the dealio of life.

It's the simple things in life, really. A cup of tea on a drizzling, cloudy day. Appreciating being alive.

I'm really happy and grateful for this year, when I stop to think about it. It didn't always feel great at the time but I accomplished so much in my business, travelled to Europe and Asia this year, and all over the States while eating tons of amazing food.

What I've learned is my need to reduce, simplify, and take more responsibility in my life.

My husband, God bless him, is a kind and patient man. And boy did we get into this year, with lots of ups and downs. I think we're a little closer to figuring it out, maybe, but still a long way to go.

I added a lot to my life this past year, as much I took things away, pickleball, clothing, plants, furniture. So this year is a year of reckoning and reconsidering how to keep the things I love and let go of all the extraneous things. I hope to document that journey here.
