GOOD NEWS TIME!!!🎉🎉

Hi Friends,

As we settle into the heart of the Christmas season, I wanted to step away from the usual business updates and use this space for something very close to my heart.

This time of year is such a beautiful season for reflection, and as I look back on 2025, I am overwhelmed with gratitude for you.

To my incredible clients, my dear friends, and my supportive family, thank you for standing by me, trusting me, and cheering me on every step of the way.

You have turned a busy year into a truly blessed one.

Amidst the rush of the holidays, don't forget to "be" instead of just "do." Take a quiet moment to breathe and appreciate the people who make your world bright. Joy is a gift that truly multiplies when we share it.

Thank you for being such a vital part of my journey. I am so lucky to have you in my circle and I wish you a Christmas filled with love and warmth.

A Special Note of Gratitude for This Week’s Birthdays

This week is a truly special one for me, and I wanted to take a moment to pause and celebrate the incredible lives of those who make my world and my work possible.

We are celebrating a "Powerhouse" lineup of birthdays this week, and I am so grateful to have each of them in my circle:

• Lawrence: My amazing husband, whose support is my foundation.

• Ms. Hazel Vice, Chiquita Reeves, and Tiffany Wells: Three phenomenal women and clients whom I am honored to serve and celebrate.

• Lisseth: My amazing assistant, who keeps everything moving with grace.

In the midst of these personal milestones, we are also entering the holiday season where we commemorate the birth of Jesus. While we know this may not be the literal date of his birth, we embrace this season as a beautiful opportunity to be collectively grateful for His life, His message, and the spirit of hope he brings to the world.✨🙌🏾

To Lawrence, Hazel, Chiquita, Tiffany, and Lisseth may this year be your most abundant one yet. And to all of you, thank you for being part of this journey with me.

The 2026 Roth Catch-Up Rule: A Guide for High Earners

If you earn over $150,000, your 2026 tax bill might be higher than you planned. A new IRS mandate is officially ending the pre-tax "catch-up" as we know it, forcing high earners over 50 to pivot their retirement strategy or lose the ability to contribute extra altogether.

America’s Most Affordable Small Towns in 2026

You don’t have to sacrifice culture for a lower cost of living. While big-city rents continue to climb, a handful of American small towns are quietly thriving with $150K homes, vibrant Main Streets, and booming local economies. We’ve crunched the numbers to find the 15 spots where you can still buy a home, start a business, and live well for less.
