These last weeks have have been an absolute blur. They have been jammed pack with activities I enjoy and feel very enthusiastic about. Fun stuff, all of it. The problem? I finally came up for air last week and realized it was all too much. Something had to give. At first, the realization made me wonder: was age impacting my …
I know many people are terribly upset by the Supreme Court’s decision on marriage equality. I ask that you take the time to read the closing paragraph of Justice Anthony Kennedy’s opinion on this issue. My hope is that it may clarify why millions, myself included, are celebrating this historic and long over-due decision. The Justice wrote: “No union is …
You may have noticed that I haven’t been here much lately. As my previous post explained, I have been on a creative roll and my time is being spent on a number of exciting projects. One of those is the development of a new blog. It’s a really fun process for me and I am working with a wonderful, dynamic, …
For the last few years, I’ve been experiencing a massive burst of creative energy. So much so, that I sometimes have trouble keeping up with all of the ideas swirling around in my brain.

A blue winter mood used to be much more common around …
I had a meeting this week with our local PBS station, exploring ideas stemming from our wonderfully successful “Wisdom in the Spotlight” production last November. I had no idea how it would go since I’d never done anything like this before. Yes, this is me being nervous. Maybe I shouldn’t say things like this out loud? Maybe I should be all …
There’s a television ad running these days and I have to admit it catches my attention every time. It begins 21 years ago. Katie Couric and Bryant Gumble are just becoming aware of the Internet. Email? What the heck is that? They’re baffled by the technology exploding all around them, as were so many of the rest of us. The …
When my husband retired, he had a number of projects in mind. First off? He attacked the back third of our one acre lot and managed to clear away all of the fence-to-fence blackberry bushes that had been growing for decades.
