"When you look at your life, the greatest happinesses are family happinesses." ~Joyce Brothers
I first met Carolyn over the holidays at our AWC Annual Holiday Party and was delighted to meet a fellow Midwesterner who has recently relocated to Santa Barbara. I have a special place in my heart for Midwesterners and have many close friends here in SB who hail from the flatlands of the U.S. like me. There's a common heritage that we share that's unique and familiar and, from my experience, Midwesterners tend to be pretty down to earth, kind-hearted and authentic people.
I was delighted when she and her husband wanted to put together a photo shoot for their family's reunion out here in their beautiful new home.
Life is truly short and it seems to be speeding up for me every year. I have lived 1,000s of miles from much of my family now for over two decades so I cherish every moment I have with them.
It was a delight being there to celebrate Carolyn and David's time with their family who were visiting from around the country. It's a precious thing to spend time with the people we love no matter how many zip codes exist between our homes.
Sending you and your family my love and blessings this year! I hope we can make this an annual tradition.
Cheers,
Rachel
