Reimaging Grief and How to Turn Pain into Purpose ☀️

Issue 4


Welcome!

Welcome back to my Reimagine newsletter! I’m so grateful to have you here and on this journey with me. Summer seems to be flying by, and while I am trying to slow things down a bit and savor the sunny days, I am fueled by all the exciting updates I have for you and feeling a true sense of living my life’s purpose. I hope you enjoy reading!

It’s been a whirlwind of excitement - here’s the latest!

“How to Launch a Purpose Driven Project” Workshop

I had the most amazing time during my first workshop, “How to Launch a Purpose Driven Project.” I left the workshop feeling inspired by the conversation and the incredible insights shared by our guest speakers and all who participated, of all ages. These workshops are small steps towards making the choice to live a more purposeful and impactful life. Thank you to those who joined for making it an amazing kickoff in my workshop series.

Exciting Book News!

I am THRILLED to announce that I have officially submitted my manuscript for my upcoming book, Reimagining Grief, to be released on June 16, 2026. Thank you to everyone at Hay House and to my brilliant co-author, Sara Bliss, for making this dream a reality. My book is about navigating grief and life’s challenges with love, connection, and positivity. Stay tuned for more details about the release and updates in the coming months.

PFF Donor Match!

A generous donor is matching all donations up to $100,000 to help us end NF. We have only until July 31st to reach this goal. This means $10 becomes $20, and $50 becomes $100. Every Penny Counts, and every gift makes a difference. We WILL find a cure for NF but we could not do it without everyone's support, so please know how grateful we are for the support. Text “Penny” to 801801 or donate at the link below.

Upcoming Events & Announcements!

Lilly Pulitzer In-Store Events

Lilly Pulitzer’s exclusive print “Penny’s Playground” is available online and in stores! To celebrate, I will be at the Greenwich store location on Saturday, July 26th from 11-1 to talk with shoppers, share Penny’s beautiful story, and advocate for an end to NF. Other store location events are Nantucket on July 26th and Watch Hill on August 2nd. More store events such as Charleston and Palm Beach are in the works so stay tuned and thank you for shopping!

Upcoming Workshop To Be Announced!

After the success of last week’s workshop, I am so excited to announce that my second workshop, “How to Turn Pain Into Purpose”, will be taking place via Zoom in early September. 

Specific date and times will be announced soon. It will be an inspiring conversation on reimagining loss and turning that pain into inspiration to help others.

See you next time!

We are officially halfway through summer, but we still have lots to look forward to. My Reimagine community is what fuels me to keep going and inspire others to live more purposefully, so thank YOU! Have a beautiful day!


Sending JOY, love and laughter,
