STORIES AND REFLECTIONS
While spending time among towering red rocks and twisting canyons millions of years in the making, I have been reminded that we are but a bleep on Earth and a blink of an eye in the clock of humanity. Yet, whenever I sit to contemplate these majestic giants, time slows down. And this is just…
Late post today as we’ve been out and about with no signal, checking off more trails from our bucket list. So very grateful today for the opportunity to be back enjoying the great outdoors. Sending an early shout out to all the moms. “We have a secret in our culture, and it’s not that birth…
I didn’t end up with what I thought I wanted. What I thought I wanted was that job I applied for 10 years ago. But the Maker of Plans had something different in mind for me. To stay put. Next week marks my 20th anniversary at White & Case. A workplace I can call my…

And just like that, Easter Sunday is upon us to end this great spiritual season. I hope your Lenten journey has brought you closer to God. I want to wish those of you who share in my faith a very blessed Holy Thursday, Good Friday and Easter Sunday. What are you thankful for today? Until…
Today’s Zen moment brought to you by…. I love the Zen moments shown on TV, with those relaxing scenes of beauty and quiet that are supposed to launch us into some kind of peaceful state.

Happy Pi (π) Day. Now, chillax! Today’s post is a reminder of something most of us know all too well: Stress can kill, in an infinite number of ways.
