Since this space is very much a place I use to muse and reflect, this particular post is doing just that.

I find myself particularly energized with the official arrival of spring, and looking forward to all of the exciting things in the works over the next few months, personal and professional. On a personal level, the winter season always feels like a cozy blur (which yes, sounds like a contradiction), but perhaps that’s the point. We shuffle back and forth from Rhode Island to Vermont to savor the snow which is wonderful for so many reasons but can also become exhausting, logistically and physically. Typically, around this time, I am ready for a change.

The spring always brings a little pep and promise — the grass is getting greener by the day, and my climbing hydrangea have their buds — and I find myself excited for spring travel and settling into the summer months in New England. Trade Secrets is around the corner, as is a special trip with the Design Leadership Network, and other inspired travel.

I wish you energized thoughts as we look forward to a glorious spring and summer!
