A Reality Check
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 that stands out the most, that most impacted me, my main takeaway, so to speak. I've been thinking about that a lot before posting this - to decide what I most wanted to share with you. OF COURSE the … [Read More...]
No Regrets…
Hello Dear Reader, I just found the piece below, online, and I want to share it with you. After all, "sharing is caring", right?

Gratitude – Basic Hygiene For the Heart
Are current events getting to you? Getting you down? They are me.

Beyond Comprehension
Hello sweet reader, Soo good to be back with you again. We are just back from an amazing trip to Turkey, where we had a memorable experience in lots of ways. The people we met, and there were many, were universally warm, friendly, kind and helpful. That part (the people part) was, and always is, the best part of any trip for me. Due to its strategic location at the crossroads of important trade routes, empires, cultures and religions for millennia, Turkey is very, very rich in … [Read More...]
