It’s the day after Christmas and I am heading back to work today. Hugo just left for a one-day trip and I have just finished my coffee and my morning readings. I’ve talked to God a little about yesterday and prayed for those I love. Typical morning, in a way. I have been thinking this...Read More

I get asked this so many times, I thought that I would write about it. How did I get into the mortgage business and how does someone get into it now? My answer, oddly enough, is much like everyone else that I know in mortgage…”By mistake.” When I was growing up, not once have I...Read More

Good morning! It is 5am and I am sitting on my chair in front of the fire and Christmas tree at home. It is silent here and I can just hear the usual house sounds…other than that, it’s just me and the doggies up (although they are asleep next to me once again) and snuggled...Read More

Well hello there! As I sit here with my coffee and my doggies next to me, Christmas tree blinking next to the fire, I cannot help but smile and thank God for my life I have. A few days ago, Hugo told me a story about an encounter that he had with an old friend...Read More

I used to have Fox News on my television 24/7 for many many years. I also used to be pissed off all of the time. Other stations would make me even more angry. So much bloviating about crap that just really didn’t matter. Yes, I just used a Bill O’Reilly word. It is true though....Read More

Saying, “NO” is empowering and it is a skill that I have really honed in on this year with some great results. “No” sets boundaries. It allows me to finally enjoy so many more things because I am not running around doing 54,000 things I DON’T want to do…all because I said, “no.” So many...Read More

Yesterday, I quietly celebrated a victory that we had, which was closing more loans in one year than anyone has ever done in this 7th largest city in the USA. I know the year isn’t over yet…but as of last month, we still beat the old record. We did it mostly with just myself and...Read More

Every day, for the most part, I have to be on my “A-Game” when it comes to how I look. Power suit. Put together. I get to go to galas and events where I am dressed in beautiful clothes and my make-up and hair are done just right.You would think that these times would be...Read More

There is a story in the Bible about Saul of Damascus (Who later became Paul) in Acts. The gist of the story is this: Saul persecuted anyone who followed Jesus…Jesus appeared to him in the street and confronted him…Saul became blind for 3 days…When he could see again, the first thing he did was to...Read More

I can hear my Grandma saying it to me now, “Your health is your wealth”…and dang it, she is right. Gram is about to be 90 in 2 months and she is still a firecracker even though she is slowing down a bit. If you don’t have your health, then you have NOTHING…no matter how...Read More
