We Are All Stars: A New Year of Shining Bright

As we step into 2025, there's an undeniable weight in the air. Many of us are feeling the heaviness of recent events and carrying anxiety about what the future holds. But in these moments of uncertainty, I was recently reminded of something extraordinary: we are all made of stardust.

As Dr. Derek Suite brilliantly explains in his podcast, the very elements that make up our bodies are the same ones that formed the stars. 

When life feels messy or overwhelming, remember this cosmic truth – you were literally created from stardust, meant to shine in your own unique way.

A Moment to Sparkle

Speaking of shining, I'm humbled and overjoyed to share some personal news that has made my own light glow a bit brighter. Connect to Northern Westchester Magazine (my absolute favorite publication!) has named me the Best in Northern Westchester for Real Estate.

It's even more special to share this honor alongside so many other incredible local businesses and individuals who were recognized for their excellence.

You're not buying a house. You're buying a location. You can renovate a kitchen in a weekend. You can repaint every room, replace the floors, and knock down walls. But you can't change your zip code. You can't relocate the grocery store or redesign the downtown or choose different neighbors.
