THE SWEET SPOT / WHEN YOUR KIDS ARE LITTLE AND YOUR PARENTS ARE HEALTHY 

I’m not sure if I heard this on the podcast or on the Breńe Brown Netflix special the other night. Either way, download both. Breńe Brown is brilliant. And clearly has a way with words. Like profound. Literally, she researches all the things we’re too busy and quite honestly, too vulnerable to research. Things like vulnerability. And shame. And it’s funny, once you hear her evaluate these terms in the most adolescent conversational form, everything you thought you knew about life, seems less difficult. Less painful. It makes sense. In other words, she makes it easy for you by conjuring up truth and speaking it straight to your face. And then she says things like this: “Enjoy that sweet spot when your kids are little and your parents are healthy.” Sigh. And then you go and cry a puddle of tears on the bathroom floor. At least that’s what I did. 

ROAD TRIP TO PA PAW

My nanny is currently in Kona, Hawaii. My bestie is in Tulum with her husband. Another friend just landed back in Nashville from Skiing the perfect powder with her family in Montana. And we are currently at a truck stop with a flat tire somewhere outside of Atlanta.

There’s a time and place for all seasons of your life. For a first time solid kiss under a Hawaiian sunset, for a long Italian staycation, or for a forever honeymoon with your lover. And then there’s the baby season.
