The Universe Has Your Back
You have heard it before:
Everything happens for a reason
You have heard it and you probably believe it on some level but is it:
~ I couldn’t agree more and I live my whole life that way
~ That’s BS, shit happens and there’s no rhyme or reason for it
~ I mostly agree with it, but sometimes the Universe has some seriously flawed logic!
Granted it’s mostly in hindsight that the logic makes sense, but just go with it. Case in point. I just booked some airline tickets for me, Gary and the boys to go on vacation this summer. I tried to do it yesterday, but after 2 hours on the phone and the tickets still were not booked and I ran out of time before heading out to pick up the boys. I know, in today’s Internet age you are thinking, ‘hello, that is a 15 minute task, what the heck took 2+ hours!’ I was trying to track down a companion fare and figure out some other things and every person I talked to passed me on to another person to get the answer and each time I got passed on to someone else it involved 10+ minutes of hold time. So this morning I started my quest for tickets again and you would not believe what happened ~
15 minutes start to finish on the phone and what I thought was going to cost $1500 cost $680! Thank you Universe for having my back!!!!! How did I pull that one off? With the extra time to think about it last night I was able to figure out a way to use some air miles and then the tickets went on sale over night which brought the price WAY down.
Now, did the Universe magically create infinite hold times for me yesterday so that I would run out of time and they could save me a bunch of money today? Who knows. All I know is that it worked out and if it worked on airline tickets, chances are they can pull a few strings for me on other things too. So the next time you find yourself wondering WHY, just relax and know that the Universe has your back.

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.…
I Used To Be So Afraid Of This…
I used to dread client conversations. Especially pricing conversations with sellers in a softer market, like we are in right now. I was afraid of letting them down. It came up this week with a new listing. They bought at the height of the market in 2022. Today’s prices are lower than that. How do…
What If Your Income Didn’t Depend On The Market?
There are multiple markets occurring right now – in the same cities, on the same streets. Sellers are experiencing it one way. Buyers are experiencing it another. And agents? All over the board. Same market. Completely different results. So what’s the difference? What you believe. What you look for. And how you show up. Two…
Permission To Fall Apart: The Truth About Resetting Your Energy
What if your next breakthrough is on the other side of your next melt down? There’s a side to energy and mindset work that no one talks about. Most teachings only talk about being positive.

I Stopped Waiting For The World To Change… That’s When Everything Did
I cringe when I look back at the things I used to believe about my business. Things like: For a long time, I believed these things were true, and out of my control to change. Until I learned how powerful energy and mindset are when applied to business. Here’s what my business looks like now…
I’m The Agent Who…
How you finish that sentence predicts your year. What you say creates your story, which becomes your belief. It determines your results and your experience of the world. The things you focus on, how you chose to view them – it’s all part of the recipe that creates your life. Some of you are reading…
You are so right Nicole! I listed a house for some stupid clients that three weeks later decided to rent instead of sell. That was irritating, but not life altering. They were still going to buy something with me. Three offers later, they decided they wanted to go with a RedFin agent to save some money. I was so angry at the time. However, as soon as I got these monkeys off my back, I had three new buyers at higher price points and six new listings coming on. Yay! Universe 8 points Stupid clients -2
Vicki,
I LOVE that story! Way to go with all of the new business and moving on from goofy cllients:)
