As adults, we do not always make time to play. Somewhere along the way, we start to treat play as something for kids. We watch children build worlds with toys, invent characters and disappear into their imaginations. It looks effortless.   Play is not just for childhood. It is part of being human. When we make space for play, we give ourselves time to have fun, deliberately. It is a chance to feel light, curious, present and connected. This matters, especially at times when l

If you want to see resilience in action, look at Bermuda before, during and after a hurricane. This

“…and the greatest of these is love.” If you have the 2024  Let’s Spend The Year Together  calendar, you may remember that January began with the theme of love. I wanted to set the tone for the year with something that felt foundational, something that speaks to who we are and how we connect. And now, as we arrive in October 2025, love returns as our guiding theme once more. Why revisit it? Because love is not a one-time reflection. It’s a continual practice. It shapes how we
