Good morning & welcome to a fresh new week! Friday was simply full thus a Monday morning post.

Packing my bags today and traveling to our annual Windermere Owners meetings for the week.  Looking forward to the collaboration & connection across our entire network.

I am packing my curiosity for all of us; per usual! 💭

Before I go…sharing a quick video message from me this morning as I show a small NWMLS hack that I am enjoying and thought it might to be an idea worth sharing with all of you. Click here! Hint: this hack shows quick trends, opportunities to celebrate each other, open house opportunities & more etc…

📣 And, reminder that health care open enrollment starts on Nov 1^st and we have a new Windermere Agent Health Plan at Stride. 📣

Last week I had the opportunity to be a guest at the RISE WITH RYTHER luncheon. To open the program, a poem by the “Ryther Youth” was read aloud. The power of the written word – the power of hope from the optics of youth. I simply wanted to share as we begin again into a new week.

“Amidst the trials, like a bird, I rise. Through stormy skies, my spirit flies. With wings of hope and dreams so wide. Adversity, I’ll conquer, and fears subside.

As a humble sparrow, I may be small. But within my heart, strength stands tall. In unity with others, I find my power. To face the tempest, to bloom and flower.

With every challenge, my wings grow strong. A phoenix reborn, I right the wrong. Through trials and tribulations, I rise. Above the chaos, to claim the prize.

With wings of faith and courage I try. I rise, no longer asking why. For through adversity, I have grown. Like a bird in flight, I have found my own.” – Ryther Youth

Welcome to a fresh new week. How will you design it? Back to packing my bags for meetings with curiosity as the first item to bring with me; always. – Laura
