Life is teaching you. Me. Us. And I’ve had quite the two years of lessons. I record them here. There are no such things as coincidences. Nope. None. That can be hard to understand especially when those coincidences are negative like two rare cancers hitting a family in less than 6 months. But take this …

New York, come!
There is nothing I don’t love about New York. Let me be clear. This city is incredible. The best. The GOAT (greatest of all time). There is truly nothing like it and as someone who has been to 52 countries I feel semi equipped to say that. I ❤️ New York While very proud of …
Dear Ruth
Found in drafts! Forgot to press publish. Dear Ruth, Thank you for your years of service. True service. A service that touched every woman not just in this country but around the world. Your death is a heavy loss. You were our advocate. We knew that you had our backs. We knew that in a …
Walk in. Walk off.
We remain in awe of Jacob. He continues to walk in. He did so last week and will again this week. He walks in to walk it off. We are in the FINAL phase of treatment. I can’t believe I’m even saying that. It took 16 months to get here, but it is so sweet. …
The gag
I’ve been gagged. My writing has been gagged. It’s been so hard!!! You see… I’ve had a secret now for over a month and every time I write I want to write about it, but I can’t. Not yet…that it is. BUT it’s good. SO GOOD. I get excited thinking about it. So hard not …
Q2: Is there something that you wish you had done differently this past year? Alternatively, is there something you’re especially proud of from this past year?
I no longer spend my days thinking what you may possibly think of me. I have evolved this year in ways I never knew possible. I’m proud of this growth. I’m proud to give my self the gift of forgiveness. The gift of YESTERDAY. The gift of letting go, but learning at the same time. …
Q1: Describe a significant experience that has happened in the past year. How did it affect you? Are you grateful? Relieved? Resentful? Inspired?
This last year had only one event, Jacob’s fight with cancer. How did it affect me? It made me question everything I’ve ever known. Even the “knowns” like the sky is up and the floor is down felt questionable. Right versus wrong felt uncertain. Even my own identity I was unclear about. Was I good? …
10Q
I welcome you to this journey. 10 days. 10 questions. https://www.doyou10q.com/ I began my journey today. I’ve done this ritual for the past 8 years. It is a true gift to myself having this log. Please join me in this reflective process as we usher in a new year.
Shana Tova!
Can it really be real? How can one year be so different? How can the world change so drastically in 365 days? But it is very real. And while I’m sure there is a lot to complain about, this year has been quite a ride, there is a lot to celebrate too. A lot of …
The applause
I think we all should rise. I’m going to start a slow clap. One of those dramatic ones. Or maybe this is more appropriate Because there has been NO lack of effort here. Standing ovation is in order! As you can say a lot of things, but one thing I think we all agree on here. …
