Joy-Radiating News

During this pandemic season, I found myself drinking excessively. I was still living powerfully, doing amazing work to expand my business, wholeheartedly committed to my role as Assistant Director of Student Affairs at Hunter College, staying connected with friends and family, not really missing a beat. However, my soul and spirit was unsettled. I decided to get grounded in my spirituality and ask for guidance. To date, I haven’t had a drink in in 73 days (but who’s counting?!)

This is our first holiday season, since 2019, that many of us, will reunite with family and friends. For those who have lost loved ones during the pandemic, I am sending you a special prayer of healing and comfort.

I recently I launched “Joyful Conversations With Val”, an interview series committed to empowering, uplifting, and supporting women who are in transition, are ready for a change, are resisting taking that next important step, need to be reminded of their greatness or who are living their best life now!

My new life motto is “Vacation as a way of Life!” and I am guided and uplifted by this theme in every way!
