Some times, more than others, you need to hold on Some times, more than others, you need to hold on to moments of joy tighter than ever.

For me, this week, it has been found during long drives through country roads and wintery scenes in wine country. Or with a good movie or TV show (Sylvie’s Love was my latest, along with Netflix’s special “Pretend It’s A City” with Fran Lebowitz). Or with loving conversations with dear friends.

The point is, as a society, there is much to do, but our heart and mind and soul are sacred. Care for them. Love them. Feed them joy, however and wherever you may find it. We may live to fight another day...but we don’t have to live to fight every day.♥️

Looking back at this year in photos and I have to Looking back at this year in photos and I have to laugh at how very little it all says about this year. My health scare definitely impacted me but it by no means defined this year for me. It was a year of centering. 

I am grateful for so much. The health and safety of my family. Our ability to continue to work and have jobs. The honest, safe, strong, and loving relationship with my husband whom I really, really enjoy spending time with. The closeness, support, and love of my closest friends - all the tears, laughter, raw conversations and uplifting we shared with each other. The incredible weight lifted from letting go of the people and things that don’t matter. The clarity in what I want. The incredible peace in having all I need. 

I have no resolutions for this coming year other than to hold on to what I already have and to give more to those who aren’t so lucky, which I have found so gratifying.

This year showed me what a lot of other people value and how they define what’s most important to them and in many ways, I needed to see it. It helped me make better choices in what I call friendships and where I focus my attention and time, of which we all increasingly have so little.

So despite all that 2020 took from us, I feel crazy fortunate to still feel I am walking away with such important lessons and tremendous growth. And after all, isn’t that a sign of a year well lived?

Happy New Year. My heart to all who’ve lost so much, who need help and continue to struggle through, and to the many great souls who continue to give to so many.

Headed to #HobokenNJ to pick up the most special p Headed to #HobokenNJ to pick up the most special package to complete my holiday bliss, our oldest son.

There exists nothing I wanted more than my family, together, happy, and healthy. It’s always been something I have appreciated but this year served as an important reminder of how precious that is.

A reminder too that family is what you make it. And we can make joy anywhere. This holiday season I want to say thank you to all those taking the steps to take care of themselves and others. Thank you to all those who fight for we, the people daily. To the activists who have shaped this year in more ways than one. Thank you for the kindness of strangers and friends, old and new. And expressed gratitude for the reminder that true peace and joy is not in things, likes, clicks, or paid-for content - it is in people and moments, many of which never even make it onto the gram but are everything that makes life worth living. Hold on to those the tightest.

Happy Everything.
