I had a chat with a friend recently declaring emphatically, as I’m known to do, that I wanted to embrace a more expansive, less frenetic approach toward my world. Sidenote: this is not the sort of exclamation you share with just ANY friend, but the kind of friend who won’t immediately laugh until tears run [...]
I love to laugh. My mother and I could make each other laugh as big as anyone! She was just FUNNY. Her world view, despite a tremendous amount of adversity, was one where her glass was infinitely full, until it wasn't and then she left the planet. I hope to leave as swiftly if my [...]
I’m the first one to admit, I’m a flawed human being. With the passing of years, I know inside myself I am a good, loving and well meaning individual. I don’t dwell on the negative, though when I have a learning curve, I address it my way and in my time. This makes me not [...]
Sitting high above the clouds on an immense plane headed far east to Shanghai, realizing the difficulty of spending 14 hour enroute with no technical devices to contact my work or friends, I twitch and turn with issues heavy on my mind.

[...]

As I feel the 'old' in my world coming up again, feelings, situations that I recognize, I realize they are the mirages I need to catapult me elsewhere.....somewhere more fitting for [...]
....maybe I'm in need of a Cool Off at this point in my day. My dog Ernie woke me by jumping on my bed, (pretty much not allowed) at 5am. I remember seeing a small tick on my sheets the other evening after he did the same thing and POPPED out of bed this morning [...]
A band came to play at Carl House last weekend. As the owner, well, it's not considered kosher to hop into the middle of the dance circle and rock out....but I am a dancer....I was maybe born wiggling and moving fresh from the womb. I need action and movement. And I feel action and movement [...]
....in the middle of a luscious brown cement floor. I love discovering new spaces which FEEL right to me.I walked into the Athens Salon and Spa and was immediately inspired, by the colors, the decor, the product line (Bb shampoos and conditioners), the jewelry and the entire business model which each practitioner demonstrated will skillfull [...]
