We women, or at least me, give our guys hard time for not being always present, for saying the wrong thing in the wrong time, for parenting in a certain way I don't always approve of, for forgetting important dates, for leaving crumbs on the table, for being late for dinner, for biking half a day, for leaving the underwear in the bathroom and for taking most of the blanket at night. But if I manage to pause and remember why I love him; The kind man he is, how generous and patient (with me too) he is, how much he loves my kids (that are not his), and my family, how much I love our trips together and eat...
It's that time of the year where we see many graduate students in the streets. It makes me think about the many graduations we go through in life. School graduation is only the beginning of so many transitions and teachings. Leaving home was one big graduation, transitioning into young adulthood. I remember graduating my younger self at around age 40 (late bloomer) when I suddenly felt grown up, not needing my friends’ or family’s approval which I relied on so much earlier in my life. Graduating my role as mother as my young kids grew into capable adults going through their life journeys on their own. I recognized the desire and need to transition into a different kind of parent...
We all have ways to stay sane and grounded in our hectic world. One of the things I find helpful is setting intentions. It is especially helpful when working in a team where we each bring our own story, triggers, baggage and personality. I like to get a feel of everyone at the beginning of a meeting so I ask that we each share our moods by saying something like what color or animal we are today (we know to tread lightly with the person who answered red or a lion that day :) Last week we shared what our mantras were at that moment. They are: Yael, President: "Trust the process"Fatima, Sales Manager: "No regrets"Alin, Marketing: "Own it"Gennifer, Copywriter: “It’s...

I am 55 today. The older I get, the happier my birthdays are. I don't necessarily celebrate with parties or big plans, just feeling very happy to still be around. It's a gift to see my kids grow to be independent, it's a gift to have them out of the house and to enjoy my time alone, it's a gift to have my body still functioning well. I don't have the same body as in my 20's but I wouldn’t go back there even if you paid me ;-) I love being wiser, I love to need less with age, and I love to be able to choose who I want to hang out with and to be Ok...
