This is where I have spent the summers of my life.

Cape Cod.

This is where I hunted for sea glass and played hide and seek in the jetties and searched for sand dollars and crabs and little random bits of absolute nonsense that washed up on the shore.

The days were long and lazy and full of adventure.Continue reading

Who built Stonehenge?

Is the world going to be inhabited by aliens in the next century?

Where did the Don Draper we all know and love disappear to during the last season of Mad Men?Continue reading

I am so happy.

And so tired.

The good kind of tired.

The kind of tired that happens when you have driven across the country to speak at a conference wearing these earrings…..

…..and you gave it everything you had.Continue reading

And somewhere between the pom-pom pillow and the pallet top desk….

A post about the ability to live each and every day to the fullest.

It’s such a simple post, really.   But when I wrote it…..I left my heart on the page.

When I wrote it I cried.

And then I laughed.

And then I counted my blessings.

It is my favorite post I have ever written.Continue reading
