2019... what a year. It was full of challenges, but ultimately it will go down as a year I’m incredibly proud of. I moved into a new office, said goodbye to the house at the end of the cul-de-sac that had been my home for 32 years, moved into a new apartment, obtained my Lagree certification, made new friendships, nurtured old friendships, traveled near and far by myself!! And somewhere in the middle of all of that, I brought 131 new lives into the world.
2019 was a pretty good year. Bring it on #2020

Tradition: the transmission of customs or beliefs from generation to generation.
For as long as I can remember, my Mom would take me to see “The Nutcracker” every year for Christmas, often with other childhood friends and their mothers. It was our tradition. For the last 4 years, I’ve been fortunate enough to carry it on with my dear friend of 30 years. It has become OUR tradition for one very simple reason: we make it a priority every single year. That’s what keeps traditions alive, they don’t just happen on their own.
This time last year, my dear friend had just entered her second trimester of pregnancy, and guess who her Ob was? Over dinner, as we chatted about how exciting and special it was to be going through this experience together, we imagined the day that we would be able to pass our tradition on to her unborn daughter. Here we are, 1 year later all together again. And while miss Ellie didn’t actually join us for the ballet this year, I look forward to the day that we get to see it for the first time again through her eyes.
