I'll Bet You Can't Watch This Without Smiling

What a week!  Selling real estate hasn't been easy for a few years now, but lately it seems to be getting even worse.  Financing isn't easy, emotions are high, and more and more hoops are added every time I turn around.  Buyers are lighting up the phones, but afraid to make a move for fear of missing out on a better deal somewhere down the road.  Sellers have cut prices so low, they literally don't have any room to negotiate.  Trying to come to a "meeting of the minds" is no easy feat when the starting positions are growing so far apart.

It's one of those weeks when I actually wonder if I'm going to find out how high my stress level can climb before I actually crack, and then I stumbled across this audition of a little girl named Rachel from "X Factor" last night.  This little bundle of happiness had me smiling before she even began singing.  Watching her happy face, her enthusiasm and bubbly personality was so contagious....and such a welcome relief from all the high stress.  She lifted my spirits and has kept me smiling all night.  I'm so glad God put people like her in the world.  She was just the ray of sunshine I needed.

I know one thing:  the REALTOR® who is lucky enough to help Rachel and her family find a new home....of course, with a private bathroom for Rachel....will have one unforgettable experience!

I'll bet you can't watch it without smiling either.

You sure nailed that one! I am smiling. Her jubilation is simply contagious, and her talent is astounding. I have never watched that show, but I'm surely gonna have to now!

Such a big stage for a small person, but with a huge voice!  Thanks so much for sharing this.  I can't wait to send this to my granddaughter - same age!  Suggested!
