As I sit in our coffee nook enjoying my morning coffee, I can't help but think-- what a difference a year makes.

One year today we moved into our Kennebunk home surrounded by 100 boxes and furniture everywhere. We had dreamed of this move, but you never really know what a new place will bring:) A year later we couldn't feel more at home. Wonderful neighbors, a welcoming community, new friendships, writing, books, wine club, workouts, beach walks, a church community and so much more to explore!

Feeling grateful for finding our special place. Cheers to one year here- and all that's still ahead!

After 2 weeks away I'm home. First, helping with grandkids in Boston and then to Virginia to help my mom with her move.

Family always come first-- but there are moments when I felt exhausted. That's when I return to a simple shift in perspective that has helped me and my clients over the years:

Instead of "I have to," try "I get to."
I get to spend time my children and grandchildren in this season of their lives.

I get to help my mom sort through old photos, family treasures, pack up a home filled with 14 years of memories, and begin a new chapter.

Most of all, I get to still have my mom here, relatively healthy and share this time with her❤️

And now I get to be home, walk around the beach as the clouds roll in--finding inspiration in the ever changing sky to write, reflect and paint!

Sometimes our circumstances don't change, but how we see them can.

This popped up in my journal today and it really resonated with me. I have a list today as I prepare for another trip to VA. A nice reminder to take in all that today has to offer. What are you taking in today. Always small gifts along the way-- we just have to notice them.

Sandy Demarest of Demarest Directions, co-author of Midlife New Life: Living Consciously in Midlife and Beyond, will be at Lupine Books in Kennebunkport on Thursday, April 2nd, from 5:30-7pm for an evening of conversation, connection, and book signing.
As we navigate midlife and beyond—and the many transitions that come with it—we have an opportunity to embrace what’s possible… and perhaps step into a new beginning. ✨
Join us—we’d love to see you there. 💛

There is something so good for the soul about time in nature. 🌿
Woods and coastline. Long walks and big views.
Sweet time with our daughter and son-in-law in beautiful Ojai.
And a road trip to Morro Bay with stunning scenery and space for play.

It struck me how, as we get older, we often become more serious. We carry more. We plan more. We worry more.
And sometimes… we play less.
But play opens something in us.
It creates space for possibility.
It reminds us we are still growing, still becoming.

If you’ve been feeling the nudge to reflect on what’s next — and maybe invite a little more joy and lightness into your days — our upcoming Paths to Possibilities retreat is a beautiful place to begin. https://bit.ly/4s2f6Fu

More play. More purpose. More possibility.
And yes… we are not done yet. 💛
