It’s all about the corner office.
I feel very fortunate to have a profession I truly love. The incredible views of Boston from my client’s homes is an added benefit.

We are creatures of habit, for better or worse. While working with a personal trainer I learned it is all about making habits. And I was in the habit of sleeping too late and having to skip breakfast, which often left me hangry and unable to perform to the best of my ability. It took some effort and compromise, but I was able to make eating a protein packed breakfast a part of my daily routine. I found that I had more energy throughout the day with less “crashes”, which has made waking up just a little bit earlier worth it.
What sort of habits are you trying to break/form?

Weekends are for brunch, farmer’s markets and let’s face it, chores. Oh, but let’s not forget naps. About to head in for one now, catch you later.

Today feels like November. It’s grey and chilly, with a crisp breeze. Leaves are quivering on the tips of otherwise bare branches the weather forecast hints at a dusting of the first snow.

It’s the perfect day for my microwaveable neck pillow and endless cups of tea. Now, do I grab a book, practice meditation, listen to a podcast or most likely catch up on some Netflix? What do you have in store of the evening?

Even when it’s been a good week, by Friday I am ready to unwind. I’m already thinking about when I get home and I can throw on my husband’s sweatpants. Let’s be honest, they belong to me now.

Do you have a routine you look forward to coming home to?

Fika. A concept. A state of mind. An attitude. An essential part of Swedish culture is taking a little time each day to share in a cup of coffee (or tea) and a snack with friends or colleagues. Today as part of my self care, I enjoyed my seasonal favorite, Santa’s Secret from and a chat with my friend Charles. It was so nice to take a break from our busy day and just catch up. Thank you for helping me refill my cup.
