Happy Friday!

22 years ago on the last Friday in June, I stepped onto an elevator disappointed.

I had driven all the way to Arlington, VA, hoping to come home with a signed contract for the Arlington County Public School System. Instead, I was leaving empty-handed.

Then the elevator doors closed.

I waited. The next elevator opened. And a man in a golf shirt and khakis stepped on.

I said, "Happy Friday!" — because that's just who I am.

He paused. "Why are you so cheerful?"

I smiled. "Why not? It's Friday. It's beautiful outside. And tomorrow I'm playing steel pan in the Caribbean Day Parade in DC."

His eyes lit up. His soon-to-be wife was Guyanese. He knew exactly what a steel drum was.

We laughed. We talked. And then we stepped off that elevator — and he stopped at a door, knocked, and asked the man inside to tell me who he was.

"This is Mr. Richard Davis. Director of Procurement for Arlington County Public Schools."

The same name on the unsigned contract in my hand.

I looked at him. "Yeah right… and I'm Janet Jackson."

We both laughed. He said I looked like Penny from Good Times. We laughed harder.

Then he looked me in the eye and said:

"Go tell Fran to put you on my calendar. When I get back from my honeymoon — I'm going to help you."

I didn't know it then — but that moment was divine timing meeting preparation meeting authenticity.

When he got back, we sat down. He opened doors. He made calls. He referred me to his network. He believed in me when I was six months into a territory that was -236% in the red, under contract with the competition.

That year? I won Rookie of the Year.

Today — June 26, 2026 — is Richard and Margaret Davis's 22nd Wedding Anniversary.

To Richard: Thank you for seeing something in a young woman in a yellow pantsuit carrying an unsigned contract. Thank you for pouring into me. Thank you for modeling what real mentorship looks like. Thank you for opening doors and creating innovative paths to success. Thank you for treating me like family, and the daughter you never had. I am grateful for every lesson learned.

And to Margaret — thank you for sharing him with the world. Congratulations on 22 beautiful years. 🥂

This story is why I do what I do.
In real estate. In life. In business.

I show up. I stay cheerful. I build relationships.
And I trust that the right elevator will always open at the right time.

Tag someone that has poured into you.

Comment "JDK" if you think I look like Janet Jackson when she played "Penny"

Be Still ✨✨✨

You can't start the next chapter of your life, if you keep re-reading the last one.
Your value doesn't decrease based on someone's inability to see your worth.
What is coming is better than what is gone.

God prepared a table for me here, not to stay, but to show me my strength and give me the courage to walk away. I loved my career, but the toxic environment, the microaggressions, and the destruction of my soul were not what I deserved. Today, on the two-year mark, I choose to release the pain, the hurt, and the trauma. My peace is my victory. This is my reminder✨ I have everything I need. Because the God is all-sufficient, the sheep will be provided for completely (food, water, safety). It is a statement of contentment and trust. God, You are my Shepherd, and because You lead me, I shall not want. I declare that all my financial, emotional, and spiritual needs are met in You.
You lead me from the stressful, toxic past to lie down in green meadows, the restful and intentional foundation of my business. You draw me to peaceful streams, calming the waters of any past hurt and anxiety.
I am deeply grateful that You are revealing to me the truth about people I trusted and loved. The veil is lifted. You restore my soul by providing the spirit of discernment, allowing me to see clearly.
You guide me along right paths that bring honor to Your name. I am grateful to recognize the people who are genuinely supportive and helping me as I develop and grow my business. I will only walk the path with those who lift me up.
My Confidence in the Valley
Even though I walked through the darkest valley of that toxic work past, I will not be afraid. I am filled with confidence, knowing You are close beside me.
I am grateful to have clear, undeniable 🙌🏽✨💛reminders that I am on the right path, and my work is divinely aligned and inspired. Your presence is my constant assurance.
Your rod (protection) and Your staff (guidance) defend my focus, my energy, and my vision. They comfort me with the certainty that I am equipped for this new season of business and growth.
My Feast of Victory and Honor
You prepare a feast of opportunity and favor for me. Our family business is thriving, and my efforts are richly rewarded.
I feast in the presence of any lingering doubt or negativity from the past, showing that Your blessing and my success are undeniable.
You honor me by anointing my head with oil✨ a seal of distinction, creativity, and favor on all my work. My cup overflows with blessings, abundance, and the wealth needed to sustain this divine work.
My Future Secured in Love
I decree that Your goodness and unfailing love will actively pursue and overtake me every single day of my life.
I am not just surviving or recovering; I am building a powerful legacy. I will live forever in the house of the LORD🙏🏽a space of profound peace, confidence, and unending abundance.
Amen.
