It's funny how some moments in life
can make you stop in your tracks
and
see things in a different perspective.
After over ten years of ownership
we sold our beloved Airstream this weekend.
As much as we loved it
we used it so infrequently
we just couldn't on any level
justify the cost.
So it now lives in a most beautiful part of Santa Monica
opening a brand new chapter with it's new owner …
as Jeff and I close a chapter of our own.
The finality of closing our Airstream chapter
reiterates again
how our child rearing chapters are truly closed.
And I realized this weekend
I have spent so much time pining over each child
as they have grown and flown
that
I have never truly looked forward …
to put together a vivid plan
for this second half with Jeff and I.

All of a sudden there is a lightness with the future possibilities.
Jeff and I have made it through some rocky times
as parenting can be hard on a marriage.
We have come out the other end
still together
with
a whole future
in front of us.
This weekend offered me some moments
of clarity
regarding my future.
It hit me that in 9 short years
I will be 65.
In fifteen I will be 71.
Ages and numbers
I really haven't thought through at all.
And
it all seems to be going so very fast.
But I do know it is
my intent is
to live them fully and passionately.
So I will put even more focus on
health and longevity.
It's kind of a beautiful thing
to look towards a future
that is yet to be scripted …
Especially knowing I get to still hold close
my loves ...
while I reach out for
the best of what is to be.
I will make aging
and
my next chapters
my Art.
I will head into growing older
with
courage, passion and graceful intent.
As always my friends
I wish you love and joy
as you style your life
