Well, these are interesting times. Who would have ever thought we'd be living through a global pandemic? Not me! That was always the kind of thing that happened someplace else. Or a very long time ago or possibly way off in the future. But, here we are. The other day, I happened to notice that another "100 Day Project" was beginning on Instagram. I happened to notice on Day 1/100. I've always wanted to participate in this. To be honest, I've started the challenge several times, only to flame ... Continue Reading »

The Fuchsia is Now
It’s been a busy summer. In some ways, it’s zoomed by, faster than should be allowed by law. In other ways it’s seemed to last a very long time. Do you ever feel like you are waiting for something, but you don’t know what it is? Yeah, like that. Hurry up and wait. So what is it that I’m waiting for? I spent four weeks in California over the summer, during which time I taught some private yoga classes, did some editing work, got to attend the premiere of Apocalypse Now Final Cut, spent ...

The Sand Dollar Game
Today is my first full day at Sunset Beach—my favorite place to be. After breakfast, I decided to take a walk down to the breakwater and back, which is just shy of 2.5 miles.

That was the case this morning. Three different layers of clouds, each one moving in a different direction. This is when storms can ... Continue Reading »
