Cup of Soup

I have decided to return to writing my column after a long sabbatical. I originally started this venture with the intent to share my small tidbits of wisdom and insight on everyday things based on conversations I was privy to over the lunch hour.

The intent remains the same but I have broadened my scope to include all conversations I've had with others, including my mentors, those I am mentoring, sages, crones, children, people from all walks of life,  business owners, like-minded souls, and those who disagree, but whose opinions I still greatly respect. And some conversations even with myself.

I feel like we can draw from our collective experiences and apply what we are learning to various phases in our lives. The timing of my journalistic return it is not a coincidence. 

Over the course of this past summer, I had the amazing privilege to marry nine couples!  2018 was "The Summer of Love" and here are some of the special words I shared at the altar from various ceremonies across the northeast.

First and foremost, love is simple...find someone that loves you and sees you for you and do the same.

Secondly; sometimes it's perfectly acceptable to eat the cake first! 

Next; there comes a time when you have to follow your heart and not your family.

Which leads me to my next observation; sometimes love isn't so simple.

My final conclusions are this; one, if you have the rare privilege to connect with your twin soul do whatever is necessary to make that person your best friend and when the opportunity arises..MARRY THEM PERIOD! 

And at last, if after all this time your heart still calls for someone then it was always meant to be! 

May you all be surprised this week by a beautiful sunset!

Live, Love, and Laughter! Enjoy the soup du jour!

Cup of Soup, Volume 2

This month's topic was a true struggle for me. I absolutely love fall and all of the changes it brings. Halloween has always had a special place in my heart. So I considered writing about the masks that we wear and why sometimes it's hard to be our real selves. But I quickly realized that  my heart wasn't going to be able to do that subject much justice. Why? Here's where I really had to sit down with myself and examine some of my current attitudes and feelings. November is the month of thanksgiving and gratitude, but my life has been plagued with chaos and turmoil. We are only a few days in and already I've had to move my office, readjust my finances, attend a funeral, and help a friend through a terrible ordeal. I was feeling extremely overwhelmed and not at all grateful.  I started wondering if I was the only one feeling these things. Many of my colleagues, coworkers, and clients confirmed that they were feeling this way too.  What are we supposed to do with
