Here I am, in my new life. My newly designed life. Not exactly as planned. But I’m thinking outside the box.
We all make plans, right? Where to go to school, what to do for a living, who we want to spend our time with.
Then plans change.
The pandemic has changed the trajectory of my new marriage with a closed border that’s made things very complicated for our family. We’ve been married for 2.5 years but the longest we have ever spent together under 1 roof is 3 months. That’s not what I planned.
Now, I write to you from Boston. Where we plan to spend the next few months together as a blended family. 2 are off to college. 1 teen, 2 school-age, and an elderly dog at home.
We are together. Finally. For another stretch of time, hopefully the longest.
This life is the one I’m creating. Yes, many things have been out of my control. But how do you colour outside the lines? Think outside the box? (Why don’t Kendall and Joe just live in L.A. AND Chicago??? (for those Bachelor in Paradise fans out there)).
Think outside the box.
What are you stuck on? What in your life isn’t going the way you planned? What if you asked “what if?”

Let’s brainstorm together how we can all think outside the box a little bit more.
