Did you know that today is not only Halloween, but it's also my mother's birthday? Oh, did I mention it's my brother-in-law's birthday, too.

Yep. It is.

​Is that some sort of sign? That we have multiple people in our family born on this day? I've grown up thinking of my mother as a witch (a good witch, of course) because of her birthday and it's always made me feel special that her birthday is today. Then, when I met my husband and found out his brother was also born on this day, I knew it was special. 

If you're not a Formula 1 fan, you probably won't understand my enthusiasm, but this was an event I'd been looking forward to since the end of the season last year. And since we have our very own Formula 1 track here in Austin, Texas - Circuit of the Americas - we knew we had to be part of it. 

While I hadn't seen a Formula 1 race until the end of the season last year, my youngest son and my husband convinced me to sit down and watch the race in Austin on television. I was hooked, but that's not surprising since I'm a huge fan of plenty of sports. For whatever reason, this one keeps me on the edge of my seat. 

After the end of last season, we decided we would look into options to go this year, so we bought our tickets and we waited patiently for the big day to finally arrive. 

I am so excited to announce that Taylor will be coming back to Nicole Edwards Limited. 

As many of you know, Taylor is my daughter. She worked for me a couple of years ago and then she branched out into the "real" world. She got some experience in that realm and she has enjoyed doing what she was doing, but it appears everything has fallen into place for her to take her place in the family business.

And starting Monday, October 8, she'll officially be back! 

For most of this year, I've had a virtual assistant (the fabulous Jenna), but I've come to the conclusion that I need someone in-house, so to speak. I've learned over the years that having an assistant is imperative in this business, mainly because I want to spend as much time writing as I possibly can and there are so many other things necessary to keep the business running smoothly. Bringing Taylor back onboard is the most logical in my opinion.

As for my hubby, he's going to go full-throttle in the real estate world. While he's been dabbling a bit these past couple of years, I have continued to draw him back into my world because I always need more help. With Taylor here, that will allow Steven to move into real estate full-time. (If you're in Texas, give him a ring.)

I hope you will all welcome Taylor back into the fold. You'll be seeing quite a bit of her on social media, etc, but she will also be managing all of Nicole Edwards Limited as well as the hubby's business as needed.
