Year 18 at the Long Beach Half, and I almost sat this one out.
I’ve run it every year since 2007. Then I tore my meniscus in July, and three weeks ago I had foot surgery. That’s 10+ weeks without a single run.
This week I wore closed-toe shoes for the first time in forever and tried a short run/walk. It was… okayyy. …

Nope — but you need to know your actual options. There are three: Power of
Attorney (doesn't work if it's in a trust, and has to be set up in advance),
signing at a U.S. embassy (book it early, appointments take weeks), or a RON

Buster handles landscaping review (very thorough, very committed to that palm
tree). Cashew does appliance due diligence — she doesn't miss anything,
including the dishwasher. I just sign the paperwork.

Caught in the act. 📱
This is what a listing photoshoot really looks like. I'm answering texts, checking details, and keeping things moving while the camera does its thing. My go-to photographer, @shotbysamghazi snapped this when I wasn't looking, and honestly, it might be my favorite photo of me at work. It's just *me…

We are currently at YEAR FOUR. This project has outlasted some marriages, most
New Year's resolutions, and at least two of my houseplants. 🪴☠️

Year 18 at the Long Beach Half, and I almost sat this one out.
I’ve run it every year since 2007. Then I tore my meniscus in July, and three weeks ago I had foot surgery. That’s 10+ weeks without a single run.
This week I wore closed-toe shoes for the first time in forever and tried a short run/walk. It was… okayyy. Skipping this year felt like the obvious call.
I didn’t want to quit, so I’m resetting instead. On Sunday I’ll walk, maybe mix in some run intervals, and enjoy being part of the race instead of racing it.
I give buyers and sellers the same advice. You can’t control the market, but you can control how you respond to it. Adjusting your price, your timeline, your search area or your terms isn’t giving up. It’s how you still make it to the finish line.
If your plans have stalled, DM me “RESET” and we’ll map out a new game plan. 💛
What’s something you reset this year instead of quitting? Tell me below 👇

Buster believes throw pillows belong on the floor. Cashew believes the cookies are for her. Both believe the front door requires a full security check before any buyer arrives.
But the second that doorbell rings? Perfect posture. Total professionals. Absolutely no memory of the pillow incident.
Real estate is like this more often than people think. Behind every smooth, polished showing there's a little chaos someone quietly cleaned up first. That's my job for my sellers across Long Beach, the South Bay, greater LA, and Orange County, and I've been doing it for 12 years, with more than 600 closed transactions and a RealTrends Verified ranking in the top 1.5% of agents nationwide.
Quick poll: are you a Buster (rearranges everything) or a Cashew (just here for the snacks)? Comment below! 👇

Sam, thank you for always seeing the beauty in every home and apparently in a busy Wednesday too. 🙌 If you want your home to look its absolute best, he's the one to call.

Two things to check before posting:
1. **Sam's Instagram handle.** Drop it in so the tag actually reaches him.
2. **Sunday at 1:30.** Is that when the listing goes live, or an open house? If it's an open house, I'd change that line to: *"Open house this Sunday at 1:30 PM. Come see it first!"* Please also add the end time.
If you share a few details like beds, baths, and a standout feature, I can add a teaser line about the home itself.

We are currently at YEAR FOUR. This project has outlasted some marriages, most
New Year's resolutions, and at least two of my houseplants. 🪴☠️
BUT. Plot twist. Colorado Street is actually paved now. Like, done-done. The
park already reopened in July. Trails and landscaping wrap this month, and by
October we might — MIGHT — actually be looking at the finish line.
I'll believe it when I see the ribbon cutting. 😂
Drop a 😩 if you've made at least one "is this ever getting done" joke about this
project. I'll wait.
