Greetings friends, I’ve been away for a little while. I’ve been working long hours at my law firm and took some time to visit our home in Florida for a week during the fourth of July, we made some nice memories with our family sitting around talking and watching fireworks on Siesta Key Beach. A few days ago I enjoyed a picnic at my favorite botanical garden in Sonoma. Summer has been really lovely so far.
There are a few new things in the works right now, and some shifts that will occur soon. I’m a few steps closer to the idyllic life I’m creating for myself and my family. I can’t announce quite yet, but all of it has been worth the wait and is the result of persistence and hard work. I’ll share those updates once they are finalized. I hope all of you are enjoying your summer too, finding relaxation and rest and moments of peace.
