So I am asked why a lot. I think that it is a question we are all asked a lot. It is also one that we ask a lot.
Why now?
Why me?
Why us?
Why did that happen?
Why?
It is a simple question, but the answers are usually complex. As parents we are all guilty of "because I said so, that is why." Well, at least I know I am and it is one response I try to steer away from. I try to always explain the why. Whether it is to my child, my husband, my mom, a friend, or anyone. I try to give them a why, if it is important enough to ask, I feel it is important enough to answer.
My clients, I will ask why to. Why are you moving? I cannot wait to hear their answers, jobs, schools, neighborhood, just ready for a change, the list is endless.
So I am doing some self examination right now and going to explain my why. I have a Master's in Business. I could probably go to work and make a decent living, but the cost of that is too high. I am a wife and a mom, and that is what I was born to be. I know that God put me here for them. I also know that it is time to return to the work force. We have made it work with Brandon's income and for that I am so thankful. But getting ahead and getting to really enjoy it has not been the case. Time is slipping away from us, and I want to be able to make memories that will cross into the stories that my grandchildren hear from my children.
God and family that is my why! I want to be the best mom. I want to be the best Catholic. I want to be the best wife. I want to be the best friend. I want to the best cousin, aunt, sister, etc. I want people to hear my name and associate it with happiness, with success, with a smile. I am sure that it sounds cheesy, but it is my why.
I do not like to tell my children no, I know that they need to hear it and that is fine. But telling them no because we do not have the money does not have to be the case. I want to be able to buy them the new clothes, take them on the vacations, get the extra gift at Christmas or just because they are spectacular.
My why, is because I can. My three men....Brandon, Danny and John Michael are my why! So when you need a realtor or your friend needs a realtor. Send them to me. Send them to me because my why will drive me to sell their home, or to find them a home, or whatever they need. I will find their why and make their dreams come true!
I will be the best and I will do it for my boys, and for all of you!
