We lost you four years ago on this day, 4 days before my birthday. As I enter my 50th year on this planet I am reminded of the most elemental thing in life… it’s all about love. Love of oneself and seeing yourself authentically and clearly, reflected back in the eyes of those that love you.. and in turn truly seeing the other person back. TJ saw me so clearly even when I couldn’t see myself. I will carry him with me always. Grateful for every minute and remember to cherish those you love and spend time together. I could not be more excited to spend this weekend squeezing each and every person who means so much to me. Teej- Camp No Rules por vida. We will be having a shot of whiskey in your honor. Let’s gooooooo 🔥🔥❤️❤️

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMELIA! This week I got to celebrate my niece Amelia's birthday while home from Yale for winter break. While I miss playing with her chubby little cheeks as a baby, I love that I get to be the Auntie to the BadAss woman she has become today. Thank you Oregon Women in Wine for a fantastic holiday party... as an Ashland girl it was awesome to see this powerful group of women come together and create magic. In that spirit, we are currently promoting the Fly Girl Scholarship for female entrepreneurs, wine makers and everything in between. Deadline is 12/31 to apply (see the Spirit Horse website for details), and the winners will be presented at the Northwest Wine & Food Societies annual Burns dinner on 1/25 on the Vancouver waterfront. Tickets for the Burns dinner are going fast and can be found on the NWWF website. Grab your favorite Fly Girls and Fly Guys and we will see you there. Oh, and love you Doodles!

Katharine Hepburn, in her own words:
"Once, when I was a teenager, my father and I were standing in line to buy tickets for the circus. Finally, there was only one family between us and the ticket counter. That family made a lasting impression on me.
There were eight children, all under the age of 12. From the way they were dressed, you could tell they didn’t have much money, but their clothes were clean, very clean. The children were well-behaved, standing in pairs behind their parents, holding hands.
They were so excited about the clowns, the animals, and all the acts they would see that night. From their excitement, you could tell they had never been to a circus before. It was going to be a highlight of their lives.
The father and mother stood proudly at the front of their little group. The mother was holding her husband’s hand, looking at him as if to say, 'You’re my knight in shining armor.' He was smiling, enjoying seeing his family happy.
The ticket lady asked how many tickets he wanted, and he proudly responded, 'I want eight children’s tickets and two adult tickets.' Then she announced the price.
The wife let go of her husband’s hand, her head dropped, and the man’s lip began to quiver. He leaned in closer and asked, 'How much did you say?'
The ticket lady repeated the price.
He didn’t have enough money. How was he supposed to turn around and tell his eight kids that he couldn’t afford to take them to the circus?
Seeing what was happening, my dad reached into his pocket, pulled out a $20 bill, and dropped it on the ground. We weren’t rich by any means. My father bent down, picked up the $20 bill, tapped the man on the shoulder, and said, 'Excuse me, sir, this fell out of your pocket.'
The man understood what was happening. He wasn’t being handed charity, but he gratefully accepted the help in his desperate, heartbreaking, and embarrassing situation. He looked straight into my father’s eyes, took my dad’s hand in both of his, squeezed the bill tightly, and with trembling lips and a tear streaming down his cheek, he replied, 'Thank you, sir. This really means so much to me and my family.'
My father and I went back to our car and drove home. The $20 my dad gave away was what we had planned to use for our own tickets.
Although we didn’t see the circus that night, we felt a joy inside us that was far greater than seeing the circus.
That day, I learned the true value of giving. The Giver is greater than the Receiver.
If you want to be great, greater than life itself, learn to give. Love has nothing to do with what you expect to get, only with what you expect to give—everything.
The importance of giving and blessing others cannot be overstated because there is always joy in giving. Learn to make someone happy through acts of giving."

Queen

The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It’s the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows & the beauty of a woman only grows with passing years.
– Audrey Hepburn
