Good morning! For most of my life, worried about not being good at it or that people would think I’m goofy, I insisted that I didn’t dance. Yet, at a wedding this weekend, I danced so much that I’m still hobbling around like an octogenarian – and smiling at how fun it is to “dance like nobody’s watching.”

Every once in a while the perfect animal finds their perfect family. Lola was simply the best cat we have ever had the privilege to love - and boy did we love her. And, breaking all cat rules, she loved us back in a big, beautiful way. 🩵 Our hearts broke to suddenly have to say goodbye to her today.

“To love and be loved is to feel the sun from both sides.” —David Viscott

Good morning - When life is churned up, the chaotic details of all that has to get done can feel overwhelming. It may sound counterintuitive, but instead of focusing harder on all that’s happening, you might try focusing “softer.” Seeing the whole picture can steady us even in times of great upheaval.

As I said a few weeks ago, when your (other) daughter asks you to join her (and her awesome roommates) for a vacation at the lake, you should always say yes. So I did - again! 💛

• A blue sky, wild-flower-filled morning walk is good for the soul. • So is a grey sky, misty morning walk. • The water is still warm!! There is swimming to be done! • 30 years later and the view never gets old. • We’ve been training her for boat naps since she was in a bucket seat 26 years ago. • S’mores indoors! 😋 • “No shower happy hour!!” Apres lake dinner and drinks. • Our last day of the season was magnificent! Blue skies and warm sunbeams. • It’s back to the real world for us. Thank you, Katie, Victoria and Hope for luring us away for one more gulp of summer.

Good morning. This summer I’ve been distracted from both my garden and my yoga practice by the need to be present to my day to day life. It turns out that both my hobby and my practice are hardy enough to bear fruit even as I pour my attention elsewhere. Phew.

This summer I’ve been distracted from gardening and yoga by the need to be present to my daily life. It turns out both are hardy enough to bear fruit anyway.

Going through a parent’s things after they die can feel like a very dusty wild goose chase. Finding a surprisingly enlightened letter that my grandmother wrote to my mom 62 years ago touched a place in my aching heart in a wonderfully healing way. Click the link in my bio to read more.
