Recently returned from the WTZQ Cruise to the Caribbean I wanted to talk of family. Families come in many styles, relative families and the families you make. Family is about sharing and caring, taking time together. So this past week I had the greatest pleasure creating our cruise family with nine other people, making us a family of ten.

​February is touted as the month of love, in all its many guises…love of one’s significant other, love of oneself, love of family, and so on. Yet for love to grow, to become everlasting, it needs trust and dependability.

It’s not just in your person but in every aspect of your life--beauty--breathing it in, bringing it in, experiencing it in each moment, each second of every day, that is the embodiment of a beautiful figure. Warm weather, delightful people, shining vistas, and magnificent food. This past October I led a small group of guests to the beautiful Tyrrhenian seashores of the Amalfi Coast, where we felt Italy’s embrace and we embraced her in return.

All my adult life has been spent at a desk and as I near age 50, I decided I wanted to travel, to learn about the world, to learn from different cultures and people, to hear and learn various languages, and mostly to experience life not simply live it.
