“For June who loved this garden from Joseph who always sat beside her.” Some people do spend their whole lives together. ~ From the film NOTTING HILL Last week my grandmother’s house was put on the market, the house she’d lived in for most of her 98 years. My mom sent me a photo of the […]
On a recent flight, I ran across a story about the first female pilot to fly for a major US airline. In 1973, Bonnie Tiburzi Caputo, at age 24 literally soared above that glass ceiling. Today, American Airlines continues to honor her feat by bestowing an annual $50,000 grant, aptly titled The Bonnie Award, to […]
Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr were on CBS Sunday Morning to talk about the Ron Howard documentary, EIGHT DAYS A WEEK: The Touring Years (which is in my Hulu queue!). They talked about the rocket ship early days in 1963 when they rode their unprecedented meteoric rise on the simplest of ideas. “It was really simple […]
“The key to change…is to let go of fear.” ~ Rosanne Cash I posted this quote on my social media this week and this question came back: How do you do that? It got me thinking about fear and how just the very mention of the word can stop us in our tracks […]
I got an email from a woman who said the message from last week’s ezine hit her inbox at just the right time because she was going through some of the same issues I addressed in the article. I get similar emails each week, which is beyond gratifying because it’s reason I started sending them […]

Previous month: June 2013 Next month: September 2013 It could be rather cliche that I would post an article about freedom on Independence Day. But, what can I say? The holiday got me thinking about all of the various connotations of freedom and independence. Yes, the holiday is about the literal freedom and independence of […]
Early this year science news was abuzz with talk about a rare 5-planet alignment that was visible to the naked eye for the first time in over a decade. In a cloudless sky you could gaze toward the east to see Mercury, Venus, Saturn, Mars & Jupiter all lined up. I think a lot about […]
My life looks completely different than it did a year ago, two years ago. Five years ago. This thought came to mind early one recent morning on the pickleball court. It was just after my birthday, the time of year when I love to pause and reflect on things, what I’ve learned that I might […]
What do you believe in? It’s funny sometimes what gets you thinking about the deep questions. This time, for me, it was Crash Davis. His “I believe in… kisses that last three days…” speech in BULL DURHAM, got me thinking about how I’d answer Annie Savoy’s question,”What do you believe in then?” That led to […]

Dates that signify and recognize events with special meanings, like Passover and Easter, wedding anniversaries, birthdays of loved ones who have passed […]
Who Am I? This is one of the big questions I pose every morning as part of my meditation and journaling ritual. Some days the question is the only thing I write down and the only query on which I meditate. It’s a lot to contemplate. Or not. This week as I asked the question, […]
