Chapters

These moments are just chapters, paragraphs even, in your story.

Nothing is forever and nothing need define you, not unless you allow it to.

Keep your story’s heroine (that’s you) fluid.

Let her stumble,

let her grow,

let her break

and let her flow.

Keep writing lines, keep turning pages, keep evolving and growing that multi-dimensional character.

We are rooting for her.

She’s not done yet,

nowhere near. 

These moments are just chapters, paragraphs even, in your life-long, wholly human, completely unique story.

Chapters…don’t mistake them for the ending.

Life lately

Julia went to the Cape for a few days with her Endicott friends...

Gianna went to the NEDA dance recital. I can't believe it's already been a year since her last recital...

I went to dinner with Julia's friends Moms, Lynne & Joanna. Love these ladies...

Mikey snoozing in Julia's bed...

He always looks so freaking cute when he sleeps...

Danny and I went to my bosses daughter's wedding on the Jersey Shore. The weather was absolutely perfect and we had the best time. It was a fun 24 hour getaway! We had lunch...

then a quick trip to the beach for a little rest and sunshine...

then we got dressed for the wedding that was right on the beach...

We cleaned up nicely...

and enjoyed cocktails with these gorgeous views of the bay...

and we danced the night away...

Car accident

Gianna got into a pretty nasty car accident right before we left for our trip. She had a green light and was driving straight through an intersection when a commercial van T-boned her taking a left turn. She was very shook up obviously.  Her driver side window blew out so she was covered in glass and got cuts all over her left side of her face and neck. She also got some pretty good bruises too and a cut on her leg. It's hard not to feel anger at the person who hit her so carelessly. The car is totaled : (
