From Real Estate Snapshot to Coastal Connect: How This Newsletter Evolved

When I first created this newsletter, my intention was to give clients—especially those from out of the area—a quick snapshot of what’s happening on the Monterey Peninsula. Now, as I dive deeper into local events, small business highlights, and seasonal shifts in our real estate market, I’ve realized something important: this content is just as valuable—if not more so—for those who live right here in our community.

This is the second edition of the newsletter, and already, it’s taken on a new life. What started as a tool for clients has grown into something more personal and connected. It inspired the idea for Coastal Connect—a way to celebrate everything the Peninsula has to offer while bringing together like-minded women who want to enjoy, explore, and support our local lifestyle.

There’s something special about sharing the beauty of our area with others who appreciate it just as much. Whether it's discovering a hidden hike, spotlighting a local artist, or just knowing where to grab the best coffee this weekend, Coastal Connect is about building community and making the most of where we live.

Thanks for being part of it—there’s so much more to come!
