Home for Christmas -
Wherever Home May Be
Sometimes home is not only where the heart is but sometimes it’s just
where you hang your hat! I’ve hung my
hat in lots of places and called a lot of them home…but not all of them have
been home. This last year, we have been
home because Murphy is where I was born and raised. While we’ve been living
here, I’ve had the privilege and honor to work with some very special
people. But my time with them has come to
an end and I’ll be moving on to the next place – a place where I’ll hang my hat
and hopefully, a place that I’ll call HOME!
I just want to say a few words to
those special people, (and a little bit about them) ...the people that I consider MY TRIBE- the people that have welcomed me
in and made me feel like I was home. First, let me tell you about Mick and Jane Goebel-
Working for Mick and Jane Goebel of The Goebel Team at Carolina
Mountain Homes in Murphy, NC has been quiet the experience! I never saw myself working in the real estate
business before and really had no plans to ever venture into that field. But like so many other things in life, we
don’t always get to choose what we do or where we work, or even where we live,
for that matter. My husband and I have
had a lot of adventures over the last 30 years and moving back to our hometown
of Murphy has been one of them. When we
moved back here two years ago, I agreed to help out a family friend, Mrs. Joan
Posey-Neumann, Owner of Carolina Mountain Homes. In doing so, I have made some of the most
awesome friends! Two of those friends
are my current bosses, Mick and Jane Goebel.
They are two of the kindest, loving, and most respected people I
know! They love their jobs as Realtor’s
and it shows! They are great at what
they do; just ask anyone who’s ever worked with them. In fact, you can read what their clients have
to say about them here. But they went
above and beyond just doing their jobs when they hired me as their assistant.
They have taught me so much! I have
enjoyed working in their office and spending time with them both on duty and
off! We have enjoyed hanging out
together, going to ballgames together, having dinner with each other, and just
building a relationship in general.
As it happens so often, new job opportunities come a long and before
you know it, it’s time to move on. That
seems to be the case for me as my husband and I have been offered positions
elsewhere and now have to say good-bye to some very dear friends. As I have said, Mick and Jane are pretty
incredible people and they have agreed to let me stay on as their virtual
assistant –at least for a while. So for
now, I will be writing blogs and doing various other real estate related work
from afar! I am so very grateful to them
and to Joan for putting their faith and trust in me. I want to thank them for all they have done
and all they have taught me. It has
truly been my pleasure to work for two of the nicest people on the planet! Thank you Mick and Jane, for everything! You’ve been, and are, a true blessing to me
and I look forward to our future together, however that may look!
And finally, to Joan, Michelle, Paula, Kelly, Leslie, Cindy, Bonnie and
Suzi: my dear friends, you have made
life FUN! Your zest for life, your
enthusiasm, your infectious laughter, your love of your job and clients, has
all made my life better, happier, fuller. Thank you for
all you’ve taught me. I know you will
continue to do great things, in real estate and in the Murphy, NC area. Take care my friends and I hope to see you
soon!
This holiday season, may we each be HOME for the Holiday's
whether we call it home or it’s just where we hang our
HATS!
Merry Christmas!!
