There are those days in life that you realize that no one gets out unscathed, unhurt. This was one of those days! We had loved her unconditionally and she had done the same for us but her body was shutting down, she had given it all. She had been in every significant moment cheering these two ki...
Last Saturday morning I was walking along the shoreline, in a few places along the trail, there are trees between the water and the trail, as I tucked around this tree imagine my surprise when I happened upon this beautiful little Fairy Garden.
It felt like a moment of magic was upon me, ripe ...
I have gone sailing most every year for the last 10 or so years. Being on a sailboat is like returning to the womb for me. The quiet, the rock of the water, the smell of the ocean air, all if it providing a comfort that I get no where else. When I am on a boat each morning I get up early with ...
It began as a dream in early 2008, we could buy a boat, circumnavigate the world, be together all the time. We were in those early days of being in love when everything seems possible and reality is long forgotten. We found our Munay in Fiji, went out for an initial sea trial and then returned t...
Someday the woman wishes the dirty dishes made it to the sink, that the sneakers weren’t dropped in the middle of the room, that there were more hours in the day, no correct that I don’t want or need more hours in the day.

I sat alone, journal on the table, writing, thinking about bicycling, bicycling in this place of a million bicycles, I too wanted to bicycle, to join in with the crowd not to move furniture like some do but to explore this place, this place full of history and story, this place of cafes and coffee...
It is simple, symmetrical beauty. I can imagine it’s fragrance, sweet and delicate. I can feel it’s soft skin, tender and supple to the touch. I can catch it out of the corner of my eye as I walk through my neighborhood, simple beauty during a slow walk on an average
...Today, I booked a flight to Paris. This trip is part healing journey, part future reconnaissance mission and part letting my inner gypsy stretch her wings after a year of staying put! It has been two years since I have been to the city of lights.  The last time I was in Paris I was a wife, celebra...
Today was a beautiful, warm, sunny day in San Diego. As my Sunday went by with intentionally less things on my to do list, I found myself early this afternoon debating, do I stay in perhaps enjoy a good book on my balcony, watching the sailboats elegantly glide the waters of the bay or do I leash B...
As I write this, it is Easter Sunday, April 4, 2021, this afternoon I was moving some items around to organize them in my spare room closet when I decided to look through a box of old photos.Â
I have tended to avoid looking at old photos since there are those photos that remind us of those no longe...
If you have been following me for a while now, you know that I have been studying Shamanism for about 15 years now. One of the concepts you learn about in Shamanism is the concept that we each have an Assemblage Point. Our assemblage point is the point on our body where we are connected to all tha...
I have always wanted to live in a foreign country, primarily I have always wanted to live in France or at least it has been on the top of my list. Now it could be the romanticizing of the French approach to life, that whole joie de vivre (aka the joy of life), sure or it could be the fact that I sp...
