La Toya Burns is a former inspirational rap recording artist, writer, motivational speaker, Texas Realtor, entrepreneur, and the creator of Relationships Are Like Real Estate.
Relationships Are Like Real Estate (R.A.L.R.E) juxtaposes the basic components of a structural building to that of a relationship, bridging the similarities that can hold both together or tear them apart.
“R.A.L.R.E was birthed out of my once two BIGGEST disappointments – Real Estate and Relationships – at a time when neither were serving me well. I often humored myself by jokingly comparing the two in the most uncharted way in order to laugh to keep from crying at the heartache that both were causing me. Amazed by the similarities, I started analyzing their components – what makes them solid. what makes them raggedy as sh*t. when to rebuild or when to walk away. Doing this, not only gave me a fresh perspective of how to navigate in both worlds, but it exposed my own foundational cracks that left me insecure and often in distress. And what I realized is that No Structure is without flaws. Whether it’s brick and mortar or flesh and bone, in order to withstand the turbulence of life there will come a time when both will require a little TLC.’’
“Healing, Hope and Empowerment, lies within the strength of our own walls. Some cracks are inevitable, but a foundation built on anything less than a solid rock will never stand. R.A.L.R.E is a platform for broken foundations of the heart. the distress of the mind. and rebuilding of the soul.’’
Welcome to my home! Sit back. Relax. Stay awhile. It’s time to heal and rebuild brick by brick. ?
