April 15, 2025

Sometimes, you just need a quiet place to walk, breathe, and recharge.

Here are some of the best quiet walking trails in West Linn, Oregon City, Lake Oswego, Tualatin, and Wilsonville.

Lake Oswego

  • Iron Mountain Park – A scenic, wooded trail system with gentle elevation changes and a tranquil setting.

I just adore Oksana. Spending the evening in her beautiful home, sharing the most delicious dinner with her and her boys, was such a joy. This incredible mama of four is doing truly amazing things. While her husband is in Ukraine caring for his mom, she continues to show up with so much strength, grace, and love. Getting to help her move from a two-bedroom apartment into a 3,000+ square foot home was one of those moments that reminds me why I love what I do.

Realtors…do feel like you’ve been pulled back this year? That’s exactly what a slingshot does right before it launches forward. We all hit those seasons that feel like setbacks. Whether it’s a shifting market or a slower month. But what if that tension you’re feeling isn’t failure? What if it’s just resistance building momentum? The most successful brokers I know don’t panic during the pullback. They use this time to refine, reflect, and get laser-focused. Because when the market shifts again (and it always does), the agents who have been quietly preparing are the ones who are going to launch the farthest. 🚀 If this is your pullback season, don’t panic…prepare. The launch is coming. 📌 Save this post for the days you need the reminder.

Our Christmas breakfast ornament exchange game is one of my favorite traditions. 🎄 Roll the dice → unwrap → swap → slide left → slide right → try not to get too attached. 😂 Here’s what everyone ended up with this year. Which one would’ve been your pick?
