{Sloan celebrating National Lion Day last week}

I like to keep things light and fun on this site, but the current atmosphere in our country and around the world is impossible to ignore. I shared some thoughts on Charlottesville earlier this week and after the events in Barcelona, the pervasive feeling I have is disgust. As a relatively new parent, I'm fortunate that Sloan isn't aware of the hatred that currently permeates much of our society, but my hope is through love and understanding, we can create a better world for our children. That being said, I'll continue to try to find the balance of sharing inspiring and positive content, if, for no other reason, it helps give me a break from the dark news cycle. Give your loved ones a hug and have a great weekend.

I've never been a great traveler. Beyond the anxiety I have leading up to a trip, I panic about the silliest things: if I've forgotten my I.D. (I check no less than five times on my way to the airport), whether I'll be jet lagged, and if my coat will be warm enough. I was in New ...read more

Since it was Sloan's second week back at school, I suppose it's no surprise that the whole family now has a cold. It was a nice, mellow week though, with a birthday celebration for G at an Italian restaurant in Venice (Felix), much more progress on our office (shelving units are ...read more
