Ok so I was talked …bullied…into purchasing a timeshare shortly after becoming single, while still in that euphoric tipsy turvy stage of just being excited to do things for the shear thrill of being able to do it yourself. And I know there is a stigma but I want to share how positive it hasContinue reading “Ode to the Timeshare 💦🏡⛱”

Hurricane 🌀
I am reflecting on Hurricane Irma, the only other hurricane I have lived through since moving to Florida, as Hurricane Ian approaches. At that time I was still married. This time around I have been single for 4 years. We evacuated to the panhandle then. Today my girls and I are riding it out inContinue reading “Hurricane 🌀”
Summer! 🍉🏖☀️
It’s summer and you need to stock up on popsicles! Here is my popsicle mom hack. For whatever reason my kids have always preferred the popsicle version of a smoothie so when I have extra smoothie in the blender I pour the rest into any of my various popsicle molds (some pictured, others push upContinue reading “Summer! 🍉🏖☀️”
The Hail Mary 📿🙏🏻
I grew up in a household with a mother who had left the Catholic faith after attending Catholic all her years. She was attracted by the Jesus movement of the 1970’s, trending toward a more fundamentalist, charismatic, experiential based expression of the Christian faith. I was taught that we should avoid rote prayers and makeContinue reading “The Hail Mary 📿🙏🏻”
Why I’m Happy I Threw My Son’s Phone in the Lake 💦📲
Parenting is not for the faint of heart. Having a house full of teenagers is Really not for the faint of heart. It can drive you to the brink of madness. One minute they are pushing you away. The next they are needy and demanding of your time and presence. You never see them whenContinue reading “Why I’m Happy I Threw My Son’s Phone in the Lake 💦📲”
Ode to the Personal Assistant
Yesterday I was listening to a radio talk show host while I was driving and his guests were lamenting women who work and how much better it is when women were home with their kids. They were claiming it is a lie that women can have and do it all. Well, maybe…but ✨ What IContinue reading “Ode to the Personal Assistant”
Holy Week – Sacrifice 🙏🏻✝️
I have been listening to the gospels this Holy Week. In there are descriptions of John the Baptist who in the Christian Faith Tradition is understood to have prepared the way for the Messiah, Jesus Christ, his cousin in fact. John’s work of preparing the way ended with his head being served up on aContinue reading “Holy Week – Sacrifice 🙏🏻✝️”
Why I Chose to Seek an Annulment
Some of you have probably heard of an annulment but most will have no real understanding of the term. The Webster’s/Wikipedia definition of annulment is basically (paraphrasing) a determination that a marriage was void from the beginning. This of course differs from the legal act of a divorce which terminates the marriage but allows thatContinue reading “Why I Chose to Seek an Annulment”

On Death 🪦💀
My kids call me a “death attorney” without even a trace of sarcasm. And it is true we have seen a lot of death lately. As an estate planning attorney it sometimes falls to me to be with my clients during their last days, hours, even at their bedside at their last breath. Some haveContinue reading “On Death 🪦💀”
