Hey ya'll, How's it going?? Going to stick with this new format to see how it sticks - hope you dig it! Musings So what if our WHOLE LIVES are in the messy middle of our chaos and beauty -- our joy and heartbreak? It feels like most of us are in a perpetual spin cycle of emotions because the world is filled with heartbreak. It can be hard to chase the joy, keep it positive, and shoulder the heavy. I know. I get it. So some days I find myself weepy and despondent. Others bright and chipper and ready to expunge negativity from our universe. Most days are filled with both ends of the spectrum...and isn't life the same? So why do we struggle to be where we are?! I could get into the neuroscience of our thoughts and what it takes to change them, but I have something far simpler to offer. What would a world look like if we all just allowed ourselves the grace to be where we are instead of the continuous strain of trying to be somewhere we aren't? I imagine it might be magical. Maybe we can all give it a go! In Other News... Business Happenings & Updates If food is your love language, please check out my friend Chef Cara.

a watercolor inspired by the Nor'easter Happy "More Rain" Monday from Central NJ! I write you this morning with deep feelings of rage and heartbreak about the state of the world, and specifically over the court ruling in the Cornell SA case. As a survivor, I am utterly digusted and exhausted from the bullshit and lack of accountability for every violent criminal that walks free and most of all, the person holding the highest office in America. The insults and reminders are everywhere and all...
The Joy of Hosting Female Leaders Happy Saturday, I've been giving a lot of thought to the conversations I've been having with colleagues about work life these days and the strain of leadership, managing profitability and maintaining a healthy team.Professional spaces and membership organizations like LinkedIn, Chief, vYve, and others talk a lot about leadership skills. Communication. Strategy. Accountability. Being Decisive. Emotional intelligence. Yet we rarely talk about JOY. Not happiness...
Wild skies over Manasquan "When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time." Maya Angelou Ooooof! It's been an emotional couple of weeks. And I find myself contemplating this quote and these tough questions as I navigate my feelings of hurt and betrayal. How are we showing up when we are let down? How are we healing when our heart breaks? How can we trust that we are loved and lovable even when we are excluded?How will we learn to honor the process?How will we get better at...
