Changing seasons mirror the ebbs and flows of our personal connections, providing a gentle reminder to reflect and adjust as we focus on introspection, communication, boundaries, and our routine.

Change is unavoidable, and no matter whether we experience the change as good or bad, change can still knock us off our center. So, if you are struggling with change at this time, please extend lots and lots of understanding and empathy to yourself.

You are a gift to us, your family and friends, and most of all, your hard work and dedication allow you to show up fully and authentically for yourself.

If you find yourself at a crossroads, where you know it is time to move on and let something or someone go, yet there is a part of you that wants to hold on, please have compassion for yourself and recognize that you are not alone in your struggle.

Along the way, Ada has taught me many important lessons as well, and one that has possibly impacted me the most is: Start with the Easy Things

Earlier this month, Don and I celebrated our 38th Wedding Anniversary. We had a nice long chat about all the usual thoughts people have on such an anniversary.

We are sitting in our home office today listening to beautiful music, all caught up on our work, with Greta at our feet, thinking of the events of last week. The safety we feel at this moment is quite meaningful, as we know that life can change in an instant. It has for us on past days, and we’re pretty sure you all can relate to that experience.
