Yes. I can relate. 😊

Speaking at two separate conferences this week has been a blast and I loved every minute of it. Work is never work when you love what you do. ❤️

See you soon, Indiana!

It’s not Olive Garden, but the Kansas Housing Resources Corp. conference staff & attendees sure made me feel like family! I had a fantastic time speaking at their conference this week. Hearing attendees say they’d sign up for any class with my name on it truly made my day.

I had an amazing day discussing VAWA and HOTMA with the incredible team at Fairway Management! It was also such a pleasure sharing the stage with the amazing Debbie Phillips, Ph.D., CPM — she’s truly inspiring.
