I hope you all had a great weekend. Last weekend I had coffee with a family friend I have known my entire life. There is something extremely comfortable and authentic about that experience… to spend time with someone that you may not be in regular contact with but who you grew up with. It’s as if those…

Happy Monday. My book club recently read The Correspondent. If you are not familiar, this book is composed entirely of letters written to and from the female protagonist, Sybil. In our discussion we talked about the lost art of letter writing and we decided, in order to reclaim that art, that we would each write a letter to…

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Last Sunday I attended a small pro tennis tournament called the Delray Beach Open. Earlier that day we had checked the weather and the forecast said it was likely going to rain during the match. My husband immediately started contingency planning– assuming the match would be rained out and postponed.…

As most of you know, my son is getting ready to graduate from high school and head off to college. Coupled with the excitement about this next chapter, there is uncertainty and questions as he finalizes this big decision and prepares for this huge life change. As we ride these waves I find myself vacillating between wanting to rush through this…

I hope you are all enjoying the long weekend. The weather here has been quite beautiful the last few days but before that we experienced some very chilly weather (for Florida). I know it does not compare to the chilly temps in the northeast but what I realized during our cold snap is that I have…

Happy Monday. I hope you all had a good weekend. Last weekend I was struggling with disappointment over the behavior of a few folks. It is hard when looking in on a situation from the outside to get the full picture but the part I was seeing made me sad and a bit angry. It is…

I hope you are all staying warm this Monday. Even here in Florida it is 33 degrees this morning! Last week I ran into a friend. She is a relatively new friend but we have made a deep connection quite quickly. The few times we have gotten together our conversations have covered a broad myriad…

I hope those of you grappling with challenging weather are safe and warm. I have experienced some intense highs and lows over the past few weeks; the deep low of losing our beloved dog, and the true high that comes from a wonderful weekend with friends at a wedding celebration. We are always living in…

Last Thursday my family sat together in the emergency vet’s office at 4:30am to say goodbye to our almost twelve year old dog Dixie. It was very sudden and unexpected. This photo was taken a week after we rescued her as a tiny twelve week old puppy. My kids were pretty tiny at that point as…

Last week I booked my flights for the next retreat I am leading.  Whenever I book flights for a retreat I always take a moment to reflect back to my first retreat 9 years ago. I was completely petrified to book the flight because it felt like a commitment I could not undo. Ironically one of the…
