First off, Happy New Year!
With the year starting out I wanted to give you a bonus just for knowing me. You might not know that I have been working on a book for the past few years titled How To Be Happier. It has been a labor of love and I have so thoroughly enjoyed the process.
Don’t worry, I am still a Realtor, and I don’t have any plans of going anywhere. If you are looking to buy or sell, I am here for you and I want to help.
In an effort to build an audience for the book I started blogging over at HowToBeHappier.blog. As I worked on it though, I found I also loved blogging. I found it aligned with my book really well. The extremely short version of my book is you are what you focus on. If you are always looking for what is wrong, guess what you are going to find.
For my blog, I write a daily post about something to help you think about what makes you happy. The posts never take more than one minute to read. Short, sweet, and to the point. My idea is if you have something that makes you think about your own happiness everyday, maybe it will help you be happier over time.
Sometimes my posts are longer, like this:
Post 65: Lack vs. Luck
I was talking with a friend about a fear of missing out on beauty in the world. There is so much I could overlook because I am unaware of it, or simply not focused on it when it occurs.
My counterpoint was that I am missing out on 99.999% of the beauty in the world at all times. Not to mention how many billions of 9’s I would need to add to that number if I included the rest of the universe. Instead of taking my time worrying about what I am not experiencing, I could simply spend more time focusing on the beauty and love I do have the privilege of experiencing.
I can always focus on lack. I can always focus on luck. Both are around me all the time in far more abundance than I could ever take in. I have the ability to choose which one I look for.
Sometimes they are really short, like this:
Post 84: Just Keep Swimming
The only thing that can make me fail is if I quit. If I keep trying, I am simply getting closer to success.
Either way, you can get something everyday to help you think about how to be happier. If this is not for you, don’t worry. You will never get an email like this from me again. From now on, I will talk about real estate, and only real estate. If you are interested, there are many ways to connect. The easiest is to just subscribe at HowToBeHappier.blog and you will get an email every day.

Or I will read the posts each day on:
I hope this helps in some way. My goal as a realtor is to have happy clients. I hope you to want to work with me 20 years from now. Have a fabulous, and happier, 2023!
