I've pushed off this blog post for many a day, but I think that doing it will, or may, actually help me sort things out. Please allow me to open a small door in my heart and pour out a little of my soul, not necessarily to you (although I love friends and loved ones …
Learning From a Life Lived Well…
Today I had the opportunity to say goodbye to a family friend and community icon. Beth Hyatt, along with her husband Dr. Herman Hyatt, have been staples in the San Jose area for many years. Doc Hyatt is, and has always been larger than life, one to take on any challenge and succeed at it, …
Learning a Thing or Two…
(I started this post a little while ago, but with my travel, wasn't able to finish it until now. Interestingly enough, I'm finding that what I'm experiencing now is an extension of what is in this post... I'm thinking there will be a "part 2 to this...) The last couple of weeks have been pretty …
Love Around the World…
Just a quick note today. My bags are packed, passport in hand, #skywarrior status invoked. Getting ready to experience new cultures and lands and share life, love and wisdom there. Looking forward to meeting new people, having new experiences, and learning more about me in the process. Most likely I will be offline for a few …
Rocking at 40,000ft…
I hate turbulence. "no duh", right? No, I really, really hate turbulence. My stress level shoots through the roof just at the thought of it. It is the most unnerving thing I have ever experienced. Coming back from my business trip to Florida a couple days ago, we had what pilots would call some mild …
Gettin to Know Ya…
I'm such a creature of habit... I'm sure we all are, but I'm really bad at it. So much so, that I don't even have to order at some places... they see me coming and my order is up by the time I come in the door. I realize that I've been that way online …
Dancing Redefined…
Today I had the opportunity to watch Tahira The Pure | Dance Theatre prepare for their upcoming show. I have loved dance as long as I can remember, and whether I am dancing or watching, I get excited to see the creative process expressed through dance. Truthfully, I love the creative process in everything, but …
From the Snake’s Perspective…
Ah, the sun's peeking out! Time to come from out of the trees and bushes, and get my tan on! Sun, such wonderful sun. Feels so good on my scales. I've been freezing all day, what with the clouds, wind and trees and stuph... Maybe I can get a little shut eye while I warm …
Hiking in the Huckleberries
Today I felt out of sorts. Not sure why, but I felt like I needed to get out and experience nature. The question was, where to go? I did a quick check of the East Bay Regional Parks, and chose the Huckleberry Botanical Regional Preserve. I could have chosen anywhere, but the little I read …
Nuggets of Gold
Today I had a great conversation with my daughter. We have been so busy, we haven't had one of these talks in weeks... no, months. This was one of those "A to Z" conversations, where we discussed everything from sell-out singers to stuph we did as a family. We also talked about creativity, which, due …
