| 36 Times Around the Sun | As I celebrate my 36th birthday, I find myself reflecting on the lessons that have brought the most joy, peace, and love into my life. Some of those lessons are found within these five books that have shaped who I am today: 1. The Bible: This is my daily compass, guiding me through every season. It’s an act of faith and worship, a source of strength that never grows old. Each time I read it, I find new meaning that speaks to the present chapter of my life. 2. The Secret: “Ask and you shall receive.” This book changed how I view life, helping me understand the power of vision, manifestation, and gratitude. Positivity attracts positivity—it’s truly a choice and a mindset. The more you give, the more you receive. Simple, yet profound principles to live by. 3. A Purpose Driven Life: On my 4th read of this one! This book is a guide to recenter our “why.” It challenges us to live a purpose-driven life, unlocking ways to do so. 4. The Four Agreements: So simple, yet so powerful. Be impeccable with your word. Don’t take things personally. Don’t make assumptions. Always do your best. 5. Becoming Supernatural: A recent addition to my reading list, and one I’m finding hard to put down! Dr. Joe Dispenza shows how we all have the potential to tap into extraordinary abilities and transcend our limitations. It’s both eye-opening and inspiring. Every birthday is a moment to reflect—on how far we’ve come, where we’re headed, and what we’re grateful for in the present moment. It’s a time to celebrate what was, what is, and what’s yet to come. As I look forward to this next year, I pray for abundance in business, health for my family, and opportunities to give more, do more, and be more than I ever imagined. Cheers to being one year wiser!

Gratitude is a wonderful way to celebrate birthday. Here are six things I’m grateful for: 1. **God's Love and Grace**: Reflecting on the unconditional love and grace that God has shown throughout your life. 2. **Family and Friends**: Being surrounded by loved ones who support and care for you. 3. **Health and Well-being**: Gratitude for the gift of health and the ability to celebrate another year of life. 4. ⁠Client Relationships: Gratitude for the trust and relationships built with clients, which are crucial in your profession. 5. Professional Growth: Appreciating the knowledge gained and skills honed in the real estate 6. ⁠Experiences and Memories: Adventures and moments that shaped who you are. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME🎉🎊🥳🎂

Cohesion doesn’t happen overnight. When our Brand Team was created at the start of this year, we knew we were embarking on a journey that would challenge us to rethink processes, break down silos, and align product, institutional, and researcher marketing like never before. It’s been a year of growing pains and meaningful progress. We’ve created shared templates, invested in newer CDP and data integration platforms, bridged workflows with the DMO team, and worked more closely with sales to scale our efforts globally. Most importantly, we’ve fostered a culture of collaboration that will serve us—and our customers—well into the future. I’m excited to continue this momentum and see what we can accomplish in 2025! #holidaymiracle #teamworkmakesthedreamwork #cohesioninaction #collaborationgoals #marketinginnovation #marketingalignment

Happy 4th of July from our team to you! As we gather to celebrate Independence Day with family and friends, let's not forget our furry companions! Here are some tips to keep your pets safe and calm during the festivities: 🎇 Create a Safe Space: Make sure your pets have a quiet, comfortable place to retreat away from the noise. 🐶 Keep Them Indoors: Fireworks can be frightening for pets. Keep them indoors and secure windows and doors. 🐱 Update ID Tags: Ensure your pets' ID tags and microchip information are up to date, just in case they get scared and run off. 🐾 Avoid Fireworks: Never use fireworks around pets. They can cause severe burns and trauma. 🎆 Watch the BBQ: Be mindful of what your pets eat. Certain foods can be harmful to them. Wishing everyone a safe and joyful 4th of July!

Hopefully, this message finds you well. During life's busy grind, we sometimes forget the little but meaningful ways to take care of ourselves. Today I want to share a few words that have been on my mind. Slow down often. Take some time to breathe, pause, realize and cherish the moment. Life is a journey meant to be enjoyed one step at a time—not a race. Count your blessings every day, no matter how ordinary or how difficult, there is something to be thankful for. Whether it's the warmth of a kind word or the majesty of a sunrise, if we stop and notice, blessings abound. Be gentle with your heart. Treat it with such care and compassion as you would a friend. It's okay to rest, feel, and heal. Your heart needs that mercy too. Hope for new beginnings. No matter how yesterday was, each day is a new chance to grow, learn, and create something beautiful. Accept the possibility of new beginnings. Let these thoughts remind you in a very humble way that you are entitled to peace, joy, and hope. Take care of yourself, and just a remember that brighter days are always ahead. 😇

11 things I’ve learned in 54 years Celebrating my 54th birthday over the weekend, I took some time to reflect. We’re all evolving and growing, making mistakes and learning some lessons along the way. Here are a few insights I picked up during my 54 laps around the sun: 1. At times, the best way to move ahead is to let go. 2. Being grounded and present is the most luxurious and exotic place on earth. 3. Confidence comes from doing hard things and learning how to bounce back from setbacks, not from hollow praise or participation trophies. 4. A freeing way to walk through the world: give generously, don’t keep score. 5. Fast > perfect. 6. Self-reliant people who take agency and responsibility for their outcomes are far happier and more successful than those who blame others and play the victim. 7. Legends do the work. 8. A core responsibility is to regularly put ourselves out of business with an upgraded version. 9. Kindness is a force multiplier. Anger, fear, and greed are pollutants. 10. Laughter is miracle-grow for the soul. 11. The purpose of life is a life with a purpose. Mine is to elevate others, love unconditionally, and help unlock human creativity to improve humanity. Hope these insights spur some exploration for you. I’d love to hear what you’ve learned during your laps around the sun. Please share any wisdom bombs you have in the comments below...
