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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...] 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 [...]
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 [...]
Most of my clients are in the part of the San Fernando Valley between Studio City and Calabasas. And many of them live in a part of the valley in the town of Encino and the Encino Hills (between famous Ventura Boulevard, and infamous Mulholland Drive). One of the most commonly used connectors [...]
Just got a tickler from PBS on their series Life (Part 2) which premiers nationwide on September 13. (check local listings.) It is a series aimed at us — the 78 million plus boomers. The series explores how we dealing with aging [me?...not so well! LOL)] and how we are going to have to overcome the [...]
A business colleague and friend asked me today how to get over writer’s block. It’s a good question — especially since writing takes so many forms. With the advent of the computer, many people who may never have had strength in writing are now writing business plans, marketing plans, writing technical manuals…and that [...]
Well, after so many years writing about the 50 plus market, I went ahead and did it. I turned 50 yesterday. When my family had asked me what kind of party I’d like, it had been so many years since I’d actually “had” a birthday party that I had to give it some [...]
When the album, Thriller, came out, I was living in Toronto, paying $465/month rent for a 2-bedroom apartment in a triplex, with an older couple living downstairs. I lived there with my sister and we painted our walls charcoal with white trim, the fireplace grill and radiators gold, and added tons of plants. [...]
