Setting intentions in 2020

January is heaven for me. I’m a goal-setter, a journal-writer, a vision board-er. I love my life but I can always think of a dozen adjustments I’d like to make, and I live for that “fresh start” feeling that the new year brings.

This year, my biggest goal (I prefer “goal” to “resolution”) is all about intention. Like so many other women I know, I live that hectic mom life. It can be easy to trade convenience for quality, or to get so caught up in the hustle and bustle that I lose track of what’s truly meaningful. Here are a few of the ways that I’d like to bring more intention into my life in 2020:

Intentional time with my tiny human. One huge and happy shake-up I have planned for 2020: I’m expecting another baby! While my sweet family of 3 is definitely looking forward to expanding, I want to be sure the big-brother-to-be gets as much of my time and attention as he deserves.

Intentional time with my husband. My husband is a fantastic father — but he’s also more than that. It’s time to carve out date nights again, remember how we make one another laugh, and reconnect as the unique people who first fell for one another.

Intentional time with my clients. My clients have goals just like I do, and I am going to help them achieve their real estate dreams! That starts with intentional communication and the same kind quality time I’d give to any relationship that mattered to me. I believe that this is already a service that I provide, but to me it’s always worth reflecting and making sure I am living up to my goals. How might I serve you better in 2020?

4 fun ways to shake up 2020

Happy New Year!

By now you may be overwhelmed by “new year, new you” posts. I happen to like you just the way you are — but if you’re feeling stuck in a rut, I am here to offer a few ideas of how to shake it off and give 2020 the fresh start it deserves.

  1. Put on your best filter. Did you know that Denver and Boulder have opened Selfie Museums? They’re just what they sound like: collections of fun rooms designed specifically for you to take delightful photos in. If your profile picture is still from that 5k you ran two years ago, you owe yourself some fresh photos with the bomb lighting.
  2. Listen to Oprah. That’s not a metaphor. She’s coming to Denver in March!
  3. Climb out of the box. Nudge yourself toward something new. Art galleries leaving you cold? Try RiNo’s Side Stories, which project art and videos on the outside of buildings. So over staycations? Hit the road with 303 Magazine‘s scenic road trip plans. Tired of your hotels not offering you kangaroo kisses? Golden has an interactive “vacation rental zoo.” I could do this all day, guys.
  4. Shake up your surroundings. Come on, you know I had to include this one. Is it time to tackle that kitchen remodel to add value to your home? Or perhaps you’ve outgrown your house altogether, and you’re ready to see what else is out there? If this is the year you need to change up your digs, please reach out — I would love to talk about how to make this happen for you in 2020.
