F Words to Live By
Have you ever opened your closet and thought:
“I have a closet full of clothes and nothing to wear.”
I think almost every woman has said it.
But sometimes the problem isn’t that we don’t have enough clothes.
Sometimes it’s that our closet is filled with clothes for women we used to be, hope to b...
For years, women were told the secret to aging well could be found in a jar.
The right cream, serum, treatment or supplement.
And while I’m all for taking care of our skin and looking our best, I believe one of the most powerful anti-aging tools we have has nothing to do with wrinkles.
It’s stren...
How old are you?
It’s such a simple question.
And yet, somewhere along the way, many women started treating the answer like classified information.
We whisper it.
We joke about being “29 again.”
We cringe when someone mentions our age.
We say things like, “I’m too old for that.”
But what if we stop...
Have you ever told yourself:
I’ll do it when I feel more confident.
I’ll start when I know more.
I’ll say yes when I’m completely prepared.
I’ll put myself out there when I’m ready.
Here’s something I’ve learned over the years:
Ready is overrated.
If I had waited until I felt completely ready...
My Superheroes
I’m incredibly fortunate to have a group of girlfriends we call the Superheroes.
And believe me, the name fits.
These are women who have walked through life together. We have celebrated the wonderful moments and held each other up through some incredibly difficult ones. We've laugh...
During the pandemic, my entire family was under one roof (a COVID silver lining). Both our daughters lived on different coasts and while home convinced their dad we needed to adopt a dog. The challenge was our 16 year- old cat – how would he handle it?
The girls won – as they usually do – and we ad...
We show up for a lot of people. Our families, friends, jobs, clients and communities.
We keep appointments, meet deadlines, answer texts, attend meetings, volunteer, help our children, care for aging parents, and somehow manage to squeeze one more thing into an already full day.
But there's one pe...
Have you ever noticed how one simple invitation can change everything?
"Want to go?"
Those three little words have led to some of my favorite memories.
A weekend getaway.
A new restaurant.
A walk around the neighborhood.
A fitness class.
A volunteer opportunity.
A road trip.
A girls' night.
Most adven...
Adventure doesn't always begin with a plane ticket.
Sometimes it begins with opening your closet.
As an image consultant for over 20 years, I've watched countless women reach for the same colors, the same styles, and the same "safe" outfits year after year. Not because they love them - but because...
When was the last time you did something just because it sounded fun?
Not because it was productive.
Not because it checked something off your to-do list.
Not because someone expected you to.
Just... because it made you smile.
As children, we were experts at having fun. We climbed trees, rode bikes...
One of the greatest myths about getting older is that adventure has an expiration date.
Somewhere along the way, many women begin to believe they've missed their chance. They think adventure belongs to their twenties, career changes should have happened in their forties, and by fifty, life should s...
Throughout this month, we've talked about friendships that shape our future, choosing a summer state of mind, and having the courage to embrace our next chapter. My hope is that these blogs have reminded you that joy isn't something we find - it's something we choose.
Joy isn't reserved for vacatio...
