Being Together Makes It Great
The weather may not have been great but we still had a great day together.
I hope this weekend you made the best of it too and surrounded yourself with those you love. Because that’s what this journey is about. Loving. Being loved. Being grateful.
We live in a country where our possibilities are endless all due to those who sacrificed their life for our freedom. Live your life and be grateful. Many people never had a chance to.

Rainy Weekends Call For...
I always loved Sedona. I also love when my best friend comes to visit. So lucky to be able to spend three nights together.
It’s great because we did the family night. Double date night and then our solo night together. We always have so much to talk about.
Sedona grilled chicken and chop salad is my favorite. We sat at the bar and talked for hours. Rainy weekends call for a lot of indoor activities. Mostly catching up on rest and stuff around the house. But at night we got to be together and it really was a lot of fun.
Just Be Happy
Everyone should really focus on creating a life that makes them happy. It’s not even about revenge. It’s about not letting others control your emotions.

No One Is Perfect
💗
Love this. It’s so true. No one is perfect. Accept that. But take the time to only allow real, honest, genuine people in your life.

34 Years of Friendship
It’s been a year and the half and what I love about them is when we get back together it’s like no time has passed by.
Lifelong friendships used to be the norm for me. But as I got older I realized so many people didn’t have a friend they grew up with. Someone who was there for you during your journey and any stage of life. I started to realize how rare it is. How special it is.
She has been my best friend through all my stages. And I love how our kids love eachother.
34 years of friendship. I hope my girls experience that too one day. ❤️

Something To Think About
The highs and lows. Makes you think. We all started and ended our day completely different. I wish you good days and strength to get through the hard ones.

Self-Love Makes You Aim For Better
When you’re happy within you won’t sacrifice that for anyone. You won’t settle. You won’t take crap. You won’t aim to please others.
Self-love makes you so strong that depending on others isn’t in your vocabulary. You depend on yourself. Anyone else is just an addition to your life. Focus on accepting all of you.

Bringing Back Your Norm
It’s been over a year. Way too long. I love this group. My “mommy friends” started out 7 years ago being together and even though now we are friends we like to add the mommy part because our kids brought us together.
We went to Amis Trattoria in Westport. Delicious. They ran out of sangria so we had lemonchello spritzer. We have octopus and my brown butter chicken was delicious! Would totally go back.
I love how the tunnel has lights hanging. We sat out back and it was perfect.
So wonderful to be with friends and even though it’s been a year it feels just like where we left off.

Change Your Patterns
Stop reacting. All together. Don’t respond. Don’t yell. Don’t do what you have done.
Observe. Listen. Process.
Trust me you will change your life. Patterns.
You don’t need to always be running in circles. When you change the way you do things the results change.
When Your Families Begin To Blend
It looks like something you find outside. No biggie. Right. But this little thing brought a smile to my face today when I found it in my living room. Something so simple. So easy.
Let me explain...
When you’re a single parent you become really guarded. You step up and think you don’t want to allow anyone in unless you’re really sure. You don’t want your kids meeting people you date unless you’re really sure.
So for years my kids never met anyone I dated. Then I met my boyfriend. It started casual. Easy. And then it blossomed. Fast. Fun. We just flowed with it. We then took it up to another level.
I met his daughter. He met my kids. We then had them meet. Before you know it we are a little family. Kids play. We hang out together. We love eachother. It’s natural. No pressure. Just fun.
So last night at my oldest baseball game my boyfriend was teaching my kids tricks with this little leaf. Not even sure what it is. He showed them how to make music with it and he stuck it on his nose and theirs. They laughed a lot and it’s so simple and easy. But they are so comfortable with him and I just watched and loved him even more because of it.
When my girls play with him or lay next to him and they are comfortable it makes my heart grow knowing after waiting all this time I chose the right one in.
When I am with his daughter I treat her like she’s mine because it’s a natural instinct to just be good to kids. Yours or not they are influenced by you. They look up to you. They admire you and you have to be good to them. My philosophy has always be the more the merrier what’s one more kid. I love them together I love us together. Being all together always makes me happy. Knowing they are happy all together makes me happy too.

Create Your Safe Place
This is key. We all need a place we can relax and be at peace. Be sure to create your home this way and fill it with people who add to the peace not create the chaos.
