Finding Beauty in What Already Is

My name is Kristin Koonce Burroughs and this website used to be all about real estate. I still have to disclose that I’m a REALTOR® at BOLD Real Estate Group, but I’m making adjustments and am finding my footing (again). As I have wrestled with what it looks like for me to step into what God has for me and be the woman He created me to be, my goals and priorities have changed. There is something about experiencing tragedy in your life that wakes you up to what actually matters. For me, that is my relationship with Jesus, my husband, my family, and my friends.

While I do believe we were created to work, I realized I don’t want to spend the rest of my life talking about real estate, so I’m not. I’ve deleted the 40+ blog posts I wrote about real estate and am back to focusing on words that hold much deeper meaning to me—words that matter for eternity! If something were to happen of me, I don’t want my friends and family to be left with posts about price adjustments or stats about the East Texas real estate market. The value I give to my clients comes by way of one-on-one conversations. I don’t have to talk about real estate on social media or via blog posts to serve them well. It’s okay if you disagree with that.

These days, my work load is lighter and I write a lot more about what God is teaching me. I’m no longer trying to build my book of business. I am trying to be a faithful steward of the gifts and passions God instilled in me long ago. I am pursuing dreams I’ve held close for 15+ years. I am being bold and courageous and taking risks and, together, Daniel and I are stepping into unfamiliar places to pursue what’s closest to our hearts.
