After a few magical weeks out west, I’m back on the East Coast — full-hearted, sun-kissed, and feeling deeply recharged. This recent trip took me back to where it all began for CMD. I set out west with a few quiet intentions: to reconnect with dear friends, to have slow mornings with the people I love and miss, and to feel grounded again. Life on the [...]

It’s officially that time again — I’m gearing up to hit the road for another summer adventure out west. Before I fly cross-country and settle into van life for a few weeks of travel, pop-ups, and reconnection with old friends, I’m kicking things off with a local event that’s [...]

If you know me well on a personal level, you’d know that I’m the type of person who likes to “make things happen.” If I’m honest, it’s one of my strongest personality traits and a bit the Aries in me. With that, I’m also a self-proclaimed procrastinator and things often take me longer [...]

It’s that time of year again, friends and wow…how the time does fly. Each December, as I bid the year farewell, I like to take some time to reflect and share with you. I also love pondering on previous years and since journaling is a regular part of my routine, it makes it easy to look [...]
