 LEAPS OF FAITH
 By Karen Angelo
 Communications Manager

 One of my favorite movies is Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, primarily because I love the story
 of King Arthur, the Knights of the Roundtable, and the quest for the Holy Grail. My absolute favorite
 scene is when Indiana Jones must take a “leap of faith” to get from one side of the canyon to the
 other to get the Holy Grail. Indy must believe he can cross the invisible bridge even though he cannot
 see the path.
 Arthurian legend aside, the movie is an excellent rumination on the planning that goes into a quest,
 the leaps of faith taken along the way, and how “success” is defined at the quest’s end. We have all
 been on some kind of quest at some point in our lives and taken various leaps of faith to get where
 we need to be; this issue celebrates the various Holy Grails we have sought along the way.
 Our cover story is the first of a series of articles about two Estrella residents who are about to
 embark on the adventure of a lifetime. Micki Jerry and Pat Matusiak are currently planning and
 training to hike the Arizona National Scenic Trail, which stretches 800(!) diverse miles across Arizona
 from Mexico to Utah. In their two-month trek, Micki and Pat will experience an average elevation
 gain of more than 113,000 feet as they hike across deserts, mountains, canyons, and forests. In one
 day, they may experience both snow-covered mountains and 90-degree heat. They take their first
 leap of faith in March of 2022, but you can begin reading more about their quest and these two
 dynamic women on page 12.
 Many of our homeowners take entirely different leaps of faith in Estrella as they consider changes
 and upgrades they would like to make to their homes. Getting ready to embark upon this particular
 quest? Turn to page 10! Design Review Coordinator Amy Brown provides some very helpful
 information on what is needed to begin the process of creating the Holy Grail of the perfect home.
 Perhaps no bigger leap of faith exists than the one where the parenting journey begins. While
 this quest lasts a lifetime, we do feature a very special pit-stop this month with our Photo Essay
 celebrating fathers on page 14. From the poems, essays, and drawings submitted by Estrella kids
 about why their dads are the best in the world, it would seem as if the Holy Grail of being an amazing
 father is firmly within their grasp.

My savvy clients KNOW their homes will sell in this market.
 They list their homes with me because they want MORE!
 My listings appear on 1,300+ websites around the world bringing MORE prospective buyers.
 My quality marketing materials lend MORE value to my client’s homes in the eyes of prospective buyers.
 Partnering with my husband, an appraiser of 15+ years, I utilize the appraisal system to strengthen my
 seller’s contracts from the beginning to save my clients MORE money in unwanted carrying costs.
When my clients have their moving plans in place, it is most important not to lose a buyer to a cancelled contract.
 My experience navigating and negotiating multiple offers helps my clients make MORE informed decisions.
My clients appreciate MORE efficient and convenient communication with one point of contact from start to sold.
