Legacy Village DORA Giveaway

Legacy Village has found some great ways to pivot in the pandemic, including the addition of DORA, which stands for Designated Outdoor Refreshment Area. From 11:30am-9pm, visitors 21 and over can purchase drinks from Bar Louie, Melting Pot, Wild Mango, or California Pizza Kitchen and stroll around Legacy Village with the beverages in designated plastic cups. The DORA is clearly marked and you can enjoy your drinks outside or at certain retailers (look for the DORA sticker on the door.) Last week, we explored DORA (get it?) and enjoyed tasty drinks from Wild Mango while window shopping … [Read more...] about Legacy Village DORA Giveaway

Cleveland Traveler

The blogger community in Cleveland has always been a strong, connected group. For me, one of my favorite things about being part of that community is connecting with like-minded individuals who are passionate about Cleveland and being their authentic selves. Amanda from Cleveland Traveler is one of those folks I've had a chance to meet through the blogging community. She just recently launched a Cleveland Traveler merch shop (check my Instagram today for a pic of what I chose from the shop) and I wanted to give her a chance to tell you more about that and herself...   What gave you … [Read more...] about Cleveland Traveler

Vote

For a long time, I didn't want to overtly bring political views into this space. But this is one of those times where I think it matters greatly not just THAT you vote, but WHO you vote for. As a political science major, former resident of the DC area, and general "The West Wing" fanatic, I'd also be remiss if I didn't say that there are a host of state and local elections that also matter greatly. All politics are local, friends. And these "down ticket" races are often the ones that have the biggest practical impact on your life. So, here are some resources to make sure you're registered, … [Read more...] about Vote

Reading, Listening, Learning

I owe you all an apology. In the last few days, I've found myself struggling to live up to the "authentic" part of Authentically CLE. I tend to be one who measures my words carefully. That's the lawyer in me. That's the perfectionist in me. I've found myself struggling with being a parent and accurately explaining the world to Jeffrey. I've found myself struggling with the line between my personal beliefs and what I share on this platform. Sometimes I'm guilty of thinking that you all know me and therefore I don't need to tell you where I stand. And sometimes I'm guilty of trying to exist in … [Read more...] about Reading, Listening, Learning

Today on the blog (yes, I blogged!) #linkinprofile Today on the blog (yes, I blogged!) #linkinprofile...

This time, this year, has simplified life for all of us. It's stripped it down. Given us the chance to decide what matters. What stays. I'm never going to be a total homebody. I'm never going to be an introvert. But I feel definitively, and have felt for awhile, that the blogger/influencer stage is done.

So, thank you, thank you, thank you for nearly a decade of more fun, more connection, more everything than I could have imagined. You guys made this worthwhile and made it last. And now it's not you, it's me.

Two months ago, I had never heard of neuroendocrin Two months ago, I had never heard of neuroendocrine cancer. Now Iโ€™m more familiar with it than I would ever want to be.

Known as the zebra of the cancer world because of itโ€™s rarity and the unique way it manifests in each patient, it is often misdiagnosed initially.

As happened with my mother, 46% of those diagnosed with neuroendocrine cancer are at Stage IV and/or had metastases at the time of diagnosis.

@netcancerday seeks to raise awareness of symptoms both among patients and health care professionals to lead to earlier diagnosis and better treatment options.

If youโ€™re part of my circle, chances are youโ€™v If youโ€™re part of my circle, chances are youโ€™ve sat around my momโ€™s kitchen table drinking margaritas and talking about everything big and small. Momma Gโ€™s margaritas are somewhat legendary that way...

So you can imagine how much I loved sharing a margarita in the sunshine with my beautiful momma yesterday ๐Ÿน
