"As the year comes to a close, I’ve been reflecting on my journey —celebrating wins, embracing lessons, and cherishing the support I’ve received along the way. Gratitude has been my compass through challenges, and I’d like to share a few moments that shaped my year." Stepping Outside My Comfort Zone: In this year, I made the bold decision to relocate. It was difficult, but it taught me that growth lies in taking risks. Taking that leap helped me discover resilience I didn’t know I had. Focusing on Personal Growth: For the first time, I prioritized giving myself the time and space to recharge. Whether it was taking up fitness ,mindfulness practices these moments of self-care became a powerful reminder that we can’t pour from an empty cup. Revisiting My Career Path: This year, I hit pause to evaluate where I wanted to go professionally. I identified areas for improvement, invested time in learning new skills and redefined what success looks like for me. Growth isn’t just about moving forward—it’s about recalibrating when needed. Embracing Purposeful Decisions: Life often puts us at crossroads, especially as women navigating different roles and responsibilities. While our choices may lead us on unique paths, one thing remains constant: the drive to make an impact. Even when not actively working in an organization, I’ve stayed focused on contributing meaningfully—whether through community work, mentoring, or upskilling—to better myself and those around me. Learning from New Perspectives: Engaging with people from diverse walks of life broadened my horizons and gave me fresh insights. It reminded me that collaboration and openness to others’ experiences are key to both personal and professional growth. Overcoming Setbacks: There were moments I doubted myself—missed opportunities, uncertain decisions, and ideas that didn’t take off. But every setback fueled my drive to keep going, adapt, and come back stronger. Reflecting on these experiences, I’m reminded of the importance of gratitude—not just for the wins but for the lessons and the people who made this year meaningful. Every challenge shaped me into a stronger, more focused, and more empathetic individual. As we step into a new year, I’d love to hear from you: What are you most grateful for in 2024? Let’s celebrate the wins—big or small wins #GrowthMindset #CareerJourney #LifeLessons #GratitudeMatters

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐆𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐞: 𝐀 𝐑𝐞𝐟𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐧 𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐭𝐡 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐏𝐨𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 As we approach the end of the year, I find myself reflecting on the transformative journey I’ve been on—losing my job after a 17-year corporate career to building a business in real estate while balancing life as a single mom of three. None of it has been easy, but every challenge has deepened my gratitude for the lessons learned and the incredible people who have supported me along the way. Gratitude has been a cornerstone in both my personal and professional growth. It keeps me grounded in the present, focused on what truly matters, and inspired to pursue big goals. Whether I’m exploring a new industrial flex space opportunity or spending time with my kids during all their school activities, gratitude reminds me that even the smallest victories deserve to be celebrated. This year, I’m especially grateful for: • The courage to start something new, despite uncertainty. • My family, who are my greatest cheerleaders and the reason I work so hard to create a flexible, fulfilling life. • The mentors and partners who’ve shared their knowledge, pushing me to grow in ways I never imagined. • The chance to connect with people who are curious about real estate investing and help them see the opportunities it offers. For anyone reading this, I encourage you to take a moment to reflect on what you’re grateful for. Gratitude has a way of shifting our mindset from what’s missing to what’s possible. And when we focus on possibility, doors we never saw before begin to open. What are you grateful for this year? I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments. Let’s inspire each other to close this year with gratitude and step into the new one with purpose and possibility. #Gratitude #Reflection #Growth #RealEstateInvesting

Dear Colleagues/Friends/Business Partners and fellow Global Citizens, As we reach the close of another year, I want to take a moment to reflect on the journey we've shared together and look forward to what lies ahead. This year has been full of challenges, opportunities, growth, and transformation. We’ve faced hurdles, adapted to change, and celebrated wins—both big and small. Through it all, each of you has contributed to our collective success, bringing your skills, determination, and resilience to the table. I want to pause and recognize that hard work and dedication. You’ve made an impact, and I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve accomplished as a team. But, as we look to the future, it’s important to remember: the end of the year isn’t just a time for reflection, it’s also a time for renewal. It's a time to take what we've learned, understand what we’ve achieved, and ask ourselves, “What’s next?” Here’s the thing—success is not an endpoint. It’s a journey. And every year is an opportunity to push the boundaries of what we thought was possible. Yes, there were challenges this year, but let’s not just focus on what didn’t go as planned. Let’s focus on what we can control: our response to setbacks, our ability to innovate, and our unyielding pursuit of excellence. The road ahead will undoubtedly have its own set of challenges. We know that. But challenges are simply opportunities in disguise. They’re the moments when we get to show who we truly are—when we prove that we are capable of more than we ever thought possible. As we head into the new year, let’s commit to continuing the work we’ve started. Let’s embrace change with open arms and a mindset that says, "I am ready. I am capable. I am relentless." Think about what you want to achieve—not just for yourself, but for the team, for the organization, and for the impact we can create in the world. Each of us brings a unique talent, perspective, and drive to the table. When we come together with shared purpose and vision, there’s nothing we can’t accomplish. So, as we turn the page on this year, let’s not just leave behind our accomplishments, but also our doubts, our fears, and our hesitations. Let’s step forward with confidence, knowing that we are not defined by past challenges, but by the relentless pursuit of what’s next. Thank you for everything you’ve done this year. I’m excited for the road ahead and the incredible things we will achieve together. Here’s to a new year full of growth, success, and opportunities! Let’s make it our best one yet

The day I stopped viewing my life through the misaligned lens of American capitalism is the day I freed myself to pursue what sets my soul on fire. Don’t get me wrong. I’m all about my money and my businesses. And I’m also about my family, my health, my experiences, my clients, my legacy, my mental health, my hobbies, and my community. I attract aligned opportunities daily because I’ve gotten clear on what alignment looks like for me. Here are some journal questions to help guide this very personal and intimate conversation that’s long overdue between you and you. 1. What are my core values? 2. What brings me joy and fulfillment? 3. Am I pursuing goals for myself or to meet others’ expectations? 4. What are my strengths and passions? 5. How do I define success in different areas of my life? 6. What are the small wins I can celebrate daily? 7. How do I handle failure and setbacks? 8. What legacy do I want to leave? 9. What would I pursue if money and fear were not obstacles? 10. Who inspires me and why? 11. Am I prioritizing my well-being? 12. What do I want my day-to-day life to look like? 13. How do I define achievement and progress? 14. Am I measuring my success by societal standards or my own? 15. What am I grateful for right now?

5 Years in Business: A Journey of Growth, Resilience, and Gratitude Reaching this 5-year milestone feels surreal. It’s been a journey full of highs and lows, victories and challenges. But looking back, I can honestly say that every single moment has been worth it. Five years ago, I was a different person—driven, yes, but unaware of the depth of resilience, hard work, and adaptability this path would demand. I’ve grown in ways I never imagined. I’ve learned that true strength isn’t about never falling; it’s about getting up every time you do. It’s about embracing change, learning from it, and continuing to move forward. But if there’s one lesson that stands above all, it’s the importance of the people you surround yourself with. The support of my team, the trust of our customers, and the collaboration with our suppliers have been the backbone of this journey. They’ve been the ones keeping me grounded, focused, and, most importantly, sane. I am deeply grateful for each of you. Your belief in this vision has been the fuel that kept us going, even when the road was tough. As we celebrate this milestone, I know we’re just getting started. With the right team by my side, the future looks incredibly bright. Watch this space—because we’re ready to soar higher than ever before. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for being part of this journey.

As the Year Draws to a Close... With just a few days left in the year, it’s a perfect time to pause and reflect on the journey we’ve all been through. Soon, we’ll step into a new year—a fresh chapter in the ever-continuing process of growth, challenges, and opportunities. But before we dive into the new beginnings, let’s take a moment to express heartfelt gratitude to the people who made this year not only bearable but also meaningful—our amazing office buddies and colleagues. Work can be demanding, deadlines relentless, and challenges inevitable, but having a supportive team makes all the difference. Whether it was through a quick laugh during a tough day, brainstorming ideas late into the evening, or simply being there to share a cup of coffee and listen, each one of you contributed to making this year a little brighter. Thank you for turning challenges into opportunities and for reminding us that success is never just about individual efforts but about collective strength. Because of you, we didn’t just survive—we thrived. As we gear up for another year, let’s carry forward the lessons we’ve learned, the memories we’ve shared, and the bonds we’ve built. Here’s to new goals, greater achievements, and many more moments of laughter and collaboration in the year ahead. #office #colleagues #Buddies #growth #challenges #opportunities #gratitude #strength #goals #memories #BecauseSheCan

As the year winds down, I reflect on everything it has brought—the wins, challenges, and lessons. This year hasn’t been without its bumps in the road, but I’m reminded that growth often happens in those uncertain, uncomfortable moments. Each challenge pushed me to rethink, adapt, and, most importantly, keep moving forward. I’m deeply grateful for the opportunities I’ve had, the people who’ve supported me, and the moments of clarity that emerged when things seemed most uncertain. Gratitude doesn’t just come from the highs—it comes from recognizing the value of the trek every step of the way. Looking ahead, I’m optimistic about the future. There’s still so much to build, learn, and contribute. The path forward might not always be smooth, but it’s always worth taking. To those who’ve been part of my challenging year, thank you. Here’s to a bright future and embracing whatever comes next. How has this year shaped you? I’d love to hear your reflections as we move toward a new chapter. #Gratitude #Growth #Optimism #Reflection

In the fast-paced world of business, it's easy to focus on what we lack rather than what we have. Yet, I’ve found that gratitude is the real key to success 🏆. Recognizing the hard work of your team, appreciating every learning opportunity, and being thankful for each challenge makes the journey rewarding. I challenge my network to reflect on what you're grateful for this week – could it be the spark that changes your professional outlook? #LeadershipWithGratitude #MindfulManagement

In my career, I’ve often found that it’s not always the big wins but the small moments of connection, growth, and learning that leave a lasting impact. I remember a time early on when a seemingly minor conversation with a cherished mentor gave me a new perspective on leadership that’s shaped my journey ever since. He asked me what I needed from the company to achieve balance as a young mother taking care of two small children and aging parents with health issues. Moments like these remind me how much there is to be thankful for in business and life. In that spirit, I wanted to take a step back and reflect on what I’m grateful for from A to Z. A – Adaptability in ever-changing circumstances and environments. B – Building meaningful relationships with clients, mentors, and peers. C – Collaborative partnerships with suppliers and colleagues. D – Daily opportunities to grow as a supply chain and procurement leader. E – Encouragement from family and friends. F – Faith in God that grounds and guides everything I do. G – Gratitude for every lesson learned, big or small. H – Health that allows me to pursue my passions. I – Insightful conversations that spark new ideas. J – Joy found in simple daily routines. K – Kindness from others, even in small gestures. L – Leadership opportunities to inspire and impact others. M – Mentorship that’s shaped my personal and professional journey. N – New challenges that bring growth. O – Opportunities to collaborate with diverse clients and teams. P – Patience learned through experiences, both good and difficult. Q – Quiet moments of reflection and prayer. R – Resilience to navigate uncertainty and setbacks. S – Support from loved ones, friends, and colleagues. T – Time spent with loved ones and cherished friends. U – Understanding that comes from deep conversations and teamwork. V – Vision to see possibilities and innovate in supply chain and leadership. W – Wisdom gained from past experiences. X – ‘X-factors’ in my life—those unexpected blessings that shape me. Y – Yearning to keep learning and improving. Z – Zeal for life, career, and making a positive impact. What are those small moments of connection that have shaped your life journey?

As we approach the close of another year, it’s natural to focus on setting new goals, drafting resolutions, and dreaming of the possibilities that lie ahead. But before we leap forward, there’s immense value in pausing to reflect. Reflection is more than a moment of nostalgia—it’s an opportunity to look back with intention, to celebrate wins, acknowledge challenges, and extract lessons that shape our growth. This year, like every other, has been a mix of highs and lows. Perhaps you reached milestones you once thought were out of reach, or maybe you faced obstacles that tested your resilience. Both deserve acknowledgment because they are part of the journey. For me, this year marked a significant career shift as I transitioned into product management, a field I’ve grown to love despite the challenges that came with it. Here are some key questions I’ve been reflecting on as the year winds down: • What did I achieve this year, and what am I most proud of? • What lessons did I learn from the setbacks I experienced? • How have I grown personally and professionally? • What am I grateful for? Reflection provides clarity and direction. It allows us to move into the new year not just with aspirations but with a deeper understanding of who we are and where we’re headed. As you look back on your year, I encourage you to give yourself grace for the moments you stumbled, celebrate the times you soared, and carry forward the lessons that will guide your next chapter. What has this year taught you? I’d love to hear your reflections as we prepare to embrace 2025 together. #Reflection #Growth #EndOfYearThoughts
