Out of the middle…
After a tough 2018, on new years day, I gathered with 7 other powerful women and together we spent time in the divine feminine, reflecting, releasing and goal setting. I felt a palpable shift. A shift that this year could be fantastic and I could safely move into 2019...
So long 2018…
Every year I send out a Happy New Year card with a few family photos and a short note keeping everyone informed of what’s happened in the last year. If I had your address, I’d send it to you too! But the airwaves will have to do. Here’s to 2018! This year was filled...
Every Day Gratitude…
Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our...
Move it! Move it!
12 days til Halloween. 34 days til Thanksgiving and 67 days til Christmas! If you’re like me, and I’m guessing you are, the next several weeks are going to tempt you the same way they tempt me. And I can tell you right now, I’m gonna get my fingers in the candy jar,...
I am so blessed…
Last week at my son’s football game I was talking to a woman I hadn’t seen in 15 years. Her oldest daughter was a cheerleader. She didn’t look a day older than when I last saw her – and I bet she was a whopping size 2! For the next 20 minutes she shared with me how...
The Last First Day
My youngest son, Jordan, started his senior year. End of an era for me. For 30 years I’ve had a first-day-of-school, whether it’s Mom’s Day Out, Montessori, private school or public. This was my last ever first-day-of-school photo. And this one feels different on so...
What do you really want to do?
I’m writing this on vacation in Maine. Here’s the view from the chair in which I sit. I’m lucky, I know. My mom grew up on this very point of land and I’ve been priviledged to come here every single summer of my life. I love this place and it grounds and centers...
Sabering the Moment!
Yes – you read that right. Not savoring the moment, but sabering the moment! I didn’t even know about sabering a bottle of champagne, but now I can say I’ve done it – SUCCESSFULLY! Below is a video of me in action! Sabering champagne is reported to have started with...
Pretty Woman
It was over six months ago when my sister called my bubbling with excitement. She wondered if I’d want to go to Chicago for the premiere of Pretty Woman – The Musical. Live. On stage. Oriental Theater. Downtown Chicago. My sister. I was in! I have a long...
UP, BOLD, BIG – December 2016
I love gifts. I LOVE giving gifts and I love getting gifts. I like the brightly colored wrapping paper, I like the thought that went into the selection of it, I love the look on someone’s face as they watch you open a gift they’ve just given...
