You May Not Change the World, BUT You CAN Change a Life!
Not everyone can change the world, but ALL of us can help to change one life. You never know the impact of our words, your actions or your generosity can make in someone else’s life until you actually do it. Say or write those kind words of encouragement, those accolades and the positivity to those…

Top 3 Things – A Day in the Life of a Loan Officer
When you apply for a home loan, you are asked for a barrage of items. I know. It is a lot sometimes. You have to trust me when I tell you that the list you are sent has been carefully combed over so that the items I ask you for are the ones that are…

A Prayer for When I am Anxious
Sometimes, I wake up with some anxiety. I play my upcoming busy day in my head over and over, which is silly, because really, I don’t know how it is going to go. I did that this morning when I woke my own self up thinking about the million things that I have to get…

Joshua
There are certain people in this world that stand out as nothing short of extraordinary.

A Little Sauntering, Anyone?
I feel like we all need to practice a little sauntering in our lives. It puts things into perspective. Slows our roll just a little bit. We are programed to go SO FAST now – always rushing from one thing to the next. 100 MPH all day until we crash at night…only to get up…

Doubt and Trust
We have these 2 sculptures in our house that we picked up in Jerome, AZ that were made by a Christian artist. The second I saw them, I fell in love with what they represented. The first one is of a man sitting a huge rock. He is blindfolded and holding a large rock in…

Want to succeed in business? Show some class.
I saw this meme a few days go and saved it, like I do to many that speak to me in one way or the other. When I read it, it made me laugh because this is something I talk about a lot. Someone’s gotta say it. Where did our “class” go? In that same…
