Something is Coming — And I've Never Been More Ready

Image
  I have been sitting with this idea for a long time. Longer than I want to admit, actually. You know that feeling when something keeps coming back to you, in the quiet moments, on a long walk, in the middle of an ordinary Tuesday, and you realize it isn't going away because it isn't supposed to? That's been this. Many of you have followed my journey through healing, writing, wellness, faith, and travel. Along the way, I've discovered something powerful: sometimes the greatest growth happens when we step away from our routines long enough to hear ourselves again. That's why I'm excited to share that I am creating a series of retreat experiences designed to help others reconnect with what matters most. And I'm not doing it alone. I'm bringing Jackie Dufresne of Rooted Strength Yoga on board as my retreat partner. Jackie has been teaching yoga and Pilates since 2014, helping women build strength, confidence, balance, and well-being through acce...

Nerve Damage Recovery: What No One Tells You About Healing

Image
A personal account of cold injury, nerve recovery, and learning to let the body lead. My first ski day of the season. The second run of the morning. And everything changed. It was around 19 degrees at the base, colder as the lift climbed higher. A typical New England winter day. Nothing I hadn't handled before. What I didn't account for was stillness. Unlike normal skiing, where your body is constantly generating heat through movement, I was suspended, unable to move, unable to warm myself. Prolonged exposure without movement is a completely different animal. Cold is cold. A mechanical failure left me stuck on that chairlift, in cold, wet conditions, for about two hours. By the time ski patrol reached me, I wasn't okay. At the time, I didn’t realize this would be my last full ski day... What surprised me What I didn't expect was that it didn't end when I was rescued. In the days that followed, my body was still processing what had happened. T...

Les Bassins de Lumières Bordeaux: Inside the Famous Digital Art Museum in France

Image
Les Bassins de Lumières in Bordeaux is a place where history and art collide in the most unforgettable way. Located in an old port district north of Bordeaux, this enormous building once served as a submarine base during World War II. It was originally built for Italian submarines, a massive structure designed to disappear from view. The scale of it is hard to comprehend until you’re standing inside. At its peak, 32 submarines could hide beneath the structure’s bomb-proof, iron-reinforced concrete roof , nearly nine feet thick. The space was built by an estimated 6,500 workers , many of whom were Spanish laborers, including Republican prisoners. The building itself was reinforced by 2,000 concrete piles driven deep into the ground, a reminder of both the engineering and the human cost behind its creation. Today, the building still feels cold, dark, damp, and water-filled. The air carries a heaviness. You can feel the magnitude of what once existed there, as if the walls never full...

Where's Waldo?

From Portugal to Paradise: Finding Zen in Chacala, Mexico Where’s Waldo? Remember the beloved character created by Martin Handford , brought to life in the 1991 animated series with Townsend Coleman , Jim Cummings, Brad Garrett, and Julian Holloway? That’s honestly how my travels have felt lately, bouncing from one place to the next, always searching for the next adventure, the next moment of wonder. I believe we left off in Portugal , which was a wonderful place to be indeed. So wonderful, in fact, that I’m heading back in September. But after Portugal, I went somewhere completely different. Mexico . My warm-weather bags were already packed, so the transition was easy. I landed back in Boston, stayed for four days, and then it was off to find my version of “Zen.” This trip was exactly what my body and spirit needed, a chance to reset and reconnect through yoga, nourishing meals, long walks on the beach, and early morning volcano sunrises. I flew into Puerto Vallarta and took a ho...
