Hello everyone, I'm Pinkett. Thank you for the approval to be part of this wonderful family.

We had a wonderful day gathering at our oldest daughter’s home. Every year I have intentions of slowing down - be more present - and then the December calendar fills up so quickly - violin performances at Christmas Bazaar, Senior Connection, performing with the ballet, piano recital, caroling at nursing home - all wonderful opportunities to share the gift of music. But I treasure the quiet morning walks - or unplanned stops on the way home to observe the changes of the seasons and the beautiful sunsets. Looking forward to days getting longer!

Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Matthew 11:28

My kids know me well enough not to rush but pause and take a moment to watch the sunset. Tonight the sky was on fire - do you pause what you are doing and simply enjoy the sunset?

I recently went to a in person event to support parents and other caregivers. One of the sponsors had some sensory stickers with breathing reminders. Loved this idea! Sometimes we just need that reminder to stop and breathe!
