My Every Day

Wrapped up our Thanksgiving weekend last night her

Wrapped up our Thanksgiving weekend last night here in Old Town Alexandria with my siblings, their AMAZING spouses, and their children. If our daughters and my parents had been there, it would have been a PERFECT night. Even then, it was about 99% perfect. Dinner at Landini’s, walking by the sparkling lights in Old Town, and wrapping up the evening with several of us dancing with Murphy’s icon Jerry 😂 Including our newest family member, Jackson’s recent bride Nicole - a marvelous addition to this wild, spicy, loud, “full of life” crew. Did I mention loud?!? 😂

Steve invited each of us to share what we were grateful for over dinner and laughter and tears ensued as we each shared from the heart. So proud of this family we have created together and the legacy of love, passion, hard work, art, creativity, and impact we are collectively and separately bringing to the world. Grown up kids are so fun!!! #iveywhitingjohnson #christmasinnovember #siblinglove #weallmarriedwell #familywhoarefriends #landinibrothersrestaurant #murphysirishbar #visitalxva #oldtownalexandria

Happy Thanksgiving from our family to yours. So go

Happy Thanksgiving from our family to yours. So good to be together, although we missed my mom and dad, along with our daughters in London. Thanks to the miracle of the internet, they at least got to join us by FaceTime for the blessing. So many blessings to be thankful for, especially these dear ones. Please notice how sleepy all 3 pups look after a full day of playing together 😂😂😂🦃 🦃🦃

Tree lighting weekend here in Old Town Alexandria!

Tree lighting weekend here in Old Town Alexandria! Santa arrived in Market Square last night by trolley and lit the big Christmas tree. Who knew Santa played the bagpipes?!? And then we got our tree and all the sparkly lights up here at home today. Family arriving in a few days for Thanksgiving and I’m feeling so grateful we can gather in all these spaces for my favorite season. 🎄🎄🎅🏼🎅🏼🎁🎁 #christmasiscoming #sparklylightsmakemehappy #joytotheworld #ohcomeohcomeemmanuel #visitalx #oldtownalexandria

TLDR: why I vote Blue. 💙💙💙 Tomorrow is El

TLDR: why I vote Blue. 💙💙💙
Tomorrow is Election Day. While many, many of us have already voted, TOMORROW is your last chance for those who haven’t yet. If you follow me on social media or have ever been in a room with me for more than 5 minutes, you know gun violence prevention is an issue about which I feel passionately. I ONLY vote for, support, send money to, call, text and canvass for gun sense candidates. (Go to gunsensevoter.org for more info.) Almost always, sadly, those candidates are Democrats. However my friend Chris has inspired me to share some of the other personal reasons I’m voting BLUE in this election:
💙 I support the party who takes climate change and science seriously.
💙 As a woman and the mother of two daughters, I support the party who fights for women: protecting bodily autonomy and reproductive choice, including birth control, equal pay, and affordable childcare.
💙 Education. The recent attacks on teachers and public education is deeply disturbing. I vote Blue for my sister who gives everything for her 4th graders and doesn’t deserve the ugly rhetoric aimed at teachers.
💙 Marriage equality. I vote Blue for all my LBGTQ loved ones to continue to be free to love, marry and raise a family as they choose.
💙 White nationalism and xenophobia. The rapidly growing white nationalist movement in our country, often couched in “Christian” platitudes, makes me physically ill. Absolutely unacceptable and the antithesis of what Jesus taught us. I vote for the party who stands against it in solidarity with my black, brown, and Asian brothers and sisters.
💙 January 6th. Those who dismiss it, make excuses, or God forbid, actually participated/ encouraged the violence have no place in the leadership of this country. You either stand for insurrection and violence or stand against it. Period.

My faith allows me no other choice than to vote blue for all the reasons above and more. #micah6v8 #compassion #personalreasonsivoteblue #lovewins #voteblue #savedemocracy #vote #gunviolenceprevention

CANCER UPDATE: I’m a big believer in pausing to

CANCER UPDATE: I’m a big believer in pausing to celebrate the wins, savor the good, count blessings, and express gratitude. Mostly because I’m a glass half full kinda gal and an enneagram 7, but I also know from years in the emotional wellness field that pausing to acknowledge moments of joy is actually good for us- our mental health, our spiritual health AND our physical health. It’s science! Today I want to share and celebrate some huge wins for our family and express my gratitude for all of you who prayed for my mom and sister. Our prayers are being answered!

Today my sister Karen rings the bell after her FINAL chemo. While she will continue to take the estrogen blockers for several more years, she is DONE with the surgeries and the chemo. We are so grateful for all your prayers. She is a warrior and my hero.

Also, a week or so ago we received the fabulous news that my mom Shirley is finally in remission. Her type of cancer will never be cured, but after several tries and some REALLY rough side effects, it looks like they have finally found the right combo to get her numbers where they want them. Again, we are so grateful for your prayers! She is one tough, brave lady and she is also my hero. We are looking forward to all being together for Thanksgiving after too many years apart. Giving thanks will be especially precious this year. 🦃🙏🏼♥️

How about you, what good things can I celebrate and savor with you? #cancersucks #celebratethewins #savorthemoment #myheroes #warriorwomen #ringthebell #breastcancerawareness #getyourmammogram #multiplemyeloma #answeredprayers #neuroscience
