Somewhere Only We Know....


Tonight, the love of my life has given me one of the greatest gifts I honestly have ever received... in lieu of a "Mother's Day" present, BJ gave me tickets to the KEANE concert. I am not joking, this is the best gift I have ever received... why you ask? KEANE is my absolute favorite band in the entire world.... if you have not heard of them, they are a small, "indie", band from the UK... anyways, they rarely come to North America (when they have in the past it has typically been to Canada or the Portland, OR area) and I have NEVER had the chance to see them live. BJ promised me that whenever they journey back to the States, he would take me... regardless of where they were playing, we would get on a plane and go....

NO PLANE NEEDED!! Tonight, yes tonight, KEANE is playing at the Dallas House of Blues.... doors open at 6pm, and we will be there at 6pm. I CANNOT WAIT.

Baby Rector, I can't believe I am saying this... but STAY PUT for at least the next 14 hours. Thank you!

I will brag about the concert tomorrow... for now, I am off to listen to my favorites as I prepare for the greatness that is tonight... thanks BJ, I LOVE YOU!

Have fun lady...you deserve this! You may want to bring a towel or something just in case your water breaks while you're swaying to your favorite song! :)

Jackson Hole Rector Family Favorites

We love to travel - honestly, can never get enough of it and hope to see so much of this big ole' world in this lifetime. Because we are not professional travelers (but like, can I sign up for that?) we have limited time and resources just like most people do. I LOVE to explore new places - cities, countries, cultures and we need to get to it if we want to even scratch the surface of globe trotting. There are, however, a few places that continue to call us back over and over again.... one, Hawaii: another post for another time, but we have been so fortunate to go almost annually with BJ's parents since I met and married him. What a gift we will never take for granted! We have so many fun memories, moments and suggestions for Maui and Kauai, but that I'll save that for another day. two, Jackson Hole: our very favorite summer destination. I cannot imagine growing tired of the Grand Tetons and this little spot of the country is our dose of heaven on earth. We've traveled a...

Where'd You Go, Bernadette?

THE OVER-SHARER SHARES AGAIN   For the very small handful of people who have asked, I’m answering to the masses (err, bigger handful). On February 1, I decided to take a social media fast. Our church was challenging us to a 21-day fast and I chose to fast not from food but from something else I had been looking to for satisfaction, delight or distraction. Here we are at the beginning of summer, and with the exception of popping on to facebook to check in with my business partners, I have found great freedom stepping away from social media (right now). Currently, I don’t have a plan to return, but I also know that I should never say never…. …Watch me pop right back in and eat crow in mere moments if I was to say I would be off of it forever. Honestly, social media has been a beautiful thing for me personally, and professionally, for well over a decade. It has allowed me to authentically and organically share my passions, ask my questions, get and give referrals, build and reconn...

12 years later.

Tonight, 12 years ago, I enrolled as a Rodan + Fields consultant. I’ve shared so many times about my journey and how I am still taken by surprise for that level of bravery to embark on a professional journey I was so scared to do. Today, on what should be the celebration of my Rodanniversary, has instead turned out to be one of the most surreal, painful, and grief-filled moments of my entire life. The Rector’s livelihood was taken away in an instant with a restructuring of R+F’s business model… I woke up today having no clue I would be receiving this news and am finishing the day pinching myself to see if I am really and truly experiencing this nightmare.  I have one million thoughts and none at all at the exact same time. Tonight, after processing the reality for myself and with BJ, we chose to sit Eleanor and Tripp down to have the impossible conversation with them - one we genuinely never dreamed could ever come about. And I never want to forget what we talked about around our d...
