A week ago, out of the blue, I received an email from my former Park City neighbor and fellow real estate agent. In fact, Tom was my Realtor. In the email, I learned that my god-daughter has been struggling with anorexia for some time.

Even though I have good friends that have struggled with eating disorders in their youth, the news from Utah hit me hard. Geneen Roth is a friend and I recommend her work to anyone struggling with emotional or compulsive eating disorders.

Even so, a twelve-year old? Situations like this remind me how vulnerable and precious we are all.

We, The Harper-Mees Team, have been facing some challenges with all of the recent challenges in the housing market. And we have been challenged to help others who are facing tough times with the possibility of losing their homes.

At times, I feel overwhelmed with situations that seem out of my control. It’s at times like this that I realize – I can only do my best, be who I am, be there for others the best I can and open myself to the help and prayers of others.

Sometimes being human confronts us with just that – being human.
