Today is the day that we celebrate the return to the light- the days getting longer and the nights shorter. The beginning of winter and a time to reflect on the year we had and the year ahead. Happy Solstice!

A well known symbol of the holiday season, December's second flower of the month is Holly. Holly is said to symbolize a wish for domestic harmony. Something that we all wish for, domestic harmony can be strengthened through attention to the details of life, which includes taking the time to plan for what happens in the future, once we are gone or once we cannot make decisions for ourselves. Reach out to an estate planning attorney and find out how we can help.

With a beautiful scent, reminiscent of spring, the paperwhite can easily be encouraged to bloom in just a vase of water, brightening the dark days of December #flowers #bloom

We each have a flower, just like we each have a stone. November's flower is the oft overlooked Chrysanthemum, sometimes known as a "Mum". They're drought tolerant and have long lasting blooms. Lots of things can be easily overlooked, including making plans for what happens when we age. Reach out and let me help you see those details that can be overlooked in planning

Wishing you a season of peace and blessings in the year ahead

On this special day, we celebrate so many different things - all types of family and friends- near an far, our fur babies our big and small babies, the family we came from and the family we have created in our homes and in our community. In the midst of this, in the stillness of this early morning, I reflect on how thankful I am for each of you- my colleagues, my mentors, and the special gratitude I feel to have been able to help each of my clients. I am thankful for each and every one of you. Happy Thanksgiving! #feelingthankful #thanskgiving #familyandfriends #thankfulfor

Some Thanksgiving humor...

I have always appreciated Mister Rogers and the perspective he brings to the world.

As every season begins and ripens, it feels like my favorite. I do adore the crisp beauty of Fall.

Since I go to my clients homes to complete their estate plan signings, sometimes I even get to bring my assistant along for the ride!.
