As someone who is going through a contentious divorce, I am grateful to be able to participate in things that inspire me, remind me of who I am and bring me joy. And as a mom, I am so very grateful that I am able to love my children in the midst of the conflict and to give them the gift of great memories. 

This Spring I was reminded that our hardships do not have to define us if we have the courage to combat the negativity with positivity. 

So, here’s to a great summer!
