A wish for the day

It seems so simple. It is moments like this you wonder how we made it so complicated. It just doesn’t have to be difficult. I am sitting here, coffee in hand, looking out at the ocean as the new day begins.  Nothing complicated about it. Yet it provides everything that one can want or need. […]

Vacation day

Every time I hear her singing, no matter what I am doing, I pause and just take it all in.  But then again, it is Nina Simone. This time the song Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood came on.  Take a moment and get lost in it. That song is her cry for understanding when things […]

The power of the possible

The power of the possible. As the day winds down I couldn’t help but think about all the “no” I heard in conversations. You know that conversation..don’t try it or it will never work..or they will say no so why even ask….well you get the idea. But ,also I saw some great positive moments , […]

A timeless choice

McQueen. Steve, that is. What does the very name signify to you?  Some called him the king of cool.

The quiet

It was early as I headed out for the morning Crossfit. As my car crossed the expansion bridge I heard some horns honking and saw a few cars cutting other cars off and everyone ,it seemed, was on a phone or texting…whether in a car or on a bike or walking on the street. It […]

Be the good news

A little good news. That’s all I was hoping for. Not a lot of good news. I wasn’t going to be greedy about it all. Just a little would do the trick. But good news seems to be a rare thing these days.  Doesn’t it seem like everything has turned into just one bad reality […]

The magic of the ordinary

I just learned so much over the last few days. Well, maybe it was more like rediscovering part of myself. I learned to appreciate the things that we usually ignore or , even find annoying. But not over the last few days. You see the grandkids were visiting. Sweet and gentle souls. Excited about the […]

Shedding the moment in the moment

I read the book when it first came out. It captured me completely. But then I watched the movie. I never thought anyone could film this story but there it was.  Wonderful. Recaptures you as the book first did. It got me thinking about so many things. Storytelling in a grand way. Our personal storytelling. […]
