I was talking with a friend the other day, and she was sharing her excitement about the possibility of renting a house. She has been renting a condo for the last few years, and she has really wanted to just get into a house. She said to me, “I need to be able to get…

Take Time to Make Time
A friend reached out a few days ago to say she was in town, well not far from me anyway, and asked if we could have lunch. My schedule that particular day was crazy and I was bummed as I replied that I didn’t think it would work out. A little while later she texted…

Listen
