A Holiday Message from Kelli
|
|
This is the time of year when many of us look back over the past 12 months' events and, as well, look forward to the new year. For me, the past 18 months have been quite difficult, having experienced the death of my best friend, a cancer diagnosis of another friend, my parents were told they had cancer within 2 days of one another and the suicide of a young girl who had been living with me as a surrogate daughter. In addition, both my beloved dogs suffered serious injuries but thankfully are back to their lively selves.
How does one get through a stretch like this? There were times when I thought it could not get worse...and then it did. There were tears and depression to be sure. But there were triumphs as well. Mom and Dad were both misdiagnosed and are doing amazingly well. My friend with cancer
recovered from surgery and we journeyed to several African countries including Madagascar just 2 months later. And the dogs and I are enjoying the great outdoors once more.
My new mantra is composed of simple things. Share a smile with someone you don't know; live with compassion and kindness; send a friendly text to someone you haven't connected with in a while. Try to maintain a positive attitude. Be thankful for family, friends and associates who support you during trying times.
Speaking of friendly texts, I found strength and solace in the daily encouragement texts from my friend, Clint Hurdle (yes, the baseball guy!). You may also find his daily emails to be helpful and can subscribe at www.clinthurdle.com. May your 2020 be filled with joy, health and happiness and the strength to weather the obstacles along the way.
Happy Holidays to all.
Kelli

Meet My New Team Member Delphine
|
|
Growing up as an avid skier and lover of winter sports (a legacy from her Swiss parents) Delphine moved to Colorado in 2010. Delphine studied International Affairs and French at the University of Colorado at Boulder. In 2013, she moved to Breckenridge and followed in her parents' footsteps by becoming a ski instructor. Delphine knew Colorado would be her new home.
Delphine loves spending time outside with her dogs, Cedar and Sage, mountain biking, and hiking. In 2018, Delphine purchased her first home and made one of her childhood dreams a reality with two horses that she keeps in her backyard. She spends her free time riding her horse, Jane, in the national forest adjacent to her home. When not enjoying the great outdoors, she is getting down and dirty with the endless construction projects in and around her home.
Delphine worked for RE/MAX
Properties of the Summit for 3 years and has transitioned to an assistant role with Kelli on the road to becoming an Associate in the future. She is rapidly learning about the real estate industry and continues to soak up the knowledge passed down from Kelli. We will be working together on your Real Estate needs. Stop by the Breckenridge office to meet Delphine!
