Another Beautiful Family Gathering!🌼🍃🕊💞
This time it was my Dad's 95th Birthday Celebration!🎉
It was mostly a surprise to him. He had no clue I was in town....his younger brother (83 years old) and his wife also surprised him, plus tons of famiy and friends.
The mood was very festive on the beautiful rooftop lounge in North Bethesda. We had a great Ethiopian Caterer ( CherCher from Bethesda) and the food was delicious!
My Dad took it all in stride and loved every minute of it!
I stayed at my brother's place in Washington DC and enjoyed the Opera at The Kennedy Center...Orthello; several of my favorite museums, lunches and dinners with friends.
I had a beautiful time with my two youngest nephews...when they were younger it would be lunch and a movie at iPic, but now that they are 15 years old....it's dinner and a movie at iPic! They still enjoy the "Ninjas" serving them as they watch the movie.
I happened to visit the Holocaust Museum with one of my younger nephews (a school project) and WoW...it was a sad reality of the human condition. I was moved with pure sadness for the victims, survivors and even for the ones who had only evil in their hearts.
A trip to Poland is in my future.
It was great to be back in the DMV area!
Cheers to your next family gathering!🕊🌼🍃💞

And Just Like That...Summer is Over!🌼🍃🐞
What a wonderful summer this has been!!!
I was so busy, living, loving, laughing and just being... that I totally forgot to write about it.
Back in July, I volunteered at the Art and Craft booth for Vacation Bible School. One solid week of fun with the neighborhood kids.
We made giraffes, lion masks, ate ice cream, sang songs and sooo much fun!
There were lunches, dinners and lots of little parties with a bunch of wonderful new friends.
It is awesome to have a great beach fairly close during the hot summer months.
Now it's time to get serious about planning my Dad's 95th Birthday party for next month!
I expect that it will be pure fun and joy with friends and family.
I hope you had a wonderful, glorious summer as I did!🍃🌼🐞🍧

🎬🎥🎬The Second Act....🎬🎥🎬
🦋"Perhaps the butterfly is proof
that you can go through a great
deal of darkness yet become
something beautiful..."🦋
To my great JOY and SURPRISE....my second act is spectacularly better than my first!!!
Sure, I had the dream job..which didn't feel a day like work...because I absolutely loved what I did.....It still came with anxieties, deadlines, and a host of other external issues I had no control over (life), but it was the absolute best job!
I traveled a lot....Morocco, Ethiopia, a large portion of Europe (lived in Italy for several months), the Caribbean....you name it...I have been there. More travel plans are the horizon too.
I even snagged an invite to the wedding of the nephew of the King of Morocco! That was just sooo awesome!
There were some sadness and disappointments too...a mostly bad marriage, two miscarriages, two brain surgeries, divorce, no longer able to work.
It's amazing to me that it was the sadness and disappointments that made me want to be better, happier, more authentic.
Being happy doesn't mean that everything is perfect. It means that I have decided to look beyond the imperfections.
As I write this I realize even more how blessed I have been....the first act was AWESOME and by any measure, I could have been satisfied with it alone, even with the sad times...but I have been doubly blessed with an even more awesome second act!!
My life is just beautiful, and just PURE AWESOMENESS now!
What ever, you are going through right now, DO NOT give up.....your BETTER is coming!
"You have to choose to be better when disappointments and adversities strike. It wont happen like magic either. ..you have to commit and work hard at it...but the results are beautiful as you evolve and grow."
Be deliberate as you go about living your best life.
Life is AWESOME! Don't just exist....Get out there and LIVE it!!
