Oh. My. Goodness. I swear I’m still alive. I took a much-needed hiatus this summer, which was literally and figuratively filled with soaking in the sun and playing in the sand while taking breaks from the surf (and chaos). If you took a peek at my Instagram feed (I hope you did!!), you saw the summer kicked off with the annual ladies trip to Vegas; a week […]

It’s my favorite time of year: the transition from summer to fall. Backpacks and school. Schedules return to normal. Enjoying the last few rays of summer before the rains return. It’s brief amount of time, about five weeks – maybe six or seven weeks if we’re really lucky – of crisp mornings, warm afternoons, and cool evenings. I’ve hung the boys’ […]

Last Friday I watched Peyton Place while folding laundry. It was the first time I had actually watched a majority of it in one sitting (I’ve always caught parts of it so it’s seemed rather disjointed for me). The movie could easily fit into a modern-day setting. Overbearing parents laying down the rules. Curious teens rebelling against the rules. A […]

I know some may think of HST as crass, but for me, his writing had breathtaking, and at times heartbreaking, moments of wisdom and beauty. Today’s quote is dedicated to those who need a boost in finding their way. Two quick tidbits: 1) I’m helping my friends at Domino Beauty Boutique with their big summer fundraiser. They’re hosting the Pink […]

Spring is finally here. Chilly mornings and nights, but the days are getting warmer. Daylight is staying around longer each day. Little signs of the nature coming alive are all around us. Spring also seems like a natural, massive reset button for us. It’s time to start fresh. I’ve never been one to set New […]

Last week I was at Alt Summit and this quote has never rung more true. While talking with the fellow attendees and learning about their work, it felt like entire new worlds were discovered. These women and men ranged from those who are just starting their journey to those who’ve had quite the adventure – […]

Today is about respect and honor. Today is about grace and peace – not the singing “Koombaya” around the campfire while holding hands kind, but the kind that’s made from compromise and with care. […]

Yes. I’m alive. Like everyone else who was returning to work from the holidays, last week was incredibly busy, catching up and getting through some massive checklists. I also got some really great news, which called for a happy dance – and I’m still riding high on the news even though I got some not-so-good […]

Should old acquaintance be forgot, and never brought to mind? Should old acquaintance be forgot, and auld lang syne? For auld lang syne, my dear, for auld lang syne, we’ll take a cup of kindness yet, for auld lang syne. And surely you’ll buy your pint cup! and surely I’ll buy mine! And we’ll take […]
