Always advocate for yourself. I spent four months trying to figure out a plethora of symptoms to learn I have and have had Lyme for a while while being dismissed by a host of doctors (and unfortunately some friends). Truth is, some of the symptoms started three years ago. Lyme can mimic some very seriousContinue reading “Inspiration: Lyme And Life”

New Canaan- Waveny Park
A dozen times before I’ve walked at Waveny Park yet on this day I stumbled upon its beautiful sunken garden. Perhaps things do happen for a reason. I needed a surprise transforming moment. I am grateful to have grown enough to recognize how appropriate the timing. I genuinely smiled as my friend and I openedContinue reading “New Canaan- Waveny Park”
CT: Norwalk: Norwalk Aquarium
A perfect respite for a hot and humid day. I took the kids when they were young and decided to check out what’s new since. I enjoyed learning about the seals, walking as the butterflies flew all around, waving back at the turtle and watching the kids pet the stingrays! I was honestly thinking ofContinue reading “CT: Norwalk: Norwalk Aquarium”
CT: Milford: Silver Sands/Walnut Beach (Sunset)
Stayed up for a golden sun down at Silver Sands. . . . . . and a lovely moonlit return. Recognize that while you can see the sunrise directly here in the morning, sunset is indirect here but provides you with a beautiful sky most especially with wispy clouds around. I parked at Walnut BeachContinue reading “CT: Milford: Silver Sands/Walnut Beach (Sunset)”
CT: Rowayton: Pinkney Park
My purpose in starting this blog is to help others find respite in close surroundings. My focus for over 25 years was largely on solving problems for my clients. While that certainly had its benefits, I often overlooked or more importantly I didn’t appreciate the present. As I sat in their new gazebo, I sawContinue reading “CT: Rowayton: Pinkney Park”
CT: Southbury: Kettletown Park (Hiking)

Kettletown Park is a CT State park free to CT residents in Southbury. The brook had so much character throughout withContinue reading “CT: Southbury: Kettletown Park (Hiking)”
CT: New Canaan: Grace Farms
We were treated to the Eastern approach of the respect given to drinking tea and had a wonderful meditative stroll around the property uncovering baby birds, bunnies and butterflies. The architecture, while famous, is a catalyst to understanding the mission of Grace Farms. Enter the pavilion as a transition to start your journey letting goContinue reading “CT: New Canaan: Grace Farms”
CT: New Haven County- Farmington Canal Greenway (Biking)
A great bike ride with “eats.” Start off at the lot by the entrance of the York Hill Campus of Quinnipiac University in Hamden. Ride a mostly flat five miles into New Haven passing the elegant architecture of the Yale campus along the way. While I chose to stop and get a great poke bowl,Continue reading “CT: New Haven County- Farmington Canal Greenway (Biking)”
CT: Fairfield: Isabelle et Vincent Bakery
If you are looking to save those extra calories for one particular treat, this is the bakery you should be saving up for! My mother was Parisian and she worked at a French restaurant when I was a kid. My point being I know authentic French bakery when I taste it! To boot, there’s anContinue reading “CT: Fairfield: Isabelle et Vincent Bakery”
CT: Westport- Compo Beach
Now that it’s beyond May 1st, parking for Compo Beach necessitate a residents sticker. Fortunately you can still walk or bike in. It was a perfect evening for the effort. I enjoyed watching the sun cast it’s shadows and reflections within the perfect trees lining the shore. The pictures tell the story of the eveningContinue reading “CT: Westport- Compo Beach”
