I Love Pop Culture

A day at the NY apartment with my girls. Jammies all day. The morning news was quickly changed to VH 1.

The girls walked over to visit grandpa and left me . . . → Read More: I Love Pop Culture

Unresolved Issues

What do you do when you have unresolved issues? Isn’t the answer obvious? Resolve them. I am a “fixer”. I dedicate my time to keeping all aspects of my life in order.

Freedom..No..True Freedom

True freedom is when the curtain is finally lifted and we see that which has been hidden within ourselves, keeping us prisoner.

With Autumn We Turn Inside

It’s here. No, really here. I know the first day of fall occurred weeks ago, but the weather has been so warm and forgiving, I’ve been denying summer really just turned and walked away. Then this morning the weatherman said it : snow. It’s a bit of a flurry that has a mere chance of . . . → Read More: With Autumn We Turn Inside

There’s Something In the Journey

As horrible and painful the first six months of this journey were, it definitely happened for a reason. We all move through the decades of our lives between the twenties and the sixties by going through cycles, much as the seasons do.
