Siblings. Often, these are the people with whom we travel the greatest distance. 🕰️ The entanglement we experience throughout our lifetime with them is mystical and profound, dispite momentary circumstances. 🪢 I once (twice, three times) read, “Many Lives, Many Masters”, by Brian L. Weiss, M.D., who explored the generational psychology and epigenetic connections that we carry in our cells thoughout our lifetime. He suggests that the people who surround us now, are not tabula rasa individuals, but rather - souls who quantum leap with us from one human experience to the next. ⏳ My brother, whom I see in person perhaps once a year, delights in a “chewy” glass of CabSauv 🍷…without knowing, or ever discussing this preference with him, I remarked that the wine was “chewy” during Liz’s graduation celebration - and with wide eyes, my beautiful sister-in-law turned to me and remarked, “Did you say ‘chewy’? Your brother is the only one I’ve ever heard describe a full-body-red in that way.” I smiled, but my thought was, “That’s quantum entanglement”. 🕸️😏 This week, I’m thinking a lot about family, our relationships, and the space - between, which is not at all empty. It’s filled with non-duality energy - connection at the quantum level, which humans have known about for millennia, but now study through a lens of 60-minute billable sessions, laboratory work, & mathematical data sets. Science, proving spiritual knowing. Cheers 🥂 to siblings. Cheers 🥂 to interconnected friends. Cheers 🥂 to our walk, together, through time, space, and experience.

For our friends and family, near and far, we invite you to read Colin’s father’s obituary. Bob’s memorial service is planned for Saturday, May 17, 2025 at 10:00am, Asbury First United Methodist Church 1050 East Ave, Rochester, NY Also see the link in the comments. 🌈🤍 Thank you for the well wishes we have received. Colin feels deep gratitude for the love & support of family, friends, and colleagues. 🙏🏼 https://www.anthonychapels.com/obituaries/Robert-W-Stokes?obId=42501852

The Skipper has set his course for his soul’s next journey. Ninety one years, here, building a life for himself, for family, for others. ⛵️ 🌎 🛰️ Colin came home from Highland Hospital last night and shared the story of his father’s quiet passing. A man and his dad, sitting through the last precious moments, here, together. 🌈🤍 The bustle of our daily experiences pales in comparison to the last of our hours. When the clock no longer matters, when energy from one realm overlaps the next, when space and time melt together. Dylan Thomas famously wrote, “Rage, rage against the dying of the light.” But resistance is not the path we all ultimately face. When the moment comes, we choose, surrender. 🌷 Bob, you sailed, you studied, you invented, you built. You raised a family, you saw the sunset, you created community and friendships for a lifetime. You loved and practiced devotion. We honor your life and are so thankful to have been part of your world. 🙏🏼 🌅 Cheers to my Father In Law, Robert Stokes. 🫱🏼🥃✨🥃🫲🏼 SKOL! 🇸🇪 We love you and will miss you. 🌈🤍

An ode to laundry… 🧺 Just do it. But do it without harming people, pets, or planet. 🌎 Make it sustainable. Make it easy. Laundry is part of home-life. If you must - pay someone to do it, but for the love of all things reasonable - treat clothing, textiles, design, and craftsmanship as the miracle it is. 🧵 If you want to see “Norwex Lady Gayle” in action… pour a drink and tune on in. Like what you see? Place an order. Book a show. Join my team. There’s a place for you here. #norwex #laundry 🪢

If I was to build a space for the appreciation of thought, imagination, and beauty… it would be this space. Open Inviting Airy Dedicated to creative expression. Passionate about conversations around justice and equality. The Memorial Art Gallery in Rochester, NY feels more like being at a very special friend’s house, than it does a museum. Perhaps because it welcomes the community with open arms and offers is a story through the lens of those who give voice to people who have walked these streets - and have made a difference in the lives of others. The narrative here is about inclusion, about diversity, about locality, and about telling the story of the many, rather than the few. We’re grateful to be part of it. 🖼️

Great hair day - every time!

Feeling nostalgic this week! 🕰️ Our winter Staycation party kicked off this morning and I’m about to do an entire hosting demo in my high school sweater from the late 80’s. 😅 🧶 (Even slipped on my St. Francis Academy class ring!) 💍 Gahhhhh! Memories! What have you kept from high school? Kodak photos? Friendship charms? Scrunchies & hair ribbons? Old guitars? Passed notes? Sweet love letters? My high school experience was a lot (I mean A LOT) like a John Hughes movie. 🎬 Not even joking. I bet some of my high school friends who read this post would agree. Loved you guys then…. still love you, now. What’s your favorite high school memory? One of mine is Christmas Dance 1989… Rialto Theater… slow dance on the balcony… Journey BLASTING “Faithfully” through the speakers. Brad - SHOUTING with Steve’s crescendo❣️🔊 OMG… 🥰 I’m getting goosebumps just thinking about it! HTBT 💞 🥲 How’bout you???

Ooooo! Ready for great skin?!? Tell me, DO!!!! 📢🗯️

Work trips… who need’em - right?!? 😏 I DO!!!!! Norwex’s Annual Incentive Trip is the bomb-dot-com! 💥 They do not miss! Plan 6 hosts a month.

Got stinky bath towels? 💁🏼‍♀️👀 Look for bath linens infused with microsilver. This high-tech ingredient will keep them stay fresher - longer, so you don’t get that mildew smell before laundry day. 🛁 We love the sustainability factor with these linens, too! Oeko-Tex Certified, made with plant fibers like Lyocell, and infused with BacLock microsilver to inhibit the stinkiness that plagues most cotton towels. I’m giving the Norwex microfiber towels high marks for softness, freshness, and absorbency. 🏆 Have you tried this brand?

Midlife doesn’t have to suck. 😏 Making an effort at self care will help you feel human everyday, stave off belly bloat, and lift your mood. 😇 Walk outside in every season by doing what you would do as a kid… layer the eff up! 🧣 Don’t make it hard, just make it happen. 💥 (That’s what she said - right?!?) 😅 Follow for clean-living recommendations, filling your life with vitality on the daily. 💫
