HERE’S THE DEAL: I hate heights but I still summit mountains and rock climb. 🧗‍♀️🪨 BUT I do have to breathe through it and it’s not easy but I still do it!! 😮‍💨😅 I also am terrified of rattlesnakes and avoid being near them if I can help it! 🐍 You won’t find me becoming a rattlesnake tamer to overcome THAT fear! 😰 So I’d like to know, what is it that you do to push through your fears?

This 1 thing can create a connection with a stranger in seconds! 🤍 Simply just saying, “Bless you!” when someone sneezes can break the ice and instantly open the way for a conversation. 🫢 Simple and kind gestures can spread a little bit of sunshine too! ☀️ What are some small kind gestures you do or you have had done for you that brightened your day?

I had no idea this sweet girl would remember me years later and I consider it a privilege that I was able to be there for her and comfort her during an anxiety attack when she was so far away from home! When you do good things it comes back to you in the most surprising ways! Now my buyers have a beautiful home they are enjoying! Win - win! 💚 🥳

You won’t believe what happened to me and a client while out looking at a house. 😬😳😱 So scary, right?! It was insane and freaked us out! When I called the listing agent his response was, “Oh, I thought the sellers were going to take it out.” I have no words! There’s always an adventure in real estate but thank goodness we were both safe! 😰
