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.
This isn't just a poetic metaphor. 

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. This recognition, made possible by all of you who voted, feels like a beautiful dream. It's even more special to share this honor alongside so many other incredible local businesses and individuals who were recognized for their excellence.

Market Insights: The 2025 Landscape

On the real estate front, we're seeing encouraging movement as more listings begin to enter the market. However, it's important to note that interest rates continue to show volatility, and annual projections suggest we shouldn't expect significant decreases in the near future.

I'm thrilled to invite you to a special ART.SIP.NETWORK event I'm hosting at OHHO Irvington on January 30th from 7-9 PM. This evening promises to be a delightful blend of creativity and community, featuring:

Remember, like the stars we're made from, we each have our own light to share. Let's make 2025 a year of shining bright together.
