What Is Your Story? Hint: It Can Be ANYTHING You Want
Esther Hicks who writes the Art of Allowing books by Abraham had a great insight the other day as I was listening to one of her cd’s. She labeled the Law of Attraction as the Art of Telling a different story. That is so true!
We are all so caught up in our stories and how TRUE they are. Ever notice someone that has something going wrong in their life and the fact that they need to share it with everyone that will listen? They put so much emotion into telling the story because, well, it’s true isn’t it? I’m not here to tell you otherwise regarding your past, but what I do know is that just because it might be true today, doesn’t mean it has to be true tomorrow. So maybe take a break from telling that story and come up with a new one. What do you want your story to be? What would it look like, smell like, taste like?
What you focus on expands so could the mere act of telling your story differently to yourself and those around you be enough to cause the change? You might be thinking, but I’m broke, are you saying that I should start telling people that I am wealthy even though right now I’m not? Maybe not, but you could find something else to feel good about and tell that story instead. Maybe your kids did something really cute over the weekend. Don’t you think people would rather hear that story than you whine about something negative? And in the meantime, when you think about money, maybe you can focus on things like ‘isn’t it great that there are so many opportunities to make money available to me’,I like knowing that the business is coming and that I am ready for it.’
So have some fun with this. It may feel a bit funny at first, but practice telling your story the way that you want it to be, regardless of what it may be in the moment. The better you get at it, the faster things show up.

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…
It’s Okay For Things To Be Different
I often find myself comparing things. I compare my business this year to years past.I compare my health and fitness to where I was 10 years ago.I compare how I show up and experience different life events. On the one hand – it makes perfect sense. Our brains crave predictability. It calms our nervous system.…
