A few months ago my mom was in town visiting me. I had an event over the weekend that I took her to; happy to have her experience what I do. Before heading to the event I was having one of those I have nothing to wear moments. My mom, as moms do, swoops in and saves the day by letting me wear her new gingham two-piece set from J.McLaughlin. Yes I am wearing my mother’s clothes to an event, but truthfully I would buy/wear this myself. Gingham is ageless and so are these two pieces.

Now that Wimbledon has come and go and the US Open is just around the corner, I have tennis fever. Last year, after a 25 year hiatus, I took lessons at Midtown Tennis. I was a little rusty at first getting back into the game but now I am confident that I am the next Serena Williams.

Now that I am practically a pro I have been shopping for tennis attire– can’t be a professional without looking cute and on trend. The item I am most coveting is a tennis dress. Comfortable to throw on and easy to move in. I can wear it when I am on the court and when I am off the court running errands pretending I just came from a match. Although this summer my skills have not been put to great use, I am hoping to take lessons again this fall. Until then, shopping for tennis attire will have to satisfy my fever.

“Act in such a manner that you are living proof of a loving God”

Happy Friday! A lot went on this week, but most importantly a lot of self care happened. Last week when I went to the sound bath event at Bando NYC, one of the things Abigail said was to expect a strong surge of emotions. This is because you are releasing whatever is blocked inside you. Unfortunately for me this meant that I was extremely critical of myself. I was angry about everything in life, and then I was angry that I was angry and couldn’t stop. Usually if I am criticizing myself I can take a step back and let it go. This I couldn’t let go. I wanted to be critical, I needed to. In a way I believe this was me releasing negative emotions to make room for healing and more positivity. The things I was saying to myself I didn’t even believe really, I just needed to think it. Luckily for everyone who came in contact with me I was nice to– only mad at myself. This lasted for a little longer than I wanted to. It wasn’t until I attended the Almost30 Podcast event when we received Reiki healing that I finally stopped.  And now am as positive, chipper, and full of love as can be!
