We have had family here visiting this last week. We have had constant plans, and life has been bustling. We have gone into town, and way out to one of the farthest points by the ocean. At each place the family circles around with arms reaching out...
I love the 80s and 90s as much as anyone. I grew up in those decades. I remember the smell of sunscreen and lemon juice in my hair (DO NOT TRY THIS). Riding bikes and roller blading everywhere. Even when we were 16+ and had cars. Making up dances in...
This week, I asked one of my clients what they wanted to focus on in our upcoming session. Their answer came quickly and simply: “healing and forgiveness.” Two words. So small. So big. It’s interesting how often those two travel together—how tightly...

One of the nicest things my husband has ever said to me in our plethora of moves is, “You always make our house feel like a home.” I take that as a huge compliment. Home is important. Making a comfortable, nice and welcoming home is a hard balance...
