Every single day

I’m a social butterfly.  One of those people who loves any sort of opportunity to chat with new people, experience exciting new things, see new sights.  Very socially oriented. 

As a result, and as a business owner, I LOVE networking events and social mixers.  Most of the people who attend are in business for themselves, [...]

A couple or three…

Every now and again, life on my own timeclock becomes so insanely busy that I can’t find the quiet time I need to write.  When my daughter was in the hurried, harried schedule of the school year, I would get up at 6am, get her breakfast and school gear ready to go and after [...]

One person.

Here I sit, again, writing at my dining room table, with doors fully open, the smell of jasmine and roses, lavendar and rosemary gentlingin on the breeze.   I’ve just been reading news reports and emails regarding the oil well explosion tragically killing 11 workers and the resulting break in the pipeline that is decimating the [...]

Yes, the cocoa worked!

I’ve gotten so many emails wanting to know if I’m sleeping better.  Yes.  I had my cocoa, had a good night’s sleep and am (almost) irritatingly enthusiastic once again.  (OK…well…still just a tidge of an edge, but that’s wearing off.)  The funny thing is that when I’m feeling a bit boxed in by too [...]

Let’s lighten it up, shall we?

Wow.  What a week.  Oil spill creating untold environmental damage.  Volcanic ash clouding the heavens.  Arizona immigration law.  Floods and storms across Tennessee rival Katrina.  Failed terror attempt in the Big Apple. 

Did all this stuff always go on but we just didn’t know it before instant communications?  There are so many dire things happening that [...]

Happy Birthday, Ronni

There is a wonderful blogger, Ronni Bennett, who has been chronicling her life (and that of those aging around her) within the framework of political, personal and world view.  I love her blog…why?  She’s a straight-shootin’, say it like it is, kind of gal.  She is well-informed, does her research on whatever topics she [...]

6.9, 7.2, what are a few points on the Richter Scale between friends?

It’s been quiet in California…too quiet.  I’ve lived in LA since 1996 and have experienced a couple of 4 point something earthquakes, but nothing like the Northridge quake, or like yesterday’s quake in Baja California.  I live in Encino, which is on the NorthWest side of LA — so further from the the Mexico [...]

A glimpse of social stigma…you might have a chuckle at my expense…

Last week it was very cold in LA, wet, rainy…pretty awful for here.  (I recognize that if you live in the MidWest or East Coasts of North America you are rolling your eyes at me, given that I’ve turned into a wimp.)

I was wearing my wet weather rain gear, but had added a few [...]

Happy Thanksgiving to All!

Phew, has it been a challenging year so far…for so many of us!  Always good to take a pause, and give thanks for what we have.  What am I thankful for?  My family, my great friends, you…my readers, who often send much-appreciated comments and emails, and the good fortune to have a roof over [...]

Wildfire, Coyotes and Arson

This time of year is wildfire season in LA — hot, hot temperatures (triple digit plus, plus, plus), and extremely low humidity.  The “Station” fire, which is still burning hot north and west of LA, has now burned an area the size of Chicago and is the largest fire in the history of modern [...]
