There’s something sacred about turning the page into a new year—especially one that feels like a threshold. For me, 2026 is that threshold. I’m stepping into this year carrying the weight of lessons learned, the aches that shaped me, and the quiet courage God planted deep inside me. And as I approach my 40th year of life, one word keeps rising in my spirit like a banner over everything:

Thrive.

Not survive.
Not manage.
Not push through.
But thrive.

For too long, I’ve lived in seasons where surviving felt like the only option—financial stress tightening its grip, long days that blurred together, responsibilities piling up like waves I could barely outrun. And while God met me in every bit of it—every exhaustion, every prayer whispered through tears—I feel Him calling me into something different this year.

This is the year of thriving.
Spiritually. Emotionally. Financially. Physically. Relationally.
In my calling. In my home. In my heart.

And so, I’m laying my goals before Him—boldly, openly, and expectantly. Not as a checklist to chase, but as an offering. A declaration of faith. A desire to grow into the fullness of who God designed me to be.

Here’s what I’m believing for in 2026:

1. Celebrate my 40th birthday surrounded by family.

To enter a new decade wrapped in love, laughter, and gratitude feels like the perfect beginning. I want to honor life itself—every scar, every miracle, every moment that led me here.

2. Build my real estate organization with systems, procedures, and a structure that can withstand down times.

Because thriving isn’t just about growth—it’s about resilience. I want to create a business that stands steady, even when the market does not. A structure that supports me, my clients, and the agents I lead.

3. Build the foundation for Grace Realty Investment, LLC.

This isn’t just a business. It’s a legacy. A place where stewardship, integrity, and faith meet opportunity.

4. Get completely caught up on my taxes.

Clearing old burdens so new blessings can flow freely. A fresh start—clean, clear, and ready for abundance. 

5. Publish my devotional and release it into the world.

This one feels deeply personal. It’s a seed I’ve carried for years. I’m ready to let it be planted where God chooses. May He place it into the hands and hearts it was meant for.

6. Complete four personal flips under my new LLC.

Learning, stretching, growing—and building something that lasts.

7. Onboard two new agents to eXp Realty.

To mentor, uplift, and watch others rise is one of my greatest joys.

8. Become an expert on local legislation affecting real estate and property rights.

Knowledge is protection—for me, for my clients, and for my community.

9. Make new friendships with like-minded, faith-driven people.

Because thriving is almost impossible without the right people in your circle.

10. Build true financial overflow.

Not just enough. More than enough.
Play money. Purposeful accounts. Space to breathe again.

11. Grow in ministry—From God’s Way Prison Ministry to Sowing Hope

Serving has always been the heartbeat of my life. This year, I want to give with joy, lead with humility, and sow where God asks me to sow.

12. Tithe faithfully 

Trusting God with my first and best.

13. Exceed $5 million in sales volume.

Not for status. For stewardship. For the families I get to serve. For the doors it opens.

14. Bring in more investor clients.

I want to be a steady, trusted partner in their journeys.

15. Strengthen my body.

A stronger me. A healthier me. A more energetic me—ready to run with the vision.

16. Read and listen to more books.

To keep growing, stretching, and renewing my mind and spirit.

17. Build my blog, Heart, Home, and Hustle, into a cherished space.

A place where stories breathe.
Where faith and entrepreneurship meet.
Where people feel seen and encouraged.

18. Travel comfortably and with joy.

Because rest without worry is part of thriving.

19. Buy a new minivan.

A little symbol of stability and God’s provision.

20. Celebrate my family and friends.

Love them loudly. Cherish them intentionally. Make memories worth holding onto.

These aren’t just goals—they’re declarations. Prayers. Invitations.
Because thriving isn’t about perfection or performance. It’s about posture. It’s about showing up. It’s about saying, Lord, here’s what’s in my heart. Do with it what You will.

And I know this: God doesn’t call us to thrive alone. He calls us to thrive in Him.

So here’s to 2026.
To growth. To healing.
To clarity and courage.
To the doors God will open and the ones He’ll lovingly close.
To celebrating life, honoring purpose, and stepping boldly into the next chapter.

Here’s to the year I choose to Thrive!
