Modern family life.

1. Chris is in Nashville at a Democratic Leadership Council Convention listening to Bill Clinton speak today.


2. Simon is on the coast with Grandma, Grandpa, Auntie Liz, and Cousin Henry. Most likely he is running on the beach, sleeping in the tent, chasing Lily the dog, and playing with Henry.


3. And me, well, I am on my way to Salt Lake for meetings.


Each living our own lives. Each with our own path. But all a part of one great little family unit. Supporting. Compromising. Loving. Moving forward one step at a time.

Can't wait until we are all back here together safe and sound

    Have a safe journey Ali. Maybe you'll come back early from your meetings saying that your book is being released early! I can dream can't I?!!! Peace and blessings,
    Cindy

    It's the time apart that can make the time back together so sweet. :)

    I bet being a part for a few days makes you all that much happier to see each other when you're back together. :)

    I feel so out of sorts when my kids are away from home. I never feel completely at ease until we are all home together.
    Hope your meetings go well and your reunion is a happy one.

    Ali, I noticed in the CK Newsflash that they referred to you as the "Lifestyle" editor. That's a change in your title, isn't it? I've only heard you referred to as a Creative Editor. Does that effect what you do in any way? If so, I'd love to hear about it.

    Happy trails!
    That adventure out + come back together rhythm is lovely, isn't it? Something I read somewhere talked about flinging our arms wide open to the world and then using them to wrap around a person. We all need both--the chance to explore/do & the comfort of coming back and being embraced.
    I love that you enjoy both!
