One night. One prompt. Four tables. Five minutes. ��***�A truly unique experience, The Beauty of Presence invites deep self exploration and deep connection in like-minded community. ��***�We’ll mingle over bubbles and then the room is offered a single prompt, a compelling question about what makes you human. ��***�Each guest gets five minutes to express themselves fully, bathed in the complete presence of their table mates. Five minutes is a long time - and a gift of time. Enough space to ponder the question meaningfully. ��***�We dine on delicious food from and we finish the evening with spontaneous art guided by local artist ��***�Interested? Join us at .world in Walnut Hills on Saturday March 14th! Tix in bio��***�

This time of year can be so busy. Holiday prep, gatherings, and travel. Working to keep the magic of Christmas alive for the children. Rushing and running and feasting and all the things.

I know I often get to Christmas break ready to collapse and deeply needing that time to reset.

But this year, for the first time, I took a little break in the midst of it.

Five days in hocking hills, deep in nature, exploring the gorgeous parks in south central Ohio, putting devices down, and just settling into peacefulness and rest.

I hadn’t been to this region in 20+ years and was in awe of the natural beauty so close to home.

And coming home to be cozied in the most darling A-frame cabin with a hot tub and fire to warm us was magical.

May we all find moments to pause and rest in the midst of this holiday shuffle. To shut down the to-do lists and be present to your own heart, spirit, mind, and tune into your connection to the natural world and the souls that matter to you.

Presence is a practice. This was part of mine.

Happy holidays.

Long overdue, but celebrating this reunion with dear dear friends visiting NYC a few weeks back. These sisters have held me close, laughed with me, grown with me, and known me deeply for almost more years than we can count at this stage. We move through the ups and downs of life but are always there for each other. And this evening over dinner was no different. I cherish you both and miss you already. ❤️

Moved in Friday, first gathering held Sunday ♥️

Grateful to host in this grounding space, and for sisters who swept in to help me get settled and organized, and showered me with flowers and food. (Plus Paloma had her bestie over to play in parallel).

And after their visit, some of our wonderful new neighbors had me over for a Sunday “saketini” night where we got to know each other a bit better. Good souls. Liberals. Creatives. Helpers.

I’ve never felt so welcomed into a new place as I have here. I couldn’t feel more fortunate to have found this home and village for us. 🙏

Ok magic story time about our new home. On July 1 I visited my friends at .world in their new space in Walnut Hills, and started to wax a little nostalgic about when I last lived in that neighborhood 18 years ago.

We’d been here about 6 months in an apartment since arriving from NY, a transitional space in the ‘burbs that had been a good healing container but not our permanent landing pad by any means. I knew we wanted to come closer to the city and thought we’d start looking later this year.

However, on the cancer new moon the week prior, I had set some intentions, including finding a home that was grounding for the kids and I, and also good for gathering and holding space... and written manifestations often don’t want to wait until later in the year 😆✨

So after that meeting at The Well, I popped on Zillow just to peek at the mansions on Madison for fun. And out of nowhere, this little mid century bungalow pops up… and as soon as I saw it I knew.

In May I’d crafted an even more detailed vision for my eventual home: “a place that’s filled with love and art and music and books and pursuits of curiosity and warmth and friends.

A gathering space that feels both inspiring and welcoming, with nature surrounding us. Places to both sit in quiet meditation and in active connection and socialization.”

And we now have a new forever home with all those things and more. In one of my favorite neighborhoods in the city, where the kids have a new school lined up for the long haul here, ready to support them fully. And in barely a month since the house even appeared in my awareness!

I can’t wait to settle in and welcome old friends and new into this space with us. And I promise there are many more magical bits to the story I’ll be happy to share in conversation. Grateful to feel so divinely supported on this part of our journey. ♥️🙏.

(And p.s. these are mostly listing photos - we’re not moved in quite yet. But all the abundant plants stayed behind with us . Magic. 🥰🪴)

Serendipity and synchronicities are all around if you’re open to them.

A big part of what keeps me moving on a magical carpet ride is being open to all of it - eyes and ears and body attuned to noticing and acknowledging what’s available.

Just this weekend, I ran into someone in the last five minutes of a community gathering. We had a mutual (former) employer, a mutual dear friend, a mutual quest for expanded community upon returning to this city which led to hosting shared meal experiences in service of that goal, and a mutual recent foray into learning how to play guitar. Too many things to be a mere coincidence.

We’ll be grabbing coffee soon to explore the connection further. She’ll inevitably come to my first dinner event (Beauty of Presence with .world - linkinbio!). And the next day we were both going to a musical benefit where her guitar instructor was performing, and now I’m chatting with him about becoming my teacher as well 🙏.

And this is only one of a host of magical happenstances that light up the journey of my life. (I’ll share more shortly about our new home that appeared in divine timing last month and which we close on today!)

The life and community forming around me in this new chapter in Cincinnati are just teeming with magic, aligned connections, and synchronicities. Really loving every moment of its unfolding. Come jump on the magic train with me!

Aligned community is everything. And I promise you can call it in if you wish for it.

I’ve got incredible friends from my first chapter in Cincinnati almost 20 years ago. And I’ve also been yearning for soul sisters that traverse some of the spiritual and creative realms with me.

I put the ask to the universe (Cancer new moon, hello) and these gals came pouring in. With wild constellations of connection and signs and synchronicities and commonalities that had us feeling like we’d known each other for years not weeks.

I also have a real sense for energetic alignment with others, and curated this particular crew together for the first time Saturday evening, for a 2nd birthday celebration - and we all hit it off majorly. This girl gang’s first gathering will not be our last.

Grateful for my eternal optimism that never shuts the door on possibilities like this.

Grateful to be building a new chapter and new community here in Cincinnati.
