Back to the Beginning
My friend Clay encouraged me to re-read my very first post earlier this week. It was short (see below, that’s all there was to it) I think I had it on Typepad at that point. The old stuff is still …
2019 in Review
Every year I send a holiday card. This year was hard, and my annual card reflected that. I closed 2019, the same way I closed 2017 and 2018, at a silent candle lit Tula Hot Yoga Class that ended at mid-night, …

Musical Guilty Pleasures
My friend Clay recently shared his. I didn’t really think of my music listening this way until I saw his list. I will confess that I really love Taylor Swift songs and I might turn up her songs and sing …
