As you may know, in December, I take off the ENTIRE MONTH! My first year doing that was 2021. Since it was life changing, I decided to keep it going! 

I got inspired to do this from another entrepreneur I follow on IG named Jenna Kutcher!

I heard about her taking a month’s sabbatical every year, and she described how her family benefited from the time to rest and reset! Check out this video where I explain why my family and I decided to start doing this, too!

Some people have asked me what I plan to do during my time off. I have some things in mind (which I’ll get to in a second), but first I want to say that my intention for this time is to be spontaneous!

If you’ve been following me for a while, you know that I usually have a strict plan. But this year, I don’t.

In December, I am anti-planning! All of us need breaks from our daily to-do lists and checking off goals.

Trust me, as someone who loves the work that I do, I have to be intentional about slowing down and scheduling breaks!

In case you forgot, I’m here to remind you that there is value in resting!

Okay, so without further ado, here’s how I  spent my month off!

  • I went to Napa with some friends
    ​
  • My family and I spent a week at our cabin!

We love going during this time of year. We unwind, rest, and connect with each other! It’s also the place where the boys can go and just be boys!

And that’s it!!

Outside of those things, I SLEPT and took naps whenever, read some books, watched TV and movies, and did some hiking. I was fully in self care mode until January!!

When I say that real estate has allowed me to create the life I want to live…this is what I mean!!
