Savoring Summer

As I sat down to write this message to you, I started preparing to launch into September already, turning the page on August. Charging ahead, guns blazing as this is one of my superpowers, after all! 

 And then I paused and thought about how I am feeling and the conversations I’ve been having with clients, family & friends. About moments, transitions and next big steps:

😎 Finally! diving into that much anticipated summer vacation

🥺 Getting prepared to drop off your baby off at college

🤩 Hanging out with your (big!) grandkids and marveling at how they are coming into their own

🫣 New beginnings & bittersweet endings

😳 Not to mention, my first born is 6’2 and will be a SENIOR this year!

So, instead of rushing in, what if we just take a breath, slow down, and truly enjoy these last days of summer the best we can. The pause is powerful.

For me, it’s morning coffee with my husband & pup. Taking in the sunset. Tasting my dinner and enjoying our family chatter after a busy day. Special time caring for my Mama after her surgery. Really listening to my boys as they talk about their day…not to correct but to connect. The vigorous pace that gets that complex deal done. I’m drinking in these moments. Slowing down to BE there. 

These seemingly “ordinary” moments are the true magic of life—they create and embody its richness. The experiences we have with those we love and making time for our favorite passions and the things that fill us up are what we are all working for anyway, aren’t they? 

So, instead of skipping ahead and fueling the frenzy, I hope you’ll join me in these last days of August and set your own pace. Soak up the sun on that vacation or day off. Hug your amazing college student (or senior!) a little longer as you whisper those loving reminders. Truly focus on the most important. Cherish the conversations and the memories you’re making. You’ll never regret it.

Let’s savor the moments. J'aime
