Try not to faint with surprise, my 7 or 8 readers, that you are reading a blog post from me twice in (uh almost) the same week. I am working toward more frequent posts, possibly of shorter lengths. Will they be pithy and clever? (and do those two words really mean the same thing?) I cannot be sure. But here I am.
This week marks a significant change in my professional surroundings. I have moved my license to Pilkerton Realtors; several of my esteemed colleagues moved with me. Many of you know I have contemplated what my future in real estate would look like for some time; and had decided a while back that maybe management of the company wasn’t my gig. So, I will stick with straight sales for now and have found myself a new setting and formed a new framework for a fresh start in real estate! I have long admired Jimmy Pilkerton and the outstanding agents who work with him. I am ready to learn more, be more productive, and advocate for my clients more effectively. Thank you to those who have supported and encouraged me to follow this path of change. I look forward to my new beginning. Real estate remains challenging but Nashville is seeing some action, believe me. My father has been supportive and I think is looking forward to a more scaled back company. I am grateful for my parents’ unwavering, unselfish support of my decision. Mom and I will continue to work together. She has been the best mentor I could hope for and is one of the very best Realtors I know!
I am starting to get a tiny glimpse into how this whole cancer thing will affect me going forward. The truth is, the big decisions suddenly don’t feel so big. The problems I thought were big problems are really just little obstacles to be overcome. Change is inevitable, might as well embrace it. That is my latest mantra.
Thursday was my sweet Jamie’s 12th birthday. My how time flies. Seems like only yesterday we brought him home to our little house on South Wilson. He is turning into a lovely person whose company I enjoy immensely! Change is on the horizon for him too, as he will head to MBA this fall. He is of course nervous and excited at the same time. I hope we can show him that change can be positive and can enrich us in ways we don’t always anticipate.
Life is speeding up as it always does in the spring - soccer, baseball, tennis, dance, wine tastings, open houses, spring break, and on and on. I hope I can remember to stop and take a deep breath when I need to. Bring on the warm weather! Spring Break always comes at a needed time, just as the chaos starts to engulf me.
A little Kelly Corrigan essay along these same lines. Take a chance, move forward with your dream. You never know what is around the corner.
