Embracing Chaos

“We live in a rainbow of chaos.” – Paul Cezanne I have not posted to my blog in 42 days. FORTY-TWO DAYS! How have I allowed so much time to pass? How is it that days and weeks are silently slipping by? I will admit that 2024 ended on a low for me. I experienced personal and professional losses that…

The Whisper of Change

It has been a whirlwind. These junior years have gone by so quickly, and the end of a school era draws near. Decisions for next year are upon us, as the whisper of change surrounds us. Where has the time gone? I reminisce of our earlier days together – playgrounds, splash pads, bike rides, trail walks, indoor play time, drawing,…

Give to Yourself

It’s no surprise to anyone who follows my blog that I have spent these past two years struggling to both find and maintain balance in my life.

A Step Back in Time

Just two weeks ago I completed my round of annual scans and tests. This one was for my blood work. Since school is out, and I did not have the foresight to enroll my child into a summer camp, I had to bring my AmazingLM along with me. It’s not the first time I’ve had to bring him to my…

And What an Adventure it Was!

We are back!! It was 3 weeks ago today when we touched down at Newark International Airport. This time, our departure from start to finish was relatively seamless. Our plane departed on-time, and due to tailwinds, it landed early! Since we packed strategically to avoid checked baggage, we were able to depart from the plane and straight into an Uber….
