A New Chapter...

A lot has happened since my last post in May of 2025. Global chaos steadily continued to erupt, I closed a bunch of deals, leaned into self care and then oh - we got kids!

I haven't written in a bit. My blog has always been a bit of an umbrella system...write here, share it to various social platforms. I stopped writing when I stepped away from social media early last year. With the constant barrage of brutally sad and horrifying information being shared on the advocacy pages I follow, I wasn't eating or sleeping correctly, so I took a break from all of the things.

Since then, I've managed to dive fully into my community. The summer of 2025 was spent primarily in nature. Gardening, hiking, forest bathing, camping, meditating - they filled my soul. I spent time nurturing my community and being fully present in the conversations I was having with friends and family. I steadied myself in the deals I was under contract on and allowed the Universe to work her magic on those that were meant to come my way.

As the school year approached, I got a call from my older sister in Florida. It was finally time for her to leave her partner and move to Colorado. With our help, her and her kids could start a new life and build a future that they would all be excited about.

100% on board, Hendrik, Dad and I cleared out a bedroom and set up a space for three littles:

With my sister in school, and the kids living with us for the past six months, we have been getting a real taste of "the sweet life" - that is... parenting. Hendrik and I have been married for nine years and we don't have children of our own. Becoming the sudden primary caregivers for three kids (ages 4, 5, and 6) has been an interesting first look into the world of caring for kids. In so many ways, it's like they have always been here. Other days, I wonder if I've lost my mind to have taken on such a mission.

Here's where I owe a huge thank you to that community I was telling you about. Y'all... when I say you showed up - you showed up! I sent out the S.O.S. ("hey, we are getting kids in a week... help?") and our friends immediately started stopping by with clothes, shoes, toys, books, nightlights, candy, learning materials, teddy bears, blankets, furniture, games, pre-made meals - you name it... someone was dropping it off on the front porch that week. I cannot overstate that this undertaking would not have been possible without the help of those of you who have been so kind to help us thus far. I am so grateful to have such a fantastic community of people to lean on, and in turn for my sister and her kids to lean on as well. This experience has reassured me on the deepest level that Denver is where we belong.

2025 rounded out as my best year in real estate since I got licensed in 2018. The majority of the year was not spent "prospecting" in the general sense. Instead, I spent time building connections and nurturing relationships with people who make me feel like sunshine. Each year, I'm grateful to serve so many wonderful people. It's a deep honor to be the agent of choice for single women, the LGBTQIA+ community, and families who are ready to take the next step in their path to building wealth. It's not a duty I take lightly and it means everything to me to provide each and every client with above-average service.

This will be my last post again for a bit. I will be spending my time cuddling Cracker Jack and Keenan, reading to littles, playing magnetics and dolls, and riding our bikes together. I wanted you to know that while I won't be posting my usual 'congratulatory' posts to each individual client anymore, I am still an open book about my business. If you're ever curious about a particular situation or how the market is fairing - just ask! I am always happy to share stories and give you the nitty gritty of what is happening in the wild world of real estate.

Please choose to be a light in this dark world,
