Celebrating my post-birthday weekend (at 56, how crazy is that!) in the Hamptons. It’s a place I have always fondly visited for many years. I love reflecting on the days when we used to shoot here all the time. So many great memories. It was also so much quieter then ;)) This cover was from 28 years ago, a crazy idea half a lifetime ago! But I can honestly say that I feel better now than I did then. Don’t get me wrong, I wouldn’t mind some perks of being much younger, but I’m fully okay with where I am today. There are some little changes in my body that are at times hard to accept, but when you do accept them, they just fall away and then … another one shows up, and you have to accept that too. Like saggy skin on my elbows. I was in a yoga class yesterday and suddenly noticed this funny-looking skin, it was shocking to see it on myself, my skin hanging differently. Oh well, that’s life. Lauren Hutton once said to me that when we first met, I had told her she reminded me of my mom. She didn’t take it so well then, but for me, it was the biggest compliment I could give her. She said that was a time when she was struggling with getting older, but with a beautiful smirk, she said she’s so past that stage and would totally be able to see it as a compliment and embrace that moment. Of course, easier said than done. Each phase of life is filled with new challenges, yet finding acceptance is the key. My 2 cents of the day 😉

Life seems to always get interrupted , a wonderful quote from Beatrix Ost which she taught me many years ago. To know it’s part of our learning process of growing and to let go more and more and to try to flow with it. Sometimes easier said than done. I’m learning. Which is the fun part to be able to become lighter. Our world is increasingly unsettling. The storms of the last few weeks and the air quality due to the fires , all of it suddenly what we heard about is at our doorstep. How can it be that in this country people still debate climate change. This time we were the lucky ones, for now and that we didn’t get flooded , we took some water in but nothing like some parts north of us and in so many parts of the world. The heat in some parts of the US , crazy! Yet with all the unrest and craziness I find joy in all the small things. Being upstate sharing with friends and family , eating, drinking, swimming with the Koi and gardening…

Today is a significant day, marking the anniversary of my mother’s passing, many many years ago. She is with me, and I continue to celebrate her life always. While there have been moments when I longed to be embraced by her and feel her unconditional love, I have also found solace in viewing life through a different perspective. Instead of succumbing to anger and sorrow, I made a conscious decision to embrace life with full force. I carry my parents presence close to my heart, allowing their love and guidance to be a constant source of comfort. I am grateful for the years I had them by my side during the most pivotal moments of my formative years; they have shaped me into the person I am today. Even their passing made me stronger and more positive in my outlook to life. As I reflect on this journey, I am reminded of a quote by Rumi: “The wound is the place where the Light enters you.” Realizing the profound beauty in these poetic words, I have come to understand that our wounds can lead us towards a life we genuinely desire to live. #beingheld Piece by artist Jeff Soderbergh

Ikigai is a Japanese concept that combines the terms iki, meaning alive or life, and gai, meaning benefit and worth. When combined, these terms mean that which gives your life worth, meaning, or purpose. Birthdays, for me, are a special time to reflect on my life. I think about the year I’ve spent, the years to come, and what I have created. I feel incredibly fortunate to be alive, and I am happy and grateful to be here. I am proud of the life I have built. I am surrounded by love, with great friends and family close by. I feel their presence deeply, and I am carried by those who are no longer here. My relationship with my daughter is truly amazing, and it continues to deepen and grow stronger with each passing year. Every day, I wake up with a sense of curiosity about what life has in store for me. I am excited to learn and discover more about myself. Growing is a blessing, and I find great pleasure in understanding and nurturing my body, mind, and soul. Taking care of myself through healthy eating, a positive outlook on life, engaging in different yoga, pilates, tennis and always deeply connecting with nature. I look forward to some of the new projects that are coming and especially the ones where I’m giving back. It’s all part of a wondrous journey that I have come to truly enjoy. So, here’s to me on my birthday.🍾🎉💃 Cheers! #happybirthday

Life has a knack for springing unexpected challenges upon us We are all bound to encounter these curveballs. Sometimes they strike us with force, while others we manage to navigate smoothly. Adversity is an inescapable aspect of life, and how we confront it molds us. I have discovered the power of embracing the hurdles thrown my way and finding the silver lining. In some instances, it’s not an easy feat. But it is in these very moments that we experience personal growth. #❤️youThier #ProudofyouScyler #thankyouschatzie
Back in New York City. The city that never sleeps, a place that can control you, but if you can control ‘her’, she is fabulous. Life here is always a balancing act, just like everything else. After a summer of rejuvenation, we dive back into the bustling city once again, with numerous events centered around art, fashion, film, dinners, and the changing climate. It’s a time of inspiration and gearing up to do more good. I find myself back on my Lekker Bike, cruising along the East River after a beautiful night of celebrating yet another dear Virgo, @donnadcruz1 , at one of our favorite restaurants, @indochinenyc With temperatures soaring to 95 Fahrenheit, my skin is definitely glowing from the summer sun and the great products I’ve used. Special thanks to @orvedaskincare for their fantastic toner, cream, and eye cream, @rachel_roy for the amazing oils,and @evelom for their beloved cleanser. I also want to express my gratitude to Shan for providing me with some new autumn pieces. @shancollectionsofficial and @lidiacortinakarras, you have enhanced my look ;))

On a road trip, and being driven is a whole new experience. Feels good! Hello Cape Cod 🐟
The Cape, what a magnificent place. It is truly one of those magical spots. You can take nature hikes, explore serene beaches, and marvel at the sight of seals and sunsets. Occasionally, you might even catch a glimpse of a humpback whale exhaling through its spout. The knowledge that majestic great white sharks are cruising nearby adds another element of awe to the wonders of nature that surround us. It is wonderful to spend time with the family and dear friends in this glorious setting. Definitely coming back here! #capecod
The pursuit of joy, for me it is in the appreciation of life’s small wonders that true contentment can be found. The ephemeral beauty of a blooming peony, the serenity of a peaceful swim in a lake, and the delightful chirping of birdsong all bear witness to the fleeting yet marvelous nature of existence. Like our wonderful cat Airgy who is still walking this earth after 18 years. Visiting an eccentric dear old friend reminiscing of some of our funny experiences long ago. Life is not just a means to an end, but a curious and ever-unfolding mystery.
