The weekend was all sorts of lovely due largely to some mother/daughter fun (a little lunching, a little shopping, a little spa action — i.e. a trifecta of goodness) with my own mama in celebration of her 60th birthday. Further contributing to the spring in my step: gorgeous fall weather and the successful completion late last week of my install at the new gig (more on that later).

Now onto the week ahead. More stellar weather is on the horizon, which has me feeling all energized and what not, and I'm ready to plow forward full force. I might even do a couple of extra posts this week... Watch out!
