It’s All Coming Together and I’m Feeling Good

It’s All Coming Together and I’m Feeling Good

FROM JODI It’s another full moon. I can’t believe that last full moon I was on the other side of the world watching it rise and set over the Adriatic Sea.  I am thankful the full moon comes mid-month because it gives me a reminder to review the month so far and to...

Outbound Plane To An End of Summer Escape

Outbound Plane To An End of Summer Escape

FROM JODI I am writing to you from an overnight flight 38,000 feet in the sky over the Atlantic Ocean on my way to Croatia.  I am pretty sure I am the only person on the plane working in the middle of the night, but I am well aware the newsletter is late this month. ...

Find Your Bliss… At a Food Truck?

Find Your Bliss… At a Food Truck?

This time last year, I wrote about the lemons 2020 had handed us, and how we could make the best of the rest of 2020. It felt good to look ahead with fresh eyes, feeling revived about a new way to see our Pandemic-y circumstances. Things are feeling a bit precarious...

Seeing the Road Signs Ahead & Coming Out the Other Side

Seeing the Road Signs Ahead & Coming Out the Other Side

FROM JODI Two weeks ago, I had eye surgery. I have been battling serious eye complications in my left eye for two years. I couldn’t go six months without recurrent corneal erosion. You don’t want that; it hurts like hell. I remember two years ago, a client doctor...

Will Work For Love And Pasta

Will Work For Love And Pasta

FROM JODI  We just wrapped up a series of prenups and were able to celebrate our clients’ weddings, which is always a nice antedote to the undoing we are in the business of. The love side of the practice barely ever gets any attention. I think couples who plan their...

New Space: This Isn’t Your Grandfather’s Office Relocation

New Space: This Isn’t Your Grandfather’s Office Relocation

FROM JODI A couple months into our virtual law firm, our Team has fully made the transition to work from home, and with the COVID-19 vaccine widely available, it is time to turn our attention to how we will work in-person with our clients. More and more, our clients...

Freedom Lies in Being Bold (But Also in Getting Vaccinated)

Freedom Lies in Being Bold (But Also in Getting Vaccinated)

When I received my second COVID-19 vaccine this month, I immediately nailed down plans for travel over the next months. I am waiting 28 days from my second vaccine, and then I am getting on a plane and going to the beach. It has been one year of stay-at-home. I have...

See You in The Cloud

See You in The Cloud

We have turned in the keys today to our long-time office space at The Enclave on Camp Craft Road. I just walked through the empty office and drove away from the office building that housed our law practice for the last 12 years. We looked at many options for new...

It’s Time To Make A Change

It’s Time To Make A Change

2020 is over; a new year has begun, but the pandemic rages, and we are all waiting to be let free. And even though we are at the dawn of vaccinations, there are still so many unknowns as to when we will be “post-pandemic.” We are in the 11th month of stay-at-home. It...

Looks Like Stella Got Her Groove Back

Looks Like Stella Got Her Groove Back

WE DID IT!! We made it to the end of the work year! The day we close our office for the year is always such an exciting and meaningful day, and this year it is especially so. I think we all deserve a pat on the back for making it to this day. In 2020, we took on the...

Have You Considered Boating Off Into the Sunset?

Have You Considered Boating Off Into the Sunset?

Here we are at the end of November 2020. Today, I am just coming back to my desk after a week away for the Thanksgiving holiday; my first time-off since summer. It was a good preview to the time off coming in just 19 days, when we will shut down for 2 weeks for the...
