I was recently asked to contribute a quote for the senior class video for the Sonoma Valley High School graduating Class of 2026:
"Reflecting on your youth will be a precious asset as you age and serve as a grounding point when times get tough. Lean into nostalgia and your roots: fondly remember the kids you grew up with that genuinely know you, cherish the crazy adventures & sweet memories you cultivated at SVHS, and appreciate the places & faces you connected with in our cozy town of Sonoma. These are unique experiences to keep in your back pocket throughout life."

5th grade, age 11. Class of 1993 at Prestwood Elementary School, wished my mom would have curled my hair like my friend Holly.
The only girl in the 5th grade graduating class to receive this award. A cherished accolade. I've since never lost my spirit for leading with kindness.
