The Part of Manifesting Most of Us Miss
As most of you know from Facebook, I’ve been on crutches for the last 6 weeks after foot surgery. It was planned, and all went well, but it’s a long time to be laid up. Especially since it was my right foot, which meant no driving.
And yet, January was the busiest one I’ve had in my 20 year career. There are many things that attributed to that, and I’ll be sharing them in the next few blog posts.
One hint: small actions, done consistently have exponential results.
Today’s momentum post is on the power of receiving. In addition to getting some work done, and watching ridiculous amounts of TV, I read a couple of books.
On of my favorites was The Course in Manifesting. I’m sure you’ve heard of the law of attraction. There are hundreds of books on the topic. This book is along those lines, but it goes one step further and focuses on the art of receiving.
In the book they talk about most of us being so focused on the asking that we forget to make space to actually receive what we want.
I have to admit, this is not one of my strong suits. I am great at asking, but average at receiving. I ask for a new client, and then spend the rest of the day worried that my phone isn’t ringing. If someone pays me a compliment I brush it off. If someone writes me a note card, it might take me a day or two to read it. Weird I know. It has nothing to do with how I feel about the person to sent it, and everything to do with how I feel about myself.
So I decided to start a receiving journal. Kind of a twist on a gratitude journal. Things that I appreciate, but also giving myself credit for letting them in.
This ended up being a perfect time to run my experiment since I had to receive a lot of help while in crutches. Nothing like having the Universe get in there and put you in a position where you have to figure things out.
True to form, what you focus on expands. The more things I gave myself credit for receiving, the more things came my way.
This morning I realized that I was behind on my FORD calls for the week and I set a goal to call 3 people. I was struggling on who I should call. Then I sat down to check the MLS for new listings and properties popped up for 3 different buyers who had put their search on hold. Tadahhh. 3 phone calls done before 10 am. How is that for receiving a little miracle?
And as a bonus, a new referral called about listing their condo. Talk about momentum!
Doing this also keeps me focused on the positive. Last year I spent a lot of time feeling cranky. Agents are under cutting each other and not to be trusted. Clients are not loyal, etc. not the best mindset, and sure enough it affected what I received.
The reality though, is that we all receive miracles every day, we just need to shift our focus them to notice them, appreciate them and make room for more.

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…

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…
