A Fresh Perspective

I am a wife, a mother to 3 children, 2 mini pigs, 4 dogs, and 9 chickens.  I grew up in the suburbs and love to shop, drink wine, and eat at amazing restaurants. I always thought I would live in a big vibrant city. Yet, I have settled in a small town on a mini farm, where I never thought I would be, but now I never want to leave. 

​

I am an entrepreneur.  I own several real estate offices, run a real estate team, and have a 501c3 dedicated to bringing joy to children in foster care.   I had my first job at age 12 and have held a job, almost consistently, since that day. 

​

I have a tribe of great friends, a network of amazing colleagues, and a beautiful family, both immediate and extended. 

​

My life on paper sounds amazing.  But like everyone else’s, it is full of highs and lows, good times and bad, joy and sadness. I have learned, through experience, that my lowest times are followed by my greatest achievements.  My good times always outshine the bad. And my saddest moments often inspire my greatest contributions. 

​

We are surrounded by beauty, motivation, and inspiration, as well as the opposite.  We must choose which one we want to focus our energy on.  Though sometimes that choice is harder to make than others. 

I am a firm believer that whether you believe you will succeed, or fail, you will be right.  I made this blog to inspire, and remind people that positivity is a choice.  Whether you believe in yourself or not, you will be right.  Choose to believe.
