I’m a one-of-a-kind East Texas REALTOR® who is passionate about finding beauty in what already is and using creativity to help others see it, too.
Blog
Honestly, I just want to add value to the lives of others and serve them in a way that hopefully enriches their life for the better. Whether I am sharing helpful tips regarding real estate or sharing what God is up to in my personal life, I want this to be a safe place others can turn to. My hope is to take what I know or experience and present it in a way that’s meaningful and impactful.
Chicken Wire, Blisters, and Wounded Hearts
Have you ever been deeply wounded by someone you loved and who loved you? It really messes you up internally and you don’t quite know what to do with yourself after that, am I right?
Building new relationships becomes a struggle because we are terrified of getting hurt again. We begin reacting and responding in certain ways because we fear rejection. We fear being known and loved again because of where being known and loved got us—left with a broken heart and serious self-esteem issues.
East Texas Real Estate Market Update (Feb. 2023)
I typically send an email out with a market update but figured I’d include that information here as well. I want you to always feel like you have someone to turn to for trusted, reliable information! Especially when it comes to real estate. I want you to be in the loop so you know whether or not it’s a good time for you to buy/sell property.
Why You Shouldn’t Overprice Your Home
I hear a lot of folks say they’re not in a hurry to sell their home and they want to list it higher than the market says it’s worth. To those folks, I would say this:
If you’re not needing or truly wanting to sell your house, don’t sell right now because otherwise you won’t be motivated to do what needs to be done in order to sell your home.

What NOT to Do When Applying for a Loan

St. Augustine Grass & Surface-Level Faith
This blog post is a little bit about church, and a whole lot about faith. Proceed with caution as I dive in & share my experience as a lover of Jesus who is not involved in a church & hasn’t been for 4 years.
Storage Room Blinds & Sanctification
As I was unscrewing the blinds in my storage room, I found myself near tears thinking about God & his love for me & for you.
Tangled Hair & Tangled Hearts
I somehow convinced my niece to let me brush her hair the other night. I put Mirror, Mirror on the TV and then had her sit in my lap on the couch. As I sat behind her and watched her tiny shoulders rise each time the bristles got caught in a knot, head tucked in tight to protect herself from more pain, I found myself thinking about the journey towards sanctification.
Dirty Shoes, Puddles, and Being With Others Who Are Struggling
God used dirty shoes and puddles as a metaphor to remind me what it looks like to be with others who are struggling on their journey.
A Few Thoughts Re: 1 Thessalonians
