The stories are my favorite part...
Some stories I want to stand up and CHEER.. .some I laugh about LATER.. some STILL make me tear up when I think about them.
They make me think about things in my own life.. the things that cause these sales to happen.. they always makes me feel something... always.
LIFE -- the THICK of it -- happens EVERY DAY and it forces EACH of these sales to happen..
the drive for something different out of life,
the joys that happen to each of us in life,
the challenges/struggles/tragedies life sometimes hands us.
In-my-own-house life is sometimes THICK (loud) with this kind of stuff.
Then on other days I think it's THIN and quiet... and there's nothing going on.
Oh.. but the other day I was reminded that life is THICK everyday -- somewhere...
At 1:00pm I showed a house to a couple looking to create their first home.
They're getting married in September.
It was fun..they were smiling..
They have plans.. we made some plans...
At 2:00pm I toured a home where the father met me at the door...
his 18 year old daughter looked up at me from the couch as I walked into the living room...
his little 5th grade son walked into the room...
The kids followed us as we walked thru the house. They piped up here and there about stuff they wanted me to see.
They had just lost their mom a few months ago and they all want to sell and have a new start.
I left them and came home..
My mother-in-law was over. When I walked in the door her and the girls were elbow deep in APRONS and EASY BAKES.. there were miniature pizzas and chocolate chip cookies all over the kitchen.
Later I talked to my mom for almost an hour on the phone.
It's crazy how much LIFE happens in one day!
