Hi Sandy, I've really been enjoying your posts too. I understand the hesitancy about retirement. It took me awhile to be comfortable with that identity, it was hard to even say "I'm retired." Now I am happy to say, "I am retired and loving it!" I wish you the best in your process and congrats on freeing yourself up to new possibilities! Safe travels and fun adventures on your way back to Seattle. And enjoy those darling gkids when you return!

I have always believed who you are is always so much more than what you do. Your phenomenal, impact filled career is only a fraction as spectacular as you are!! I loved reading this entry and although we only met once, your title or work history was not what blew me away. Your magnificent, magical spirit, love for life, people and family captivated me and made me grateful for the opportunity to sit with you and be inspired by you. Those pancakes are going to be out of this world as they will be cooked with so much love and lightness. Will you be a guest flipper in my kitchen? I would love to swap stories and laughter with you again! And then I want to get you on the slopes in a TaraShakti suit for more laughter and fun.

Enjoy the return ride home and soak in all those sunsets along the way…you deserve all of the serenity and magic moments that are coming your way!
