This weekend was filled with two things that are very important to me—time at the barn and time with my grandmother. Yesterday was my grandmother’s 95th birthday. While birthdays have never been meaningful to her, this one held a special…
Personal Growth in Your 30s
I’m coming off the high of celebrating my birthday earlier this week. In the interest of full disclosure, I have had mixed feelings about this birthday for a while. I think it’s a combination of turning another year older (although…
A Quick Birthday Getaway…
I recently returned home from the quickest getaway ever—less than 24 hours in Montauk—to celebrate my birthday. While it may have been a short stay (ahh, the life of a caregiver), it was a much-needed change of scenery. On Saturday…
Dear You at 36
I am a couple of years behind on what has become an annual tradition—writing a note to myself on my birthday (apparently, the last note I wrote was when I turned 33). The past two years were nothing like what…
Memories from Montauk
I turned 34-years-old a week ago and decided to embark on a little 24-hour getaway to Montauk on the east end of Long Island to celebrate. While my birthday looked very different this year—there was no going out to dinner…

Dear You at 33
Today is your 33rd trip around the sun. You are no stranger to this ride by now, yet you still marvel at the journey each and every year. And, what a journey it has been. Ten years ago, you were just…
The Birthday Month Recap
Like all things, even my birthday month must come to a close. This birthday exceeded any expectations I could have had for how I would welcome my 32nd trip around the sun. I was elated to be offered fabulous opportunities…
A Letter to My 32-Year-Old Self
As I wrote the title for this post, I had to sit down and calculate the years to see if I was indeed turning 32 today. Well, it turns out, I am. I’m surprised each year when my birthday rolls…
The Birthday Countdown
