Sealed with a kiss.

The Golden Rule says, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” I’ve heard the problem with the Golden Rule is that we actually do it. How can this be a bad thing? It is, if we don’t love ourselves. How can we possibly give what we do not possess? Is loving [...]

Give yourself an A in 2019

2019-02-08T18:41:14-05:00

Photo: Halo on a Mountain - taken on 8/29/2018 while hiking in Mt. Rainier National Park. This was one of my favorite days of 2018.   What if you were guaranteed an A in the coming year? What's an A? It’s hitting the mark. It’s getting what you want. It's making a difference. What does that [...]

Stone Soup

2018-11-21T09:48:58-05:00

Raise your hand if you read Stone Soup as a kid? I was around seven or eight when I read it and remember being really miffed. I thought it was unfair and didn’t like it. Stone Soup is a fable about hungry strangers who enter a town and tell everyone that they are making stone [...]

Now What?

Pic: My determined little girl marching off to Pre-K. Aidan Elaine, August 1996 <Repost from 8/2018)   My Facebook newsfeed is loaded with adorable pictures of little ones heading off to school, teens hitting the high school circuit and parents dropping their "babies" on college campuses. I remember every phase of my kids' schooling, from [...]

Coming Out

2018-08-19T15:40:59-04:00

I left my husband of 25 years for another woman. It was someone I had lost touch with. I take the blame. When I last saw her in college, she was a young woman who wanted to travel the globe, first with the Peace Corps, then just for fun. She was going to move to [...]

How to be Happy(ier).

2018-01-12T17:18:56-05:00

"Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." It’s the American way and one of the most recognized statements from The Declaration of Independence. It sets us apart as Americans. You would think with this fundamental right, we would be the happiest country on the planet. But that’s just not so. Happiness is not only out [...]

Joy in the Journey

2018-06-29T15:13:27-04:00

(Photo: Summer 2016 - somewhere on the Aegean Sea.) Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not: nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not: the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are [...]

The Ultimate Renewable Resource.

2017-08-24T17:03:37-04:00

I didn’t appreciate the magnitude of the Hoover Dam until I saw it with my own eyes. Did you know that the Hoover Dam supplies enough electricity to serve 1.3 million people? Neither did I. You can’t really see where all the magic happens from this picture, but it’s all there… under the mountains of [...]

Learning to Float

2017-08-10T07:49:54-04:00

In the 6th grade, I took a lifesaving class at my local park. One of the first things I learned was the importance of the “dead man’s float.” I am sure you’ve done this a time or two…put your face in the water and just floated on your belly with arms and legs dangling. It [...]
