I shared in this little corner of the world recently my word of the year. As I’ve shared more openly with friends that word and my thought process has evolved, I want to challenge myself. If you know me, you know I love a good challenge. That challenge can be physical, mental, a fundraising challenge; …
Happy Sunday! Another cold, maybe snowy Sunday depending on where you are! I’m camped out at our place in North Carolina and I am thrilled to be here. I haven’t spent a long weekend here in MONTHS. It’s been a delight! This past Thursday, I took myself on a morning date to try something new …
Happy Sunday! What a COLD weekend. I think I’ve been cold for almost an entire week (or year). It’s probably because I started the week in Morgantown and am ending the week in cold Charleston. How was your week? Did it fly by like mine? I think the week flies by when I don’t have …
It feels like the first two weeks of January have lasted two seconds and two years all at the same time. Anyone else feel this way? Just me? I’ve been thinking the past several weeks, almost two months really, about my word of the year and what I want my intention to be for the …
Hello from sunny, warm Morgantown! (It’s not warm, it’s been rainy but I really love this house). I flew up on Thursday night and I don’t know what it is, but I always leave feeling so refreshed from my time here. Maybe it’s the house, the slower pace, the work put in to renovating it …
Happy first Sunday of 2026! It’s Monday. My favorite day of the week. Life happened, and sometimes life happens. And that’s okay. I’m so partial to even-numbered years, randomly. I think because I was born in an even year and it just feels so . . . symmetrical. The only thing that could really make …
Happy New Year! I love nothing more than a fresh start, a clean slate and a new beginning. 2025 went by in the blink of an eye, and December was even faster. I’m personally excited to start some purging and going through clothes and organizing. Starting quite literally today. Sharing all of the fun around …
It’s the last Sunday before essentially two weeks of “Christmas break,” and I would be remiss to say I am missing the winter break we had in school as kids. This holiday season has been PACKED with more work than social, and I personally prefer it the other way around! Regardless, I am really going …
Happy Sunday! Why oh why is it so cold today? And this weekend. I really need it to be 10 degrees warmer and no rain next weekend please! I’m in full holiday mode over here: shopping, planning stocking stuffers, thinking about holiday plans. Really all of it. I say it often, but Christmas really is …
How. Is. It. December. I’m doing the Monday after Thanksgiving travel today, hoping for no delays but if I do have a delay, I’m at least in one of my favorite lounges on the East Coast! There is SO MUCH going on in the greater Charleston area this month. So, so much. It’s hard to …
