ELEVATE + THRIVEā¢ Design a Life of Elegance, Ease & Intention. One Choice at a Time. VISIT SARINANICOLE.COM Dear Reader, There's a version of midlife nobody talks about. Not the crisis. Not the reinvention. The morning when you look at everything you've built, basked in early morning light, and wonder: is this actually what I wanted, or is it just what I was good at? I had that morning in 2020. Trinidad, like most of the world, had gone into lockdown and, for the first time in years, I had no...

ELEVATE + THRIVEā¢ Design a Life of Elegance, Ease & Intention. One Choice at a Time. VISIT SARINANICOLE.COM Dear Reader, Last year, this time, I was standing at my desk holding a hard drive I'd just bought. A mechanic's bill was weighing on my mind and a broken dryer kept side-eyeing me every time I walked past it. Yet I felt more settled than I had in a long time. Not because the timing was perfect.
