It's Friday the 13th. AGAIN! According to the Old Farmer's Almanac, the 2026 calendar possesses the most possible of the "unlucky" days/dates---three.

Having been born on the 13th, I tend to dismiss the superstitions surrounding it. Instead, I like to laugh in the face of the fates and celebrate. And on this particular Friday the 13th, I have a list of goodness...

For starters, it's the High Holy Weekend! Of course, my family has a full schedule of music, food and drink planned. Yet the revelry I most look forward to is a 20-year-old tradition that involves going to JP Fitzgerald's. We have a collection of treasured photographs from those moments, witnessing the ways our family has grown and changed. #Priceless

I am going to be gathering with family and friends at a memorial for a neighbor who passed recently. It will be a true celebration of his life with storytelling, laughter and undoubtedly, a few tears---just as he would want it. It will be an honor to be there.

I just posted the recording of my 1st Heart & Soul Zoom Podcast on my YouTube Channel! While I have a bit to learn about lighting and makeup, the audience of people who participated and the wisdoms they shared created a discussion that was inspiring.

Thanks to my producer, Colleen Young and all who showed up. I can't wait for next Thursday at 7pm to do it all over again!

So take that Friday March 13th! And if your November relation is anything like you, I look forward to the goodness it will bring.
