Medical Advances! My knee(s) are busted everyone. Like need surgery busted. When I had the first one fixed at age 18 it was a brutal and miserable recovery. I am promised that now, some years later, the surgery for the other knee is much better. While the recovery will still be so long, it hopefully won't be as hard. So today I am grateful for medical advances that make all of this possible.
Books books books. Love them all. Books are where I can learn, escape, laugh, love, cry, feeeeeellllllll. I love reading. Always have and always will.
Central Air Conditioning. I don't have it. I have a 100 year old house with no ducts and lots of other things to fix first. When I go anywhere that does have it though, I am so incredibly grateful. This heat wave is trying to break me and I'm hear for all of the central AC.
Dating shows, the sillier the better. I don't really have a good reason to love these shows. I just do. The drama. The nonsense. The cringe. The possibility for love. I want it all.
This week in our deluge of how-tos for living our limitless lives we are talking about the hard topic of wills, end of life planning, and talking to loved ones about it all. Tune in Wednesday for all the info!
The privilege of taking vacations. I didn't get to take a lot of vacations as a kid and it was something that I always felt ... less than about. I am so grateful to 1) have a partner who values travel as much as I do, and 2) have the capacity to actually take those travels together. It is a joy and a privilege.
We are very lucky to live where we live and one of the main reasons is because of the town pool. I was never a member of a pool growing up and it is such a treat at the end of a long week to be able to head to the pool for a quick swim. Even more fun when a little storm goes through and the pool clears out.
How are you kicking off the weekend?
Lucky you! You’re just in time to join tomorrow’s women’s circle. We’d love to have you! Sisterhood, celebration, gratitude, and fun! The link is in the bio. Check it out. 💖
Whether it’s for a networking event or as a reward for a walk I love my local coffee shops. We are so lucky where we live to have so many local spots and I visit them all!
I love hydrangeas. I can barely spell them. I certainly can’t grow them, but I can’t resist taking a picture of them whenever I see them. Especially blue ones. I don’t know what happened during a former life or my childhood, but it must have been something good, because it had made me love these flowers. 🩵
About 7 or 8 years ago, I realized our neighboring town had what looked like to be a fantastic 4th of July parade. I always forgot so I put a reminder in my calendar for the following year. Now it’s a family tradition. There’s music. Candy thrown from floats. Patriotism. And when necessary, dissent.
What is your favorite 4th of July tradition?
It’s no secret that I love parks and one of my favorites is Central Park. Not just because objectively it’s a great park, but also, and perhaps more importantly, because it pops up in the middle of a very bustling city. No matter the time of year it provides an amazing view of respite from the outside world.

Last night I was lucky enough to attend our 25th high school reunion. The first part of the evening we all acted like the real grown ups that we are, but by the second half of the evening it seemed that we really were still in high school. There is something really special about reuniting with people who knew you when you were young, to remind you how much fun it is to have fun. 🤩
I am so grateful for how far our culture and society has come, and for all the people out there pushing for more. Pushing for true equality. I am grateful to advocates because it is so hard to keep going. I appreciate the people out there working every day to make our lives and society better.
We accidentally had a week without summer camp. It was hard. I am so grateful for summer camps, camp counselors, people with so much energy and excitement who fill my kids days with magic. I am so grateful for camp, and the privilege of being able to send my kids to camp. It is truly life changing for all of us.

I am grateful for friends who love my kids as if they are family. For people who continue to show up for me in my life, whether I ask them to or not. I am thankful for the people who are like backup parents to my kids. The people that check in and ensure that all is well or as well as it can be. For trips to town, rides to practices, swims, BBQs and hangouts. I love the village I am building and I am so grateful for it.
I am grateful for the first sip of coffee each morning. There are a million reasons for that gratitude. Not only do I truly love coffee, I love the ritual of making coffee. The quiet I try to get in before the house is up and chaotic. The way that steam comes off the cup. The memories from each mug (we buy them on vacation) - so where we bought it, what we were doing, how much fun we had. There are so many good memories, feelings, thoughts, connections with coffee. I am thankful for all of them.
I am grateful for all the weirdness in the world. The way that people express themselves, the bizarre quirks we all have, the things that add color to our lives. I love an unexpected conversation that leaves me thinking, a squirrel lamp in the living room, a funny pair of socks. Life is too short to waste it hiding your weird. Let it all out.
❤️
I am grateful for crafting with my family. The time spent together being creative is good for my spirit. We do a lot of sports in my family, so much sports. When we take time out to do something that is creative in this way it is magical. I am grateful every time I can convince my kids to join me!
This week we are talking about distractions. We might go a little beyond the how-to be comfortable without distractions and dive into the why are you using distractions. While you wait for our new episode to come out, let us know what your biggest distraction is in the comments.
I am thankful for minor league baseball games, summer fun with the family, and the opportunities to create core memories. I was never really into baseball but now my kids are and so here we are. It was way more fun than I anticipated and we will be back again!
Today I am grateful for the sunshine on my porch in the morning. The quiet moment that provides a bit of peace and ease in an otherwise challenging season. There are a lot of things that I don't love about this house that we have but the porch is a real life saver.

Interview day!! In this Season 10 of We Go Boldly we are all about the how-tos. One of the things that Tovah and I both struggle with is skin care routines. It's overwhelming, confusing, and full of promises. We decided that a how-to on skin care is a necessary part of this season. What we didn't realize, is how much more this conversation would become. We do talk about skin care and routines, but more importantly we talk all about taking chances, believing in yourself, and doing what fills your purpose. To that end, we have an amazing guest for you all today. She is here to talk to us about her life journey and how it led her to where she is now. Without further…let us introduce Sophie Marcopoulos of Sophie the Esthetician & MUA . Sophie is a dedicated esthetician, makeup artist and salon owner specializing in wedding makeup and adult acne.

Toxic positivity is not the answer BUT negative outlooks and voices in our mind are also not the answer. Not all true statements are helpful. Not all thoughts are true. At the end of the day, we all can work toward having more positive self-talk. This week on our We Go Boldly season of how-to we are talking about stopping the cycle of negative self-talk. We can stop hiding behind the idea that thoughts are truths, ideas are realities, and that mean person talking to you knows what they are talking about. Negative self-talk can worsen anxiety and depression, hurt your relationships with the people around you, and impact your self-esteem. Most people do not respond well to negative motivation in the long run. What can we do instead? Tune in to today’s episode to learn more about how to change that negative outlook and monologue into something more productive. From talking back to your mean voice to creating power statements (mantras) to combat the negativity we have ideas to help you change the way you think. #PositiveMindset #SelfTalk #SelfImprovement #PersonalGrowth #PositivityPodcast #MindsetShift #PositiveThinking #InnerDialogue #SelfLove #Empowerment #Mindfulness #PositiveChange #InnerStrength #BelieveInYourself #SelfEmpowerment #PositiveVibes #MindsetMatters #ChangeYourThoughts #SelfAwareness #SelfAcceptance #PositiveAttitude #GrowthMindset #OvercomeNegativity #PositiveSelfTalk #PodcastEpisode #TransformYourMind #YouAreEnough #BeKindToYourself
Do you have a retirement plan in place? Are you overwhelmed even talking about the possibility? Drop a comment with your dream retirement plan in the comments and tune in to today's episode with the incredible Pavelko Senior Consulting! This is the season of how-to. Today we are tackling a challenging conversation, how-to talk about retirement planning. Retirement and end of life planning can be fraught with emotional chaos. Talking about it with your parents or your kids can potentially make that even harder. To that end, we have an amazing interview for you all today. She is here to talk to us about her life journey and how it led her to where she is now. She is going to help us all better understand how to plan your own retirement, end of life decisions, and also talk to your parents about these topics. . Jessica Pavelko, lifelong Lancaster County resident, founded her business, Pavelko Senior Consulting Services in December 2006. After working years in the retirement community industry she found there was a gap in the education component of understanding all of the options that existed in the community that was best suited for an individual based on their social preferences, short and long term needs, finances, and so much more. She started the business with the intent to educate aging adults and empower them to make informed decisions as they pursue retirement living options. During her years in business, she served as a Chamber Ambassador, served on the Board of Directors for Lancaster County Estate Planning Council and Love INC and wrote a regular column in Lancaster County Magazine and Lancaster County Women publications. In 2014, Jessica took a step back from the business to raise her children. Although still an active and devoted wife and mother, Jessica reopened her business in 2021 and now serves on the Board of Trustees for Penn Medicine Lancaster General Health Foundation and serves in other capacities throughout Lancaster County.

Co-parenting is often challenging, overwhelming, exhausting. It can be extremely rewarding too. Today on We Go Boldly we are walking through the how-to of co-parenting. There are no easy answers to this how-to. There are, however, some great tips and information to help us better understand the process and how we can find our own peace in the process. We discuss three different types of co-parenting; conflicted, cooperative, and parallel. We talk over the details of each type, why they occur and how to manage whatever co-parenting situation you are in now. Regardless of the type of co-parenting you are involved in, it will require managing the relationship with the other parent so that you can show up, be on the same team, and support your child the best way you are able. We also go over some tips for success, such as using open communication, having a plan, and talking and listening to your children. There are a host of other good do’s and don’ts included in today's episode. Make sure to tune in where you listen to podcasts today.
