A Month to Remember: November 2024

While I’m recovering from my food coma that took hold of me last night post-Thanksgiving feast with my family and simultaneously preparing to meet up with Stef for a Black Friday Brunch over in Deerfield this morning, I thought I’d take the opportunity to put together my full recap of this past month that was […]

Thankful and Blessed…

Although Thanksgiving isn’t until next week, I’ve been spending a lot of time over these past few days doing some reflection and meditating on my life in 2024 through now – the big changes, accomplishments, ups and downs and, most importantly – the people who have been with me and by my side throughout it […]

Lakeside Fireworks and Historic Barbies…

As someone who has worked in law for well over a decade now, I’m aware of procedures, protocols and what is […]

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. I’ve been keeping up with company, legal proceedings, work and spontaneous weekend adventures (to break up the seriousness of my […]
