      It’s raining. And cold. And Quarantined. It’s Friday. 

Last Friday was better. 

Traveling during Covid is very different BUT @waltdisneyworld was safe, sanitized, and spectacular!!! Working on a blog with all the details but for now, cheers to the weekend.

      H̆̈Ă̈P̆̈P̆̈Y̆̈ B̆̈Ĭ̈R̆̈T̆̈H̆̈D̆̈Ă̈Y̆̈! 

Today he turns 20!  How? When? My firstborn, the one who made me a mom, is 20 today! 

People often ask why we keep taking grown kids to @waltdisneyworld and really, this is why. Each phase with them is different and special. Revisiting rides they’ve always loved with new eyes (and a slower pace), keeps us all silly and young. 

Happy birthday to Conman. I love you #toinfinityandbeyond

      𝕎𝕙𝕒𝕥 𝕕𝕠 𝕪𝕠𝕦 𝕤𝕖𝕖? 

Do you see confidence?  What of your personal experience did you assign to this image? 

I see one of the most anxious days of my life. @juliekahlbaugh and I did a shoot this day and she knew I was off. She saw, through her lens, what was inside of me.  She kept asking if I was ok. (And I am grateful for her empathy) 

I showed up that day. These photos got tons of likes and comments and, I’ll admit, compliments. This was October  of 2017 and I was in a triggered place. So while you may see a self-assured woman, I know she was vulnerable this day. 

Remember that everyone has a story. I’m sharing in an effort to be more authentic. Many people, myself included, see images in these places and make assumptions. I am an Enneagram 7, the enthusiast, and I do NOT like to sit in the quiet. The hard time. My own very noisy brain. 

In 2021, my word of the year is BE. To simply accept my whole story, warts and all. To approach each day with I am... 

*real 
*empathetic
*sensitive
*resilient 
*determined but also 
*scattered 
*growing
*curious

I have spent decades curating my own type of confidence. I don’t want to make apologies for successes but I also won’t hide the failures.
