Hello LoVers,


Today is my birthday! I'm always especially reflective around my birthday, my children's birthdays and most holidays. Okay, fine... I'm almost always emotionally vulnerable, sensitive and reflective. You got me :)


But today, more than anything, I'm celebrating! I'm celebrating that I'm alive! I'm celebrating my children, my work that means so much to me, the people I love and all the love that already exists in my life. And I hope you're taking time to CELEBRATE THE LOVE IN YOUR LIFE, too.

Our love lives, work lives and family lives are so completely woven together. When one part of us grows, heals or changes, it touches everything else.


The love we SEE + FEEL IN OUR LIVES affects how we show up for ourselves and in turn for our people. The way we care for ourselves influences what we create in our work and the people we allow close can either make our whole world feel safer or slowly pull us away from ourselves.


With every trip around the sun, I think less about the number and more about who I'm becoming.


Life has taught me that growth doesn't always look like achievement. Sometimes it's softening. Letting go. Accepting what is. Forgiving yourself for what you didn't know before you learned it.


And love is not only something we find in another person. (Read that again.)


Love is allowing ourselves to be fully seen. It's accepting people for who they are while loving ourselves enough to recognize what is and isn't meant for us. It's having faith that WHAT IS MEANT FOR YOU WILL NOT PASS BY YOU.


I practice a walk in gratitude every day, even while still wanting more. Gratitude and desire coexist.


We can deeply appreciate the life and love we have today while still holding hope for everything our hearts know is possible.


I'm incredibly grateful for all of you who have allowed me into your inboxes and sometimes into the most vulnerable parts of your (love) lives.


Thank you for reading, replying, sharing your stories and growing alongside me.


My birthday wish for all of us is simple: May we become more accepting of who we are, more intentional about who we allow close and brave enough to keep choosing love. xo

Singles Spotlight: Is HE Your Match?

WOMEN, ages 30-35, in CT/NY/NJ...Are you feminine, nurturing, playful, and curious? Are you warm, caring, and comfortable in your own skin? Are you spontaneous?


If this sounds like you, you might be a match for my curious client, M. M reads, thinks deeply, and can become fascinated by almost anything, from the details of his business to the world around him. He enjoys learning from people of all ages and has maintained close relationships with mentors and friends who have influenced him throughout his life. He also enjoys getting out into the world—traveling, discovering new places, going to restaurants, and experiencing something different. Although naturally introverted, he can be social, enjoys a good time, and has a playful side that comes out with the right person. Most importantly, M wants a relationship built on trust, loyalty, shared values, and a genuine desire to build a family.


If you are a good match and are interested in learning more, email me!


HOT TOPIC: Forbidden Love

We usually feel guilty after doing something forbidden. Forbidden love often has the opposite effect. It can feel exhilarating, meaningful, and intensely alive. Why are people so attracted to romantic boundaries they know they should not cross?


Read about it here and tell me what you think!

TOP 3: Reasons We Miss People Who Aren't Right for Us

  1. We Idealize the Past: Longing for a former lover often has a utopian quality. We are drawn not only to what once existed, but also to what we wish had existed. Memory and imagination can create a version of the past that is more attractive than reality ever was.

  2. A Desirable Person Is Not Necessarily a Compatible Partner: Someone may possess many admirable qualities and still be poorly suited as a long-term partner for a particular person. Conversely, two imperfect individuals may create an exceptional relationship because they bring out the best in each other.

  3. Love and Life Do Not Always Pull in the Same Direction: Romantic compromises often involve sacrificing some romantic value, such as passion, intimacy, or excitement, in order to preserve other important values, including psychological well-being, personal freedom, family stability, security, or professional fulfillment.
