What Ever You Believe – You’re Right
This was a busy week. Gary was out of town, Ryan had his first college showcase baseball tournament – which meant 3 full days at the ballfield, I had 2 closings, negotiated another offer, did an updated photoshoot for my website which of course involved some last minute shopping for ‘just the right look’ and about half a dozen other big things – including finding this gorgeous piece of art for our dining room!
On Tuesday, I started to spin. There’s no way to get it all done. I’m too stressed, too tired, I have to do everything myself, etc. In that space I couldn’t see any solution that would work that didn’t involve me being cranky and resentful.
But somewhere in the spinning I could hear my intuition say – that might be your current belief, but what if it was different?
In the past, my belief system would have come right back with – well I would LOVE for it to be different, but it isn’t. So just deal with it.
But after years of energy work, and maybe just a little therapy, I’m able to find the space between the thoughts and lean into it.
What if there was another option? A scenario where it all got done, and I was rested, happy and enjoyed it all? What if that was my dominate belief?
And with that thought – new and wonderful solutions opened up. Alex was able to pick up and drop off keys for me. My photographer solved my what to wear delima, and my clients where happy to accommodate my availability during our negotiation and Ryan James at Ryan James Fine Arts offered to bring the painting by and install it.
As each thing fell into place, my shoulders relaxed a little more, I felt more supported, and I marveled at how easily everything got done.
Beliefs are just thoughts we think over and over again, and in the repetition, they become true – for us. But, there are always other options out there.
Take a few minutes to envision your perfect scenario. What would you need to believe for it to be true?
Be easy with yourself and your beliefs. Notice if they aren’t helping and be open to finding new
ones. Because as we all know – what you focus on expands.
To your success!

Markets Like This Call For Shorter Timeframes
For 30 years I’ve planned a year at a time. But right now I’m doing things differently. I’m breaking my plan into 60-90 day chunks. Short term planning used to stress me out. It felt like there wasn’t any margin for error if I got off track. However, right now, it feels supportive. While I…
Why I Stopped Doing Open Houses The First Weekend
Open houses the first weekend – we all do them. We tell our clients it will increase exposure. But what if those open houses are making it more difficult to sell your listing? Consider this… Buyers have come to rely on open houses to view properties. It’s convenient for them, but it means fewer showings.…
What If The Market Is Better Than You Think?
Try this on for size: What if the market isn’t good or bad? What if it’s about shifting your perspective? There are amazing opportunities for both buyers and sellers right now. For buyers: Prices are down (yay!) and interest rates are up (boo!). Buyers need to consider both. In many areas prices are down 10-20%.…

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?…
