Hello Dear Reader, Jambo! Soo good to be back with you! I’ve missed you. It’s been way too long, but I do have a really good excuse: We are just back from a totally amazing trip to Africa – Tanzania actually. Since we got back, I’ve been asked several times about what was the part [...]
Hello Dear Reader, I just found the piece below, online, and I want to share it with you. After all, “sharing is caring”, right? It was written by Bronnie Ware, a singer/songwriter from Australia, who spent several years in the palliative care field, caring for people who knew they were dying. Her words, below, are [...]
Last week, when leaving the SF Fine Arts Museum at the Legion of Honor, I passed yet again beneath this statue of Rodin’s “Thinker”. We all know this guy, forever thinking. He’s iconic, right?

Hello dear Reader. It’s good to be back with you. I know it’s been a while, but I don’t like to pester you with a bunch of words based on some artificial schedule as in: “Oh, it’s been 2 weeks, gotta write something.” My words to you, for better or worse, come from my heart [...]
In the spring of 2002, I attended my daughter Julia’s graduation from Smith College in Northampton Mass. Obviously, the best and biggest part of that memorable weekend was about our wonderful Julia – our happiness for and pride in her. Like most of her classmates, Julia was just shy of 22. But there [...]
“My mind is like a bad neighborhood. I try not to go in there alone.” I love this quote from Bay Area author Annie Lamott. At first blush, it’s really funny, but for many of us, despite the fact that we really do need to observe our thoughts and actions carefully, so as to take [...]
I reckon most of us have heard the famous quote: “When a butterfly flaps its wings in one part of the world it can cause a hurricane in another part of the world.” According to Wikipedia, “the ‘butterfly effect’ as the term was originally called, was the brainchild of MIT meteorologist Edward Lorenz. “In 1961 while working [...]
