naperville real estate: Rediscovering my joy of writing... - 11/12/19 04:29 AM
Good morning!!
I woke this morning peaceful. Optimistic. Excited... 
For in front of me, at least for the next 30 minutes, I am able to do something that only recently I have discovered gives me joy…
To write. To share. To tell my little story…
Yesterday I had been challenged to come up with my dream life. To put that life down on paper and live it…
It was an exciting challenge. Write down what I wanted for myself, in all aspects of my life…
Relationship? Health? Spirituality? Career? I could do and be and have anything I wanted…
But honestly it was … (3 comments)

naperville real estate: A challenge from a friend... - 11/11/19 04:27 AM
Good morning!
Last night I was challenged by a friend…
She asked me to write my own story.  A vision statement. Everything I wanted my life to be in 6 months…
What would it look like?  What would I be doing? Who would I be with? Where would I be living? 
One of those, “What would you do if you were not afraid to fail?” sort of challenges…
My vision of me. My dreams…
She wanted me to write down those dreams, and make them a plan…
My plan. For my life. For my future. To begin turning my most far out wish … (4 comments)

naperville real estate: Dealing with heartbreak and getting back to dating... - 11/09/19 04:19 PM
 
I have spoken with lots of people over the last few months, many of which are recently out of relationships. Both women and men…
Funny, everyone wants love, yet good relationships seem to evade so many of us…
I have a hunch. Not sure I am right, but still a hunch…
We all say our exes were toxic. Crazy. That we were codependent and that the ex was narcissistic. Can we really all be crazy? Narcissistic? Anyway…
After the relationship ends, most hop right back out there in the dating pool. Join Match.com. Bumble. Tinder. Whatever the dating app of the day is. Looking … (6 comments)

naperville real estate: Thoughts for a friend... - 11/08/19 04:41 AM
Good morning!
I woke this morning with thoughts of a friend…
Just before bedtime last night, my boss had reached out to me. She wanted me to know that one of my good friends at work had been admitted to the hospital earlier in the day…
Chest pains. Certainly a scary thing for those of us north of 50. And it was scary for me to hear…
I am worried about my friend. She is sweet, kind, hard working, caring, and a wonderful listener…
She has been there for me through the years. She has been there on my lowest days with a … (9 comments)

naperville real estate: Sleeping peacefully through the night in Naperville... - 11/07/19 04:56 AM
Good morning!
I woke this morning warm and comfy in my bed. The room was dark. The world outside was dark…
Certainly not unusual at this time of year, as the days of late fall and early winter are dark days with little sunlight…
However, when I reached for my phone to check the time, the clock read 6:08…
This was surprising to me. How could this be? Could I have really slept peacefully through the whole night?
You see, earlier in the year, my nights had been nearly sleepless ones. Tossing and turning, mind racing, heart pounding…
Nights filled with fear. Fear of the unknown. Fear … (4 comments)

naperville real estate: Reconsidering my life, my career, and my path on a Tuesday morning... - 11/05/19 04:49 AM
Good morning!
I woke last night at 2:30 am. Calm and relaxed, yet still contemplative…
I had finished my previous day of work late, not getting home from my last appointment until 9pm…
When I got home, I reached out to a friend. A friend who I respect, care for, and greatly value her thoughts, ideas and opinions…
After talking for a bit, she asked me a question out of left field, or so I thought at the time…
“Do you think you are holding onto anything that is limiting you from moving forward in life?” she asked.
Wow. Deep, I thought. No … (6 comments)

naperville real estate: Waking peacefully and purposefully on a Sunday morning... - 11/03/19 05:57 AM
Good morning!
I just woke up from a deep sleep. A wonderful sleep. 9 hours of dream filled, nearly uninterrupted sleep…
And I woke feeling calm. At peace. An awesome feeling…
This year has been one of many challenges for me. A year filled with bouts of depression as well as fits of manic emotions. A year where it was hard to find any peace. That is, until recently…
I have written many times about my journey. Knowing I am on a path of self awareness, and self improvement…
When one is looking inside and sees the need for change, it can be … (8 comments)

naperville real estate: Moving into and winning the Naperville, Illinois real estate market... - 11/02/19 03:33 PM
Good afternoon!
As many of you know, I have an extremely strong presence in the Four Lakes, Lisle neighborhood as the go to Realtor for the community. This is due to an aggressive marketing campaign which I began a few years back...

naperville real estate: Cleaning out the "closet" in your life... - 11/01/19 06:08 AM
Good morning! 
I had an interesting day of work yesterday. Well, it was probably interesting on several levels, but I will focus on the work side this morning…
I had two of the homes I had listed for sale come off the market without selling…
That rarely happens to me. Honestly, most of my listings sell quite quickly, often the first weekend they are on the market…
This wasn’t the case with these two homes. One got very few showings. The other got a whole bunch of showings, but no contract offers. Both were on the market for several months, and probably weren’t … (14 comments)

naperville real estate: Embracing the snow and my inner child in Naperville... - 10/30/19 05:45 AM
Good morning!!
It is a beautiful snowy morning in Naperville. And there is more snow scheduled for today and tomorrow…
I love snow. It reminds me of so many happy childhood memories. Snow days from school. Sledding with friends. Snowball fights. Snow angels. Shoveling the neighbors driveways for lots of money…
Good memories. Memories that make me feel alive. Youthful. Excited. Joyous...
Yes, traffic will be slower today. But really, what are we all in a hurry for anyway?
When did so many of us grow up and stop remembering what a gift life can be. And a snowy day, yes, even a snowy day in … (6 comments)
