Feeling a bit out of sorts? Not quite yourself? Stressed about the uncertainty of the future?
Exhale, you are in very good company!
Life usually feels pretty good when you are in the driver’s seat. You know, those times when you have 20/20 vision and your path is crystal clear. You have a destination or goal, decide your timing, who is joining you, and how you’ll make whatever you want happen. In a nutshell, the world is your oyster and you’re in control.

In the last few weeks, conversations with clients, friends and family have elicited a similar theme in sentiment about 2020 – it’s a really bad year…perhaps the worst year ever. While there are many reasons this year may fall to the absolute bottom of our list, I find it interesting (albeit understandable) that we have already decided its place on the leaderboard with half a year left.

La Jolla native Ilene Schaffer (nee Ilene Brenner) is purposely and contagiously positive. So much so, that birds zipping by her dark blonde hair (and this reporter’s blonde locks) at the Pannikin Coffee House one afternoon is not only cause for a laugh-filled pause, but a helpful reminder that the birds are probably contributing to elevated cortisol levels.
