I am…
– an amateur gardener
I am a mother of three teenage daughters and wife of 26 years. I have cultivated this space to grow and evolve as the seasons of our home constantly change. At this time, I am transitioning our home to one of launching children, navigating menopause, and redesigning what my next cycle of life will look like and have never been more excited! Right now, you will most likely find me out back in our gardens – spending time in nature, looking for inspiration, listening to her wisdom and enjoying the peace she has to offer. During this time of extreme chaos swirling around us, more time outdoors seems to somehow center me. So, come on around back, the gate is open…I am glad you are here!
It had long since come to my attention that people of accomplishment rarely set back and let things happen to them. They went out and happened to things. -Leonardo da Vinci

Have A Plan
Regardless of the November election outcome, there is going to be a huge group of people feeling angry, hurt and perhaps depressed. This is assuming the results are considered legitimate and one of the candidates acquiesces to the other. We know this could go on for...

Slack Tide
