Currently reading the book Strangers - about a woman going through a divorce. It’s a great book and yes, she’s extremely privileged BUT here’s the important lesson - you may think you know your husband but during a divorce he’s not the same person.

As I tell my coaching clients - don’t try to rationalize or figure it out - it will only make you crazy.

Going through a divorce is simply a termination of a contract. The faster you can understand that the better the outcome.

To say I’m bursting with pride would be an understatement. It might not have seemed like a big accomplishment, but throughout the performance of Lion King with , Spencer moved further out of his comfort zone and stayed on stage. Finally at the end of the performance he not only remained but put on his giraffe head!

I’m so grateful to the incredible volunteers who spend tireless hours with patience and kindness putting the show together.

People with disabilities deserve to be seen and heard and express themselves and that’s what Sphere is about! ❤️

A startling realization hit me last night.

When our kids are little, we can see the danger and either remove them or the danger itself to keep them safe.

Once they become adults we can see the danger and do neither of those things - just watch the oncoming train and pray.

Today is Bereaved Mother’s Day - a day no mom wants to acknowledge.

If your child has died or you’ve experienced a stillbirth or miscarriage, you’re still a mom. 💜

As a caregiver and the leader of a non-profit organization I’m constantly “on” - trying to anticipate the next crisis. It impacts my nervous system tremendously.

I know that as an older woman I need to keep my body strong to care for my husband with Primary Progressive MS, but I also need to stay emotionally and mentally healthy.

This morning I realized that I needed to tend to my emotional and mental well being so I headed to the beach - my happy place.

Ladies, don’t ignore this! If you’re emotionally exhausted take care of yourself! It’s not a luxury.
