Chapter 50::
P•I•V•O•T!!!
|| Returning Home ||
Shake it up || Chapter 50
Shake-it-up and see where the new half century takes you.
Life doesn’t follow that bright colored, pick A or B path on the LIFE board game that we played growing up.
You make plans for your game of LIFE and then–
Chapter 50 arrives and you have Ross screaming
PIV-OT!!
After 54 years, raising two Babé’s, traveling, teaching, photog-ing, and styling, a new adventure came into view, or rather…
LIFE said, “Hold my wine and watch this!”
A new adventure, in an old, familiar place {home} to renovate #thehousegrandpabuilt into a vacation rental, while at the same time starting to travel A LOT more.
Adventuring and Renovating…
Yes, actually, I have thought,
“What in this holy realm of crazy ideas am I doing!”
And I always, okay, 94% of always, come back to two words…
Family + Legacy
{The other 6% is spent thinking…Could be fun right?}
Starting over happens at any age and remembering we only get so many trips around the sun can make pivoting easier.
And I hope you come on this trip in your 40’s, 50’s, 60’s, and God willing, 70’s and 80’s too.
Even if you never galavant over to the beautiful Southeastern corner of Washington, to share in an Italian legacy we’re renovating, I have SO MUCH MORE TO SHARE WITH YOU👇🏼

Parachute pants weren’t a favorite back then and they won’t be making a reappearance in my closet the next time either 😉
books & wine📚
Life isn’t complete without some coffee, yoga, wine and a glimpse of a good book for those long plane rides, road trips, or Sunday afternoon.
Walla Walla is overflowing with wine choices, along with your morning coffee fix. Matching a glass with a new book goes together like a grape on the vine or an upgrade to a first class seat. Come along + find a new good book for your next trip.
