Somehow I have no words and too many words to express the feelings I have surrounding this home sale. 

I met my client in 2013 or 2014 during an earlier incarnation of my life as a yoga teacher. She attended classes regularly at the wonderful South Mountain Yoga and I got to know her capacity to commit to her practice, her intelligence approaching both the physical and mental aspects of it, and the heart that brought her to her mat through incredibly challenging times.

Life happened in both major and minor ways since the day she invited me over to her home when she first considered selling in 2015; the home she moved into in 1997 as a young mother with her husband and new baby. 

But the time wasn’t right to sell back in 2015, or the years following. Over those years she tended to her home with great intention, both for herself and for the future owners. She kept in regular contact with me, providing updates on whichever home project she was enmeshed in. One time we met at a cafe and cried about the loss in our lives.

Come 2026, she was ready to move on to her next chapter in Brooklyn; reversing the path that so many tread. 

Here’s the part where I have no words. I’ll just leave space.

I look forward to visiting her in her new home, having dinner together, reminiscing, laughing at bygone obstacles, and toasting the broad scope of life.

A toast to a closed home sale and a major transition. 

In contemplation of the term “home sale transaction” as it relates to real estate, the transaction aspect is a vessel that holds everything on the literal and figurative inside. Home sales and purchases contain, in their energetic nature, the actual threads of the actual fabric of life. From one phase or era to the next.

This is not to diminish the gravity of financial aspects and outcomes. Much of the time a transaction’s results make a more than significant imprint on the finances of those involved.
 
But unless the purchase or sale is for investment purposes only, the financial aspect is not the entirety of what the sale or purchase holds.

So the clink of these two espresso martinis, gentle as it was, resounded in the ether of those involved, and I heard and felt it with them. I wish these individuals all the best moving forward in their new chapters.

Good Lord, Mies van der Rohe had it right when he said, “God is in the details.”

This spectacular home, listed by , fully halted my otherwise businesslike pace while making the rounds at broker open houses.

Standing in the oversized entry hall, taking in the surroundings above, around, and beneath my feet, I was mesmerized by the home’s character, architectural detail, design, grace, and the clear reverence for preservation that continued throughout.

Walking through 330 Hartford in South Orange reminded me that human beings make beautiful things. Thank you to the sellers for the inspiring experience.

A kind client note and a small drawing.

Before real estate, I spent many years making art (which I still do). This background instilled in me, on many levels, the importance of looking closely at composition, proportion, and detail, and of employing perspective.

The skill of observation has stayed with me, and it continues to shape the way I look at homes today.

Helping someone find their home in the Princeton area is always meaningful work. Notes like this make it especially so.

In the Northeast today, fireplaces are beckoning. 

Here are some favorites from past listings that exemplify a range of stylistic fire-framing possibilities, paying homage to the beloved home feature that offers both literal and figurative warmth, invites contemplation, and anchors a space in just such a way.

…And now get off your phone and go stare at your fireplace!

2026 sounds like a year I want to get to know better. Fortunately, it’s inevitable!

In consideration of the threshold we just crossed, and the attempts we make to summarize and encapsulate the past 365 days, consider how much there is to reflect upon in a given year, should we wish to. Those moments beyond and between the defining events.

I think, as a human being, that reflection is the channel through which we can experience reverence. It’s certainly the gift that allows us to move forward with intention.

May we move into 2026 with the wisdom, knowledge, and awareness granted to us by the past year. And with the ability to infuse that forward movement with not only clarity and purpose, but wonder, joy, love and spirit.

Happy 2026!!
