This Week —

School These days are a bit tough with a return to some anxiety and overwhelm but I hope you are finding time to create little pockets of joy and gratefulness. Here is my new year’s wish for you: May you find something in common with your child that you both love to do together, and may you have the time and space to do so.⁠ It can be often or rarely, 5 minutes or 45. Whatever works for you. Be present in every second and treasure this moment. Simple, imperfect, and genuine.

Listen To —

In an attempt to crack open up those pockets of joy, this week I’ve made you a playlist bursting with energy and swing! Authentic jazz big bands from the 20’s to the 50’s that will get the whole family dancing and grooving! So I encourage you to put this playlist on, shake out all that anxiety, and connect to hope/optimism/faith for this new year, 2022.

I’ll leave you with this one last thought from Susan Sontag: “Kindness, kindness, kindness. I want to make a new year's prayer, not a resolution.”

Happy New Year
