Growth is in the Air I woke up this morning to my monstera deliciosa unfurling a new leaf and it made me reflect on the unexpected but welcomed growth of my team over the past year. Much like watching a plant sprout, with a bit of work and attention, I have also watched Coordinate Properties continue to grow and flourish. This year we have brought on Mia, our newest broker, expanded our portfolio, and have record high occupancy rates for all clients.  Having spent most of the last year with my head down busy with work, this morning caused me to pause and consider the organic growth that we achieved. Coordinate Properties' emphasis on investing in people and relationships, coupled with active gratitude and hard work, have developed the business in new and exciting ways.  Looking forward and setting new goals, including expanding our property owner relationships and developing community recognition as we continue to grow as a business. The funny thing about growing plants, much like our business, is that growth occurs in spurts. When we are caught up in the moment and buried in work, we can fail to appreciate the new life that we have helped foster.  Meet Mariah Fair; an author, blogger, public speaker, avid reader, and mental health advocate. Having struggled with depression basically all her life, her existence changed for the better when she opened a book. Recognizing the wisdom found in books, she decided to share this revelation with the world, beginning with her home town Chicago. Having experienced firsthand the power of a good book and a healthy environment in maintaining her own mental health, she is starting her mental health book lounge, Soul Full Chicago. Soul Full is built to be a place you can come to read, learn, and grow your mind. Fostering an environment aimed at promoting healing and growth, Soul Full invite their patrons to come inside and learn about themselves. Enjoy a cup of coffee, a smoothie, or some home cooked comfort food. Soul Full is a book lounge where souls can come to reflect and connect, exploring their thoughts without feeling held back.    Opening this fall in Pilsen at 1508 w 18th Street -  Come join them for some mutual soul healing! 1235 W Belmont, Chicago, IL 60657 The block at 1200 W.
