It’s moving day! Two days ago I celebrated my one-year anniversary of having a San Francisco address. I didn’t actually move out here until mid-January, but I established an address several months earlier to help move the process along. Now I am about to start living in my new apartment. Hurray! While I must admit [...]
I’ve had some difficult days recently, struggling with some issues that are almost as stubborn as I am! So I took a break for a few minutes to page through my most recent copy of “O” magazine, where I found a partial quote that intrigued me from “High Tide In Tucson” by Barbara Kingsolver. I [...]
My younger brother and a dear friend of mine are both turning 50 in a few weeks. There is something about living for half a century that has an impact. For some people, like me, this is freeing because I felt I could let go of a lot of illusions and just life my life [...]
I love the energy of living in a big city. I love being able to walk almost everywhere I need to go, or take public transportation. I love the freedom that apartment living brings.

I am traveling back to San Francisco today. Although I have only been gone for 12 days, it feels like a month! I am looking forward to returning to milder weather, public transportation, and even all my boxes! I am ready to unpack and settle in. It will take some time because I still have [...]

It’s Christmas Day. A time to remember the joy of new beginnings – the miracle of new life – the love that exists in the world – the spirit of giving. I am spending this day with family and friends. I am grateful for all the presents that 2008 brought to me – the new [...]
On Friday, the estate sale people finished taking pictures and cataloging my stuff. Everything went up for sale online on Sunday. The virtual tour video people are filming my house today to add a more interesting visual aspect to my house listing. And my house will be for sale within the next few days as [...]
I’m back in San Francisco for a seminar that I signed up for months ago. I thought I would be living here full time at this point, but I still have some of my stuff in Cincinnati. The seminar is about healthy living and today is the first full day, so I am looking forward [...]
Today is Thanksgiving and I wanted to take this opportunity to express my thanks to everyone who has supported me over this past year; to those who have offered words of encouragement; and, who have taken action(s) that has made a positive difference – for themselves and for the world. We live in an incredible [...]
