2022 Conforming Loan Limits – Woah!!
2022 is certainly bringing in a lot of changes when it comes to many things, but the only thing I am going to talk about today is the astounding new mortgage limits! I am a Loan Officer, after all. The country has seen some pretty crazy price increases when it comes to housing prices as…

When You Forgive, You Bring Joy Back
Un-forgiveness: the bitter fruit that rots us from the inside-out. It happens when you continue to carry memories from your past into your present moment. When you continuously live in the past, those memories take up a lot of room in your heart. So much so, that one day you have no more room left…

May You Find Your Cairns
Newsflash! I LOVE to hike. All along the paths of the trails that I traverse, I am guided by cairns that show me which way to proceed. Sometimes, the path ahead of me is not always clear. I need something to show me which way to go…either I am going in the right direction, or…

Stem Cells – They Did My Body Good
Putting the stemmies in!! A year ago, Mike, his parents and I travelled to San Diego and then later to Tijuana, Mexico for stem cells for me. A year ago, I could not take 10 steps without wildly being out of breath. I could not talk a full sentence without gasping. I could not…

Gut Feelings

Settling for Crumbs
This past weekend, I heated up some chicken and decided to feed it to the dogs for dinner. I knew that they could sense my intentions, as all three of them proceeded to sit down and stare at me and act like little angels. 3 dogs in a row. I cut the chicken up into…

Ugly Trees
This pic has nothing to do with my post! HA This is my mom’s new adorable dog, Blue. I mean, come on, who doesn’t like puppy pictures?? I had a rough week this past week. It has been very stressful and especially full of fires, which have been difficult to put out. I’ve been tired…
