Beachy Beach May Love Note

My monthy note to the most precious office in the world!!!!
Dear Precious Ones,
Trying to write my monthly love letter to you but having a writers block... my heart is open so hopefully that will win out. There are so many wonderful things to say to you but I do not know where to start. Do I talk about your passion, your compassion, your ability to think Big, Do I talk about your desire to be servent leaders or do I praise you for the energy and the spirit that you bring to our business and to my life? Do I tell you that I can not imagine working with anyone but you, that you have made my life so full and blessed and exciting? Do I tell you that you make me stretch and for that I am so grateful? Do I just say I love you for making my life and making me more of what I think God desires me to be? Maybe if I just think on these things then if I just throw my heart over the bar my heart will follow and I can write my letter to you.
As I thought about what in the world to share this time... my mission statement is fresh on my mind and heart. It is somewhat our golden rule of doing unto others as we would have them do unto us. Our version of course is and you hear it all the time is... ."The only people we have to get even with are those that have helped us." This applies to even those other Realtors that are not so kind to us, those that don't really do it the way we think they should do it.... and actually especially to those people. It applies to those that we think have wronged us or do not treat us with love. It applies to those who need our forgiveness and to those that we want to forgive us. This job really is spiritual in nature. I think that is what God has in mind when he ask us to treat our neighbors with love and kindness and more so for those that are not so easy to love!!!
So as I let my heart flow and type with my heart I think on these things:
When you want to be lifted up then
lift another up,
When you want to be praised then find someone to praise,
When you need more income give more away,
When want to be loved then love more!!!
When you want more customers then find more people to serve,
When you want more of your work environment then be about spreading more joy, more compassion, more tenderness and more hope to EVERYONE who enters in and by doing so you will have all of this and more.
I have found that the more I try to radiate joy and warmth more comes back to me. You are all so masterful at doing this and which is why I love you so. Thanks for working with me and putting up with all of my idiosyncrasies which are too many to count. I am so grateful to God for you and look forward to more fun, more love and more adventure as we continue our mission of doing Real Estate in a kinder more gentle fashion. Sometimes my heart just overflows with what you mean to me and I just can not contain it... this is one of those times.
grateful,
Karen
ps. Now where the hell did I put my keys?????
