It’s All About The Recovery Shot
Tiger Woods has said that his recovery shot is probably the most important shot in his game. Meaning that not all of his shots go exactly where he wants them to and his next shot (the recovery shot) is critical to getting him back on track and moving forward.
Today was one of those days for me. We leave for a family vacation tomorrow. So of course today is meant to be that intensely focused day where I get everything done and then some. All of my normal business activities, tying up any loose ends that might need attention while I am gone, errands to prepare for the trip and of course all of those things that I have been procrastinating on that I have decided MUST get done before leaving in the morning. (The fact that they have been sitting in my in box for 6 months is irrelevant!) So needless to say, I had a full day planned for today and then … the boys get sent home with pink eye! URGH!?!?@!?!?! Nothing major, easily treatable, but it means they could not go to school today.
Enter, the recovery shot. I got up at 5 am this morning and started working. It is amazing how much I can get done between 5 am and 8 am in a totally quiet house!!! Virtually all of my client contact was done by then, except for a few follow up bits during the day and then the boys and I made a game out of the other things that we needed to do today in order to get ready for our trip. Needless to say, the things that have been waiting 6 months to get done may have to wait just a few days longer, but such is life.
It’s not perfect, and it’s not always pretty, but it’s all good. So the next time something throws you for a loop, take a few minutes to breathe and contemplate your recovery shot. Chances are it will work out just fine.

It’s Not Just Your Story – It’s Everyone Else’s Too
I’ve spent years working on my own limiting beliefs — but I discovered one at the Abraham Hicks workshop last weekend that I had completely missed. Esther, aka Abraham Hicks, has been a leader in mindset, energy, and attraction for decades. My mom actually took my sister and me to a workshop 30 years ago,…
Bet On Yourself VS The Market
Last week I shared how the end of August is a weird time – wanting to savor summer, while also shifting back into work mode. Turns out I’m not the only one this happens to! Thank you for all of the notes and feedback. I’ve found that when I’m not taking action, I spend WAY…
I Used To Dread The Last 2 Weeks Of August
Thirty years in real estate has taught me a lot of things. One of the best is this: I can finally see my own patterns. Like the one where I get twitchy every year mid-August. Part of me wants summer to stretch on forever. Part of me is itching for routine, order, and the satisfaction…
Beliefs = Actions = Results – It Matters Where You Start
August is an interesting month for me. I’m savoring the relaxed pace of summer, while also starting to think about Fall and shifting back into work mode. With a shift in focus I naturally start wondering what will happen. Will I be busy? Where will my clients come from? Will they be buyers or sellers?…
What Do You LOVE About Your Business?
I’m back!!! There’s been a lot going on lately, (more on that in a later post) and it’s been a few weeks since I’ve sent you a note. Needless to say, I’ve missed you! I’ve been moving through a lot of ‘life’ lately, and there’s been a common thread in my business that has surprised…
How Do You Want Summer To Feel?
Summer is often a season of expectations not meeting reality. I used to think my perfect summer meant iced tea on the patio while reading every day. For the record, that’s never happened. And for a while, I felt bad about it — like I was missing out, like I was doing summer wrong. Until…
You’re Not Behind, There Are Infinite Options
Your in box is about to fill up with emails about us being 1/2 through the year. You know – the ones that ask if you’re on track with your goals, and offer a solution to whip you into shape for the next 6 months. If you are having a great year – I celebrate…
Letting Go Of The Hustle Sounds Great, But You’ve Got a Business To Run
To be clear, I am 100% for less hustle, more flow, manifesting, receiving, regulating my nervous system, and letting things be easier. But somewhere between: “That sounds amazing” and “I’m a real estate agent – I need to generate clients and sell houses to earn an income” Things can get confusing. Because no matter how…
The Beauty of Not Doing It Alone
Thank you for being part of this community! I learned something beautiful and powerful last week. It was vulnerable to post about recalibrating, and being in the messy middle of grieving. Yet the conversations, emails, texts and notes have meant to much. To know that we are not alone is one of the greatest gifts…
Recalibrate In a Business That Runs 24/7
It happens to me every year about this time. The need to recalibrate. In a business that can run 24/7 – it’s easy to look up one day and realize, your batteries are drained and there’s no break in sight. Side note – It doesn’t have to be a 24/7 thing, but that’s a topic…
