It’s the cycle of life. Or at least the school year. Every June, spring fever is in full effect and the structure of school, baseball and the real estate market feels too confining. I can’t wait for summer break to ‘just let things flow’. You know, those easy breezy days of summer that are filled…
What’s your definition of success? Option A: Working 80 hour weeks, feeling stressed out, but afraid to take your foot off the gas for fear that everything will fall apart? Maybe fitting the definition of success on the outside but feeling like a failure on the inside knowing that this isn’t sustainable. Option B: Working…
August is one of my favorite months. The weather is beautiful, the days are still long, but starting to shorten, reminding us to savor every moment, and we are still in the free flowing schedule of summer.

We had breakfast with my niece this week to celebrate her 12th birthday. She is one of my favorite people on the planet, and in the thick of life as a middle schooler and all of the sometimes goofy stuff that comes with that. I found her the cutest bracelet with beads that spell out…
Wishing you a wonderful holiday weekend! I hope you get some time to relax and enjoy the holiday. To your success!Nicole
