We are about to take off an a one day adventure, crossing off another item on our list! Today we will be gathering up all our friends for a bus tour around the breweries of San Diego!! Doesn't that sound so much more sophisticated that "we are beer hopping in a bus".  But, seriously, Nikki is thrilled and I can't wait to head down to San Diego to help cheer on her birthday, as well as her hubby Michael's birthday as well.  Yep, those two crazy lovebirds share a birthday month, so we will be … [Read more...]

Mother: a female parent: to give birth to: also: produce: to care for or protect like a mother. The word mother has always brought up a great deal of sadness for me. I have never had a typical relationship with my mother and until recently carried around a ton of guilt when it came to the thought of her. Christine P. Adams was a “beautiful disaster” as my BFF Kelly Clarkson would say. She could be captivating and free spirited one minute and deeply sad and withdrawn the next. My childhood … [Read more...]

Sometimes in our lives we need something to jolt us awake, and empower us to change.  For me, this has been my best friends battle with metastatic breast cancer. We are the same age.  The truth is that I have gotten too busy, and too stressed to take care of myself. But, watching Nikki fight so hard to stay healthy made me realize that I had no excuse.  Taking care of my body, my health, and my well being needed to be something that I made a priority in my life. That is when the … [Read more...]

Letting People In

Hearing that you have cancer brings about all kinds of responses in people. The first time I was told I had cancer I went into a total trance and didn't wake until it was all over. In fact, I told very few people.  It was almost if “I don’t have to say it out load, than this isn't happening”.  I made my best friend swear she wouldn't tell anyone and I had a total moratorium on pictures.  No pictures were to be taken of me until my hair came back! I even went through my … [Read more...]

Working with homeless teenagers is my passion. The young men and women that I work with never cease to amaze me with their strength and resilience. I can honestly say that I learn something new every day from the young people I have the honor to work with. Although, lately I have found that doing the job I love so very much has become difficult due to my health. I have always said that if I’m unable to give 100% to the population I serve, or feel I’m becoming a burnt out cliché’ of a … [Read more...]

I have been putting together all the pictures and journaling about a week in New York ever since we got back. There have been moments when it feels all so personal and precious that I don't want to share the memory.....but, that is not what our site is about. Sharing our moments is what makes them real, and even more meaningful. Another thing that is incredibly important for us to share is that this trip would not have been possible without the generous support, and encouragement from our … [Read more...]
