This is Young Heather with my Hottie Mama, my Gran and my Great Grandma Burbank (aka Grandma B). Four generations of women who have lead amazingly different lives. I am so proud of these strong women before me who helped pave a path for my own journey. In preserving that sacred journey, I pass Day…

Last weekend I had my first Dim Sum in Chinatown, Chicago. I huddled with my nieces over pots of tea, dumplings, and custard filled desserts shaped like pigs. Dim Sum is officially defined as a meal of small plates, usually in steamer baskets, served with tea. Dim Sum is delish. I dove into Dim Sum.…

I am still working from home 95% of my days. And while I still find it odd that for two years now, I can get camera ready in about 15 minutes, find a top that is business-casually enough while still being cozy and yoga pants that provide enough, stretch and give to remind me that…

Its been cold and snowy here in Colorado. I love it. It is Winter. And therefore it should snow. All is right in the world when it’s covered in a blanket of white. Yesterday it was -1 degrees. Delightful. The cold hit my nose as I inhaled- reminding me I was alive. Crowded House sings…

My niece has her Physicians Assistant White Coat ceremony this weekend. It’s not only fun to be proud of her, it’s fun to see her so happy and excited about this next step. We had our first celebratory meal in a bougie restaurant where we ate truffle fries and drank champagne on Restoration Hardware couches.…

SOCKS! Today was chilly. I needed some good socks. I invested in good socks this winter. This has been a good investment. I was never a sock person. I am a sock person now. Good socks are delightful. I pulled out a stripped pair of socks this morning and delighted in the fact that not…

I meant to post this yesterday in honor of the great Martin Luther King Jr. I thought about this post all day- and then I laid down on the couch and took a nap. My napping really kind of leads to this post. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.- my goodness what a man. What a…

OH…..YOU!!! You are the best. Honestly the very best. I think you may have broke Facebook because I can’t find all the thoughtful posts from my birthday. If I have not thanked you, I cannot get to the post. But thank you. Really- tonight I am a giddy, overstimulated, tired, 51 year old swimming in…
