we bought a home!
The tears have come back but this time, they are full of gratitude.
To my family, thank you for your endless support and belief in me.
To my friend and agent Jon Kressin, who has walked many chapters of the last 18 years with me. Thank you for advocating for me, educating me, and ‘managing my expectations’. You really would make a great wedding planner!
To my clients and my team, who not only make this work profitable (lol) but more importantly - meaningful. Thank you.
To my kiddos, oh man…these two…they are my reason for everything. Parker and Bailey, your support, patience, encouragement, and love literally fill my life with more goodness than I could have imagined.
And to a God who always provides, always loves, and always gives us more than we can imagine, thank you.
I am so grateful. ❤️
