I know it's the holidays and everyone's thoughts are on various things, whether their careers, their families, their friends or whatever they hold near and dear to them  This Christmas I am thankful for a wonderful family, many really good friends and a job that I am excited about starting.

I have always been the type of person that I expect 150% of myself in whatever I do.  Having just joined a new agency I am truly excited to get off the ground running.  I have, in just a week, been exposed to many new tools and many new friends.

I am not completely out the door from my other agency and, to a certain extent, that makes me feel as if I'm in limbo.  I still have a listing there; I'm still working it to the best of my ability.

It's not about the bottom line, it never has been with me.  I need to feel motivated, I need to feel that I'm doing the best that I can for my clients/customers.

I honestly feel that when we stop learning we stop growing.  I never want to stop growing.  Every experience we have in life is a learning experience.

It's scary, but I hope the new year brings me many new experiences, many new lessons and the peace of mind to know that I'm doing the best I can for myself,  my family, my clients and my customers.

Merry Christmas, everyone
