Lobster, Gin, Sundaes and Family Time…

When I first met my neighbor Dan (who I also commonly and half-jokingly refer to as “my photographer” since he often takes such incredible and beautiful photos of me) a few months into the pandemic back in 2020, I never would have anticipated that we’d become such fast friends and that, nearly four years later, […]

A Month to Remember: February 2024

With how busy, bustling and, at times – unpredictable – as this past month has been – I’m not entirely surprised that it feels like it started and ended in the blink of an eye.

Is it possible to rewind the clock […]

A Month to Remember: August 2023

I have to keep reminding myself that as excited as I am for September, the Fall and all my favorite Autumnal activities, Halloween, etc., etc., that I need to practice being present and living in the moment just a little bit more- and that includes taking the time to bid a fond farewell to August […]
