Life's Great Metaphor
Last week, my plastic surgeon gave me the great and glorious news that I (finally!) could start jogging again – slowly. That was absolute music to my ears and a big, fat Silver Lining of the week! Because we’ve had some rain this week (which is absolutely wonderful news!), I decided that my first jog post-surgery… Continue reading Life's Great Metaphor
Sunday Snapshots: Flowers
This week, flowers are popping up EVERYWHERE in Santa Barbara. Honestly, I don’t know how Mother Nature continues to make Santa Barbara more and more beautiful (Silver Lining).

After my most recent surgery, the ever-thoughtful Ginny sent a box of Ginnybakes goodies to help me recover.… Continue reading Friday's Fixin's: ginnybakes!
Live and Learn – Gandhi
Action
Recently I had an amazing conversation with one of those really special people in life. You know the person…she is enlightened, progressive, smart-as-get-out and simultaneously cool, calm, collected and centered (Silver Lining). We were talking about the concept of obligation in life. Now that I’m feeling better, I’ve been feeling obligated to do this or that. Why? Perhaps… Continue reading Action
