As we celebrate Thanksgiving it is a great time to reflect and say a special thank you to all my clients. I am so grateful for all of you. This year has been amazing. I am blessed with so much.

I wish I had the words to express my deep appreciation to all my clients for the support they have given me this year. What is truly a blessing to me is that my clients start our as business associates, but immediately turn into friends.

The Real Estate business is about building relationships. I truly care about the people who hire me to help them find or sell their home. I hope that you know and can see my love, support and kindness as we go through the process.

My business would not be as successful as it is today with your wonderful referrals. I depend on referrals from you. It means so much and is the best compliment I could receive. A referral to me means you have confidence in me that I will take care of those you recommend including your family and friends.

I couldn’t be who I am today and do what I love doing without the love and support of my family. I am the mother to four amazing children that I love with all my heart. They are so appreciative and caring and make me want to be the best I can be as their mom and as a role model.

My oldest Hunter, 19, has become my real estate assistant this year, my computer guru and technology wiz. As a son, I could not have asked for a more sincere, kind, hardworking and caring man, who simply has a heart of gold. I am so proud and thankful for the man he has become. He has used his hardships in life to grow and develop and become a man of fortitude, strength and perseverance.

My daughter Victoria, 16, is one of the hardest working young women I know. I am so impressed with her ability to balance her college, work schedule, swim team and physical fitness, chores and still finds time to braid her sister’s hair.  I am so thankful for her listening ear and caring heart and of course her Netflix recommendations.

My daughter Elizabeth, 13, is the sweetest girl I know. I love how her confidence grew as did her height this past year. I can’t believe she is no longer my little girl at 5’10”. She is both physically and inwardly strong. Her heart is kind and tender. She encompasses what a true woman is. I look forward every morning to our bible studies on the way school and our sushi date nights. I am so thankful for her encouragement and heart of appreciation.

My baby Lily, 10, and is simply a bundle of fun in our family. I am thankful that she can make me smile everyday with her bubbly personality, independence and pure joy that shines from her. There is only one Lily who can touch everyone’s heart she meets.

I love Thanksgiving because it makes me reflect on my life and know what matters most and puts everything into perspective.  What are you thankful for this Thanksgiving? I would love to know. Leave me a comment.
