Uncertainty Brings Certainty
I follow the Dalai Lama on Twitter (@DalaiLama) and every once and awhile one of his tweets really hits home. These last few months have been challenging in so many ways. For me – it is a constant struggle between the known, the unknown and the interpretations of everything in between. Read more

Staying Positive
This has been a rough month at my house, iPhone drop, car problem, death of our family pet, son with a broken arm, and last Thursday, my knee surgery. Through it all – I have to say I feel like I am very fortunate. I have friends who have been very helpful, as well as a supportive and caring family.

We Are…Resilient
Resilient: able to become strong, healthy, or successful again after something bad happens able to return to an original shape after being pulled, stretched, pressed, bent, etc. A year ago today I was getting ready to fly down to Florida to see my grandmother as we just got some good news that things were starting to look better after a long/hard surgery. A year ago today I felt like if I could just be with her – I could give her some of my strength and love – and that would be enough to get her through all of this.... Read More » Read more
