SPOTLIGHT: THE BECKY GLORIOD PARTNERS CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
$899,000, and is located in the highlyesteemed Cheyenne Mountain School District 12. The private .31 acre lot features three outside patio areas with sweeping mountain views and enchanting professional landscaping all around. A flagstone walkway leads up to the large, custom, hand-carved, antique Hacienda front entry door, which is a marvel in itself. The main level boasts an incredible circular great room that features a soaring 18 foot round copper ceiling with beams and an antler chandelier. The ceiling is structural and spans 24 feet. The room also has a magnificent wall of glass comprised of seven double-pane low-e windows with plantation shutters. Brick floors and a fabulous two-sided fireplace with adobe brick surround welcome you to sit down, relax and enjoy the luxury and artistry of every little detail of the home — from the arched doorways to the rounded walls to the hand-hewn diamond finishes. The convenient half bathroom on the main level has a rustic alder pocket door, a Mexican antique vanity inset with a hand painted Talavera sink and hand laid Latillas ceiling. The great room opens to a spacious formal dining room, which comes complete with a Taos dining table that seats 12 or more people. Adjoining the dining room is a charming kitchen adorned by a large center island, beamed ceiling, custom alder cabinetry with a white wash treatment and polished concrete countertops. Appliances include a Wolfe six-burner gas stove with double oven and a Subzero refrigerator with wood panels that match the cabinetry. Off the kitchen is a verandah with retractable awning over a Latillas ceiling.
To the opposite end of the great room are gorgeous antique double doors that open to a captivating hallway with brick floor and a plastered barrel ceiling with two skylights. This hallway leads to the master suite, but first passes a studio/office with brick floors, plantation shutters, alder built-ins and burnished copper cabinet drawers. An arched door opens to the master bedroom that boasts a kiva fireplace, beamed ceiling with wrought-iron chandelier and a large walkout flagstone patio. The remodeled master bath has
travertine floors, jetted tub, a walk-in double travertine shower, skylight, private water closet and raised dual vanities. The vanities have handsome copper sinks and faucets with handcarved mirrors above. A large walk-in closet with built-ins completes the master suite. Continuing to the walkout lower level, you are welcomed into a cozy family room that features brick flooring, an entertainment center, wet bar, fireplace with handsome adobe surround and a curved adobe accent wall with built-in
bench for seating. This space has plenty of natural light and opens to a front flagstone courtyard. There are two guest bedrooms on the lower level, one with a private full bath and wood floors; and the other with beamed ceiling, ceiling fan, wood floors, double closets and a bath with walk-in travertine shower just across the hall. To the other end of the lower level is access to the oversized two-car garage and workspace. Just off the garage is a laundry room with brick floors, travertine countertop, sink, storage cabinets, included washer and
dryer, and a door to the utility room. The home has two hot water heaters and two furnaces — one with a humidifier for the main level. This beautiful home will sweep you away with its rare, authentic Pueblo designs and adornments throughout.

stress-relief exercises that will calm your interview anxiety
Turn your bundle of nerves into a bevy of offers.
BY ELANA LYN GROSS MONSTER.COM
Let’s face it: No one likes to be judged, but like it or not, that is exactly what a job interview is: a judgment zone. It’s also your chance to show that you’re the right person for the job, but if you’re not confident that you’ve got what it takes, the interviewer won’t be either. If it’s any comfort, know that plenty of people are worried that their anxiety will sabotage their jobinterview performance. According to a 2013 study by Harris Interactive and Everest College, 92 percent of U.S. adults are anxious about job interviews, and 17 percent of people ranked fear of being nervous as their top concern. Luckily, you can cross “nervous about being nervous” off your list with these stress-relief exercises that will help to calm your job interview anxiety.
DO A MENTAL DRESS REHEARSAL
LISTEN TO A MOTIVATIONAL PLAYLIST
Most career experts will advise you to practice answering interview questions, but there’s another kind of rehearsal that can prepare you in a different way — the rehearsal that’s all in your mind. “Research shows that experiencing success increases our confidence, even if that experience is imagined,” says Harley Sears, an Arkansas-based consulting hypnotist. To get into a mental rehearsal, Sears recommends that you make yourself comfortable, close your eyes, take a few deep breaths, and allow your muscles to relax. “See yourself as calm, focused, and prepared — confidently answering any questions throughout the successful interview. Allow yourself to feel strong, confident, and proud while visualizing your successful interview.”
Star in your own episode of Carpool Karaoke on your way to the interview, and you could sing your way into a Zenlike state for interview success. “Movement and music can instantly get you in a place of confidence,” says Jennifer Davis, a New Jersey-based leadership coach. “Pick a favorite song that fills your heart with passion. Songs and movements that connect you with your best self will allow you to fully experience power in the moment, and then you can go in and crush it!”
GIVE YOURSELF A PEP TALK Do you sometimes catch yourself talking to yourself? It’s ok. We all do it. Well, according to Patricia Thompson, president of Silver Lining Psychology, an Atlanta-based corporate psychology
and management consulting firm, that’s exactly what you want to do before an interview to get in the right headspace. Thompson actually suggests a trick to personalize your pep talk even more: “Use your own name. Research suggests that it helps you to distance yourself a bit from the situation, and instead of getting caught up in the anxiety of it, can help you to have a greater sense of perspective,” she says.
WATCH FUNNY VIDEOS Finally, there’s a time when it is productive — and prescriptive — to watch cat videos. Thompson says there’s a benefit to watching a few funny videos before you head into your interview. “Having a good belly laugh relaxes you and puts you in a better mood. It has also been linked to reduced stress hormones in the body,”
she says. Good laugh, good interview.
EXAGGERATE YOUR FEARS This might sound like the absolute opposite of a calming exercise, but as you’re preparing for your interview, ask yourself what’s the worst that can happen…then amplify it. “Most people try to stifle anxious thoughts with positivity, but voicing your worst fears is more effective,” says Jackie Viramontez, a Los Angeles-based life coach. “The exaggeration method allows you to laugh at yourself and regain a practical perspective.” So think about what you fear most. Is it blanking on a question? Spilling your coffee? Play that scenario out, and you may just calm those jitters by having the experience in the safety of your own home. ■
