Opportunities Abound...

I will be following up and making call backs slower than usual over the next 10 days as an opportunity has presented itself to me and it's not optional, by any means.

Most of my clients are aware that 2 years ago I was planning to relocate into a newly constructed studio. You may even remember the excitement!

Unfortunately, there were licensing, building codes, building inspections, and occupancy issues that were out of my control and never completely resolved. There are two sides to every story and I do not want to put a dent into any part of my case so, I will refrain from disclosing any details at this time.

Over the past 2 years since this all began, it has been a challenging time for me. I have tried to keep up and sometimes I've tried to jump ahead. Usually, I'm trailing somewhere in the rear view. However, I've decided that I would use a positive-thinking approach and view this as an opportunity of a lifetime. I have the unbelievable opportunity of representing myself in a trial. Yes, after all this time, this case is going to trial, my friends!

I will represent myself against the owner/lessor of this property. They are an LLC comprised of an architect, a home builder, and a real estate attorney. Additionally, they are being represented by an attorney.

I am fully aware that I could lose but, let me just say, it won't happen quietly. I am far too competitive and retentive to allow this to just happen to me. Remember, I don't believe that things happen for a reason so I won't just sit back and let them. I will take my position and make them all aware of it.

There was a day when I was under-estimated, under-valued, under-appreciated and the sun has set on that day. Regardless of the outcome of this trial, I will prevail knowing that I will no longer under-estimate my abilities, I will realize that I am invaluable, and I will appreciate my tolerance threshold of the negative people and circumstances in my life.

So, now that I've put it out there, I appreciate any patience and understanding that you can lend me during this time.
