I saw your TODAY segment so this comment is a bit more about that — how wonderful you were able to go on and spread your message that there's more to life than influencing! That there's more to life than social media, really! There are so many incredible careers we can have when we "grow up" with fruitful offline lives, even ones in which we can be our own boss or have a more flexible schedule. I myself dabbled back in the blogging days with being a full time blogger. Now I still have my passion projects but get to work full time and remotely for an incredible branding agency. I even deleted IG back in February and don't miss it. It's incredible how different, brighter, more colorful the world looks off my phone screen and how much healthier I am physically and mentally. Lee, you truly are a trend-starter but this is one I am loving to jump on! I truly enjoy reading along your journey. And those flower pics are divine.
I’m four and a half hours from NYC aka true, non-Westchester UPSTATE. We are still warming up. My fancy ruffled daffodils are now blooming, as are hyacinths, and the tulips will burst open any minute now in a riot of color. In the Hudson Valley, petals are gracefully trailing to the ground at acres and acres of fruit orchards. Spring is glorious. And wow, my eyes are itchy and red from the pollen party.
We've had a very, very long winter here (the high was a balmy 45 today!) so our trees are still bare. But I know lilac season will come eventually and I can't wait to go outside and huff the air like a total weirdo.

The screenshot of the tiktok comments just about took me out 🤣 spring really is the best!
