Fresh eyes First snow magic sprinkled from the air I take it all in humbled and hushed by the quiet fall as it descends upon her hair Giddy and bright smiling light-footed and free she dances like a pixie her joy is my gift Keep this moment hold it tight remember my love… Continue reading First Snowfall
A Room with a View
The view you see when traveling north from LA to the Northwest never loses its magic for me. The Ring of Fire which holds the Cascade mountains in its arms possesses some of the most majestic peaks in the World. While I wish I could come up with a word more unique, majestic is the… Continue reading A Room with a View
Blinded by the Light
“It’s rack up like a deuce!” “I always thought it was rack up like a douche!” “No he is talking about playing pool.” “I don’t know what he is talking about but I’ve always loved the song.” Laughter, laughter laughter… This was a part of our lunch conversation yesterday- an impromptu meet up with… Continue reading Blinded by the Light
Tough Day at the Office
One of the perks of my job is visiting beautiful resort properties in stunning locations. When you are in sales, you got to hold onto the fluffy stuff or else the hard knocks will kick you down! Yesterday, we called on the spas within some of the World’s most beautiful resorts in Santa Barbara. Santa… Continue reading Tough Day at the Office

Fireside Chats
My husband and I are on the road a lot for our jobs. We do work from home when we are home, which is nice, however most days it feels like we are two ships passing in the night. Probably more appropriate to say that most days we are “two busy working parents shuffling life,… Continue reading Fireside Chats
The End of an Ordinary Day
There are days in which you need to seek abundance. Times when the extraordinary hides among the ordinary and mundane. Yesterday was one of those. Nothing bad, just ordinary. Getting back to work after a week away for a business meeting, I was met with emails, phone calls, conference calls and paperwork. The day buzzed… Continue reading The End of an Ordinary Day
Winter Days in So Cal
Okay, this is not to rub it into the faces of those who are contending with floods, snow and ice in the height of these Winter days, but… In Southern California, we have it pretty good in the Wintertime. The sun shines on most days, although we have had some great rainstorms lately that might… Continue reading Winter Days in So Cal
Firsts
As a parent, we are blessed (and sometimes cursed) to experience many “firsts.” Some firsts are bigger than others. First steps, first day of Kindergarten, first date, to name a few but other “firsts”, while not as awesome or monumental, can still catch you off-guard and play with your heart. Today, I dropped my 10… Continue reading Firsts
