The Power of Instead
“What can we do instead?” This seems to be the theme of life over the past few months. I feel a great deal of power in being able to pose this question, with family, friends, clients. Such as, “Ok, family, we can’t go outside and play with friends…what can we do instead?” (Answer: Let’s […]
My Gift to The Graduates of the Class of 2020
Outside of my office the sound of children laughing, playing, running and being chased fills the air. Young friends reunited, having been quarantined for 2 months of no play dates, it’s as if shackles were shed. It is beautiful and sunny.

Family Feud – Stuck Together 24/7: What Do We Do Now?

The Missing iPhone
Today my son found this iPhone at a basketball court in the park we drove 15 min from our home to hang out at. He was so excited. He acted like it was his for about 5 minutes and then became very concerned as to who the owner was. He waited with it by […]
The Blank Calendar Promise
Just going over my calendar 🤣 At this point all we can do is laugh. Equally, as I stare this reality down, it’s nice to have a Promise to myself to face the blank slate, knowing it’s a chance to write, create, and manifest whatever I want. I love times like these. They are unnerving […]
