The view from here is that friendship isn’t always measured by proximity, frequency or how neatly someone fits into our lives. Sometimes it is measured by history. Sometimes by trust. Sometimes by the miles someone travels to celebrate with us. And sometimes by a perfectly timed act of kindness.Friendships shift. And every now and then, when they do, they become something even more beautiful than we ever expected.   ✨ THE VIEW FROM HERE — Friendships Shift Friendships are funny things. Some begin when we’re young and somehow stretch across more than 50 years, thousands of miles and countless versions of ourselves. Others begin almost incidentally—through a mutual friend, a business relationship or even an online community—and quietly become something far more meaningful than we ever exp...

When someone tells me they are moving to Katy, TX, one of the first things I want them to understand is that the word “Katy” on an address doesn't tell us everything we need to know about a property.That's why one of the phrases I use with relocating buyers is:Investigate the address, not just the house.It's easy to understand why buyers focus on the house first. They see the photos online, find a floor plan they like, start thinking about furniture placement, and imagine themselves living there.But once a particular property becomes a serious possibility, I think the research needs to become much more specific.Two Katy addresses can tell very different storiesKaty is a large area, and a Katy mailing address by itself does not necessarily tell you the property's municipal jurisdiction, ...
