Well, this week has all but taken me down. It’s sure been a doozy. A real breathe taker away. The outcome of the election. The blatant Anti Semitic behavior in Amsterdam.A movement of women wanting to emotionally and financially support other women that has backfired. Being assigned to Jury Duty. That has been my week. […]

Just when…
I start to feel better about taking control of my body, there it is…. Age. The back side of my legs shocked me into a crying laugh. Here I was so aware of the front part of my legs, and the backside snuck up on me and smacked the front side into oblivion! My knees […]
Embracing Joy and Generosity: A Day at Keeneland Race Track
A few weeks ago on a Thursday, we went to Keeneland Race Track for the VERY first time. Sort of hard to believe, as we both grew up in Cincinnati and the farm is only 2 hours away! But, it took friends coming in to town to make it happen. What a beautiful and fun […]
Don’t Let The Old Man In….
Toby Keith, May He Rest in Peace, sang so eloquently… ”Ask yourself how would you be, if you didn’t know the day you were born” I think this is my new motto. As we age, I think especially women, we think is this outfit appropriate? Is it still ok for me to take a new […]
As time flies…
I work for our business. I respond to all of the communication. I assist our guests in hosting gatherings. My whole existence is tied to the calendar. I receive asks for the same week, month and even out as far as a year or two. I never fail to be amazed when it is January […]
And, another birthday….
Well, here I am. Another year older. I made it to another year, and I am one year closer to the next decade. Shit is starting to feel VERY real. And, while this makes me feel a little melancholy, I can not allow myself to feel too sad and here is why….. I woke up […]
Uh. Oh.
Uh. Oh. Turns out what I wrote a few weeks ago about sharing kindness is harder than I thought. Turns out being nice isn’t the same as being kind. Turns out I am inherently nice, but not always kind. That bums me out. Really and truly bums me out. I certainly never thought I was […]
“Don’t Go Changing…”
Remember that classic Billy Joel song? It goes on to say…”I’ll take you just the way you are..” That’s all well and good. But Billy doesn’t address the elephant in the room. What if your old patterns are no longer serving you? What if the world around you goes changing? What if your circumstances change? […]
Unspeakable Joy
Here we are. The end of 2020. A year ago we were all sitting around thinking WOW…2020. THIS is going to be a magical year! And just a few months into it, our world was shattered. Filled with sadness, stress, heart ache. A year we will forever remember as one of the most challenging and […]
I Believe In YOU!
You are beautiful. Inside and Out. Your blouse is so pretty on you. Your smile lights up a room. We all know, or at least I hope we do, the power of a kind word. The light that shines down on us when we feel heard, respected, appreciated, noticed, loved.The energy when we, ourselves, shine […]
