I enjoy the art of living well, creatively
Nothing pleases me more than to share my little slice of paradise with others. When life gives you lemons...well, you know...you pull up your boot straps and make some amazing lemonade. Oh so sweet with a little zip, I enjoy the art of living well creatively with great food, friendships & a healthy lifestyle close to nature. While my kids are off into the world creating their own amazing life adventures, you’ll find me tending our homestead, baking in the kitchen, singing & playing music, practicing yoga or planning my own next adventure.
Years ago, and seemingly a lifetime has passed…
since I first stepped foot onto this Old Florida homestead with its cypress trees, sleepy spanish moss and a breeze that blew the scent of lake through this cypress and heart wood pine saltbox style home. As a college student I rented the house, designed and built by it’s owners in 1956 while they were wintering in Honduras; little did I know I would return as a full time caregiver and marry into the family. If these walls could talk….babies were born, gardens have come and gone, there were birthdays and celebrations of life, marriages & anniversaries, house concerts, meditation retreats, school and scout parties and more dinner gatherings than I can count. Nearly 30 years later, with lots of sweat equity, the passage of loved ones and a few tears, I continue to call this place home and now share it with others, with joy and gratitude as Little Cypress Guest Suites.
I have a few good stories to share…
Ask about the month I spent in Thailand sailing to remote islands in the Andaman Sea or about my experience singing on stage with Andrea Bocelli. I’d love to hear what inspires you too!
Thanks so much for stopping by!
The natural beauty of Florida always takes my breath away. Living here is such a gift.
Creative baking is good for the soul and a true passion. If you’re around when a fresh loaf comes out of the oven I’m happy to share with others.
We look forward to hosting you in beautiful Florida.
