Spring is at our doorstep! While winter was mild this year, I still look forward to warmer, longer days that invite us to come out and play. Spring holds the essence of change, and I love the unique rhythms of this playful season. Some days though, it can feel a bit hectic -spring break, end of the school year, and all the activities that come with that.

For me, this year is particularly poignant. My youngest graduates from high school and will start college in the fall. So, I am being even more present to all “the lasts” this spring, before we have an empty nest.

In the spirit of “spring cleaning”, I am re-vamping my monthly emails to you. First, I commit to writing monthly, no matter what is happening in my life, or in the world. Writing is therapeutic for me, and I appreciate being able to share my reflections on life, real estate, and the spaces we live in that nurture our dreams.

I am also being more intentional about what I share. There are many places we can look for information, and answers to questions are easily available. I want to do more than that. Asking what matters most is really asking what we value—what is worth investing our time and energy in, and what is worth loving in our lives.

By sharing what matters most to me, I hope to encourage you to consider the same. I invite you to pause long enough to ask and answer the question: what matters most to you in the day-to-day? As the seasons change, I’m choosing to stay curious, embrace the adventure, and focus on what matters most. I hope you’ll join me in that exploration.
