It doesn’t sound that hard to “be yourself”. But I have spent a life time with that very notion. I love being around people who let me be myself. I am working spiritually on being my best self. I love it when people I hang out with are comfortable enough and in the right mood [...]

Profile Picture + One
“The younger generation” has grumbled about how the average age on facebook is old enough to be grandparents. It didn’t start out that way. But as time goes on, more of us who have seen many more birthdays have found joy in reconnecting with long time friends. In our hectic lives it is time-saving to [...]
Toot My Horn (revisited)
Last year I blogged about tooting my horn. As a massage therapist who is self-employed the only way to have income is to work. Making myself known is imperative. Why is it so hard? In this missive I will try to give an update to that call to action. I don’t need to tell anyone [...]
Red Light, Green Light
Red light, green light I hope it’s not going to take my whole life until I learn the importance of rest. How ironic! Sometimes it feels that way. Why is it so difficult for me to give myself a break? If you go on vacation, change your location, turn off all your connections to the [...]

I remember vividly their discussions at the dinner table about the Vietnam War, Capitol Punishment (why do people kill people, who kill people to show [...]
I see you
It was risky but I did it. It may not sound like much, but I went to see Avatar. This is a movie that I have heard about for months. It is getting rave reviews and it is causing such a stir in various conversations. I had severe reservations. Not the least of which was [...]
Toot My Horn
In Atlanta traffic, it is imperative that your horn works. Sounding your horn makes others aware of your presence. “Hey! Here I am!” We have all used our horns in this manner. Ok, there are other things you can communicate with your horn, but that’s for another conversation. I am talking about making your presence [...]
