Could they be the key to reducing our cultural empathy deficit? Some thoughts, the story of my first intergenerational friendship, and links to a cause near and dear...
Love all of this. How absolutely wonderful is your friendship with Marcia, and totally relate to the gifts of being with our shiny, happy (🙌) younger crews!! And that is truly beautiful about your mothers cuff, and cause. 🙏🏻💕
Thank you, Jenni! I am so grateful for all of it (even if I don't always understand what the younger crew is saying!). And yes, UCT is doing amazing work- I know my mom would be thrilled to be a part of it! xo
This is such an excellent topic and thoughtful appreciation of what it means to move through life as friendships grow, change and new ones evolve. Yes to inter generational friendships, they really do bring so much to the table. I’m learning and connecting with my daughter in law who sparks so many emotions in me from reminding me of myself and then showing me how she’s navigating a very different world on her own two feet. It’s a beautiful thing….
I love this topic and couldn’t agree more. I think much of my love of Miami has to do with its agelessness. We are comingled here. Especially in Veblen! 😘
Loved this! I too have learned so much from my almost-grown kids and their friends. They're growing up in a world that is so different from the one that shaped me.
So is "coded" what we would call "in a nutshell"? I'm still a novice at decoding Gen Z speak, as my kids are kind enough to use common language. :) Nipa
Thanks , Nipa! It's such a joy to spend time with them, and always enlightening in some way!
As for the word coded, my (new) understanding is that it's a thing that reminds you of another thing, or gives a similar vibe. So a brand of clothing that is classic, elegant and comfy would be Nipa coded! xx

Thank you- so happy you enjoyed! What a beautiful connection to have with your daughter-in-law- how lucky you both are to have each other! xo
