Love your story and your strength of character to follow your intuition. It seems to have served you well. If having that wonderful porch where you can spend time reading, writing and dreaming was the result then it was worth every penny. Love reading your thoughts, keep writing and dreaming!
Thank you Sherry! I guess following my real estate intuition has been so easy and second nature to me that I never saw it as strength of character, but I'll take it!
Okay, you busted me up laughing with the: "Seriously, I've given more thought to a pair of jeans while sitting in the dressing room at the GAP, a situation that rarely seems to be spot on right or has me saying "you LIVE in these jeans!" comment. Love you! Hope to see your houses one of these days.
Laurie, after being in the building business for 20 years I have seen SO many people miss out on the home of their dreams simply because they were too scared to commit, to afraid to just take a chance and go for it. Being sure of what you want, following your gut instinct and following through, believe me that is definitely a strong character trait. It's gotten you what you want in your life, a lovely home with the perfect porch in Lawrence and an awesome getaway in the mountains in Colorado. Could you have played it safe? Saved your money? Bought based solely on resale potential? Stayed totally conservative in an iffy financial climate? Decided to just stay where you were? Sure, but look at what you would have missed. I see you actually "living" your life, that is wonderful and yeah, a great character trait!
WOW! Thank you so much Sherry! When it feels right…. The older I get, the more in touch I feel with that inner voice. She's not steered me wrong yet! Thanks for your support!
