CHAPTER 10: October 🤍
For nine months, I’ve been learning how to slow down. On October 5th, my grandma passed away, and my whole world stopped.
For only the third time in my real estate career, I had an entire month without a single closing. Normally, that would have sent me into a spiral. But this time I was grateful. Grateful that life had made room for me to just be.
My grandma was the matriarch of our family. She had this incredible gift of making everyone feel loved, seen, and special. Family or not, if you knew her, you knew how lucky you were.
I’ve spent a lot of this month reflecting on the kind of legacy I want to leave. I’ve found myself cooking more, trying new recipes in her honor, wanting to care for my body, hold my family closer, and make people feel even a fraction of the love she gave so freely.
I hope that someday, when people think of me, they feel a little piece of her.
I know the grief will change with time. But I also know I don’t want to rush through it. Not the sadness, not the memories, not the lessons.
This month, I don’t have a favorite day. Just a deeper appreciation for the days we’re given.
So here’s your reminder, and mine, to SLOW down. Call your people. Make the meal. Stay a little longer. Let the little things be the big things.
Because time is the one thing we can never get back. 🤍
