This week has been heavy—both on my heart and my spirit.

It’s a privilege to walk alongside families, offering care and hope.

But this week has reminded me just how deeply I pour myself into this work, and right now, I could use a little replenishing. Thank you for sending ❤️ my way.

Some weeks, we pour ourselves into everything—parenting, work, keeping the house in order. Other weeks, like this one, we’re just…tired. And you know what? That’s okay.

Because some weeks just showing up is the victory. Good enough is good enough.

⭐️ Last night, my husband shared a beautiful idea: at midnight on New Year’s, we’ll open our front door.

He explained that by doing so, we symbolically let the old year out—releasing what no longer serves us—and welcome the new year in, inviting fresh beginnings, hope, and possibility.

Done! On to Book 3. It’s getting good now.

After a few days of rest, feeling deep gratitude to be able to be back at it again, moving, and being in nature 🌳 🌲

Wishing everyone that celebrates a Merry Christmas!

Sadness whispers, soft and slow,
A shadowed stream where sorrows flow.
A heavy cloak, a muted hue,
The sky is gray, no sunlight through.

Yet tears may cleanse, as rain does earth,
And grief can sow the seeds of worth.
From aching roots, new blooms will rise,
A brighter dawn in tear-streaked skies.

When the universe has other plans and locks you and all of your colleagues out of your building for work. 😚

Who am I to argue with the universe when it’s clearly indicating we should all go home?

Just going with it today..

Oh just a regular morning where my 7 yo little guy turned on a math program all by himself to learn about infinity and the symbol pi 😂

To say he has a math brain is an understatement.

This child also was telling all his cousins at Hanukkah about quadratic equations.

Hobbling around this morning was a bit of an unexpected set back but trying to take the pause as a gift to slow down.

Last night woke up in the middle of a deep sleep with the most excruciating deep calf muscle spasm. New dance shoes perhaps?

Finished! Ready for the holiday party.

A little holiday party sparkle is my glimmer for today.

I love the idea that sadness isn’t something we have to fix or escape.

When we struggle with sadness or to feel “fine” maybe it’s because our bodies are asking for something else. Maybe it’s asking us to slow down. To feel. To honor what is there.

Sadness doesn’t mean broken. It means human.

Often it’s your deepest pain that empowers you to grow into your highest self—Karen Salmansohn

We got the ADHD diagnosis for my son who is on the spectrum that I have been advocating for for over 2 years.

To say I have mixed feelings is an understatement. It is a failure of our medical system that it took this long. I’m a nurse and provide advocacy for a living and I struggled.

Starting over can be exciting and humbling, especially returning to something you love after years away.

Steps that once felt effortless now demand focus and patience.

It’s humbling reminder that mastery fades without practice, but the passion can always be reignited.

“Love has something to do with the notion of being seen - the opposite of invisibility... To truly see someone - anyone - is an act that acknowledges and forgives our common and imperfect humanity... Love says softly - I see you. I recognise you. You are human, as am I. “ ~Nick Cave
