In 2016 I became a Grandma for the first time. I never aspired to be a Grandma, never one to be after my girls to have children. I knew and trusted that when the time was perfect, the perfect little human would arrive and oh my goodness did she every.  She is the light of my life!

Little V is the reason why I resigned from the CEO position with the International Feng Shui Guild; I figured if I could volunteer 60 hours a month on top of caring for my fulltime client consulting business I wanted and needed to make some time to cultivate a meaningful and lasting relationship with my granddaughter. My grandfather was the most significant person in my life. It is my intention to be the elder that my grandchildren remember. So instead of meeting with board members every Monday I now V and me days every Monday, hence my office hours Tuesday – Fridays.

I love, love, love my granddaughter and my me and V days are the best, and I won’t give up our time together for anything in the world! What I’ve found over the last year and a half since my daughter went back to work and V has been going to daycare 3x a week is that my immune system has been bombarded one after another with what I’ve coined as “the toddler cold or the toddler flu.” It’s all part of building a healthy immune system I know but omg!

Generally speaking, I’m a healthy gal, but since most of my business is working virtually/distantly with clients, I’ve not been subjected to a lot of germs since leaving the health region 9 years ago of which I experienced much the same seasonal immune challenges the first 2 years of working in the system. With the exception of the odd thrifting day or evening or get together with friends I can go weeks without leaving the house, and I’m more than ok with that.
