Dear Reader,

Hello, my beautiful friend. I'm reaching out today with love and connection. It's 9.11 and today feels like a calling for help, wholeness, and heart.

A really quick update: I am working in real estate full-time again after a brief stint helping in the performing arts that I love so much. I have TWO teenagers now—my youngest turned 13 yesterday—and here we go! My life is not without challenges but I am grateful for all that I have and am able to do and be.

You know, it's scary to put ourselves out there, be authentic and speak and act in accordance with our truth, worth and value.

With an uptick in violence, doom narratives and media replays (which studies have shown trick our brains into believing that one bad event happens multiple times), it's easy to shut down and get discouraged, which leaves us without courage.

But I know you, and you are on this list because of what you embody: intelligence, compassion, authentic self-expression, connection, yes, courage, and a deep caring for the world.

My clock shows that it's 11:11 right now. Woo-woo or not, I am shown four ones daily, which serve as a reminder to me that I and all of us are held and guided by something greater than ego, better than fear, more powerful than discouragement.

What symbol or message keeps showing up for you that connects you more deeply to your own capacity, to spirit or your greater self?

Lean in, my friend, and take a stand today for yourself and the world. Courage is very much alive in us, on 9.11 and every day of the year.

With you, Reader,

Hollis

Real Estate Referrals While my business is built on referrals you send my way (THANK YOU) I reciprocate by providing a network of referrals to make your life easier. If you need a referral of any kind—from finding out what your home worth to window washing, house cleaners, pet sitters, stables, rentals, babysitters (I have two at home!), I either already have a referral or will get you one. Let's stay connected!
