I recently applied for a scholarship program for (SPAAR) Saint Paul Area Association of REALTORS members who are interested in taking future leadership positions within the association. The scholarship would allow me to attend the National Association of Realtors Legislative Meetings held in Washington DC at the end of May.

And wouldn’t you know, I was fortunate enough to receive it!!🎉🎉🎉

Today marked the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz.

This day serves as a powerful reminder of the need to stand against hatred, discrimination, and injustice in all its forms.

May we never forget the lessons of history and strive to build a world where compassion, understanding, and humanity prevail.

Today I braved the cold ass MN weather (-35) and made my way to the Capital to join the Start with Home Rally where legislators and housing advocates gathered together to "start with home" and prioritize legislation that:

Saves and creates more homes
Expands access and opportunity
Secures predictable housing investments

Gov Walz reminded us that “Enthusiasm is easy, Endurance is hard” and Lt. Gov Peggy Flanagan shared the transformative effect that subsidized housing had on her life.

Ensuring that everyone has access to a stable home isn’t just a matter of addressing individual needs—it’s an investment in the strength and stability of our entire community. Housing provides a foundation for people to build better lives, fostering economic growth, improving health outcomes, and creating safer neighborhoods.

When we prioritize housing for all, we’re investing in a brighter, more equitable future that benefits everyone.

Dr. King’s legacy teaches us that true leaders serve others with humility, compassion, and an unwavering commitment to justice. He showed us that unity and collective action can overcome division, and that lasting change begins when we prioritize humanity over self-interest.

Leadership is found in our ACTIONS, our CHOICES, and our willingness to stand up for what is RIGHT— even when it’s difficult!!
(Must be why Elpahaba has resonated so much for me…if you haven’t seen Wicked the movie, do yourself a favor!!!)

Unity is not passive; it requires active participation. It means listening to those whose voices have been silenced, standing with those who are marginalized and holding OURSELVES accountable to the ideals of justice and equality.

“We may have all come on different ships, but we’re in the same boat now”

Let’s choose courage over complacency, empathy over indifference, and hope over despair. Persist, persist, persist. ❤️

As 2025 begins, I'm setting my intentions a little differently this year. Instead of striving to become a "new me," I'm choosing to nurture the me that already exists.
This year, I'm focusing on self-care, practicing patience with myself, and embracing self-acceptance. Life can often feel like a race to achieve or transform, but I've realized the most important thing is to honor where I am now and give myself the grace to grow at my own pace.
If you're feeling the pressure to reinvent yourself this year, I invite you to join me in letting go of those expectations. Let's celebrate who we are, care for ourselves with kindness, and focus on what truly brings us joy and peace.
Here's to a year of growth, healing and gratitude for the journey we're on.
Wishing you all a beautiful and fulfilling 2025!!

Today, we honor all who have served our nation in uniform, with a special acknowledgment for those veterans whose contributions and sacrifices have too often gone unrecognized. Indigenous, Black and other minority communities have bravely stepped forward in times of need, standing strong in the face of not only the challenges of service but also the barriers they faced at home. Let us remember their strength, resilience, and dedication to a country that hasn’t always acknowledged their sacrifices.

To all veterans, thank you for your service, courage, and commitment. Today and always, we salute you.
