Tree Talk
I was in a funk. Nothing particularly wrong, just couldn't feel my typical optimism, my usual delight in life. To snap myself out of it, I decided to go to one of my favorite places, a plant nursery about 20 minutes from my home. They typically have well thought-out displays... Continue reading

Remove Shoes before Flying
Some moments in life stand out, never to be forgotten. I have such a moment burned into my memory from about 20 years ago. I stood breathless on the doorstep of my home in the suburbs bidding my good friend, Theresa, goodnight. Theresa had just related a fantastic story about... Continue reading

Birth Control to the Rescue in Arizona!
Here's a new way to recycle and have a little fun. Let's send our used birth control packets to Arizona. Instead of recoiling in horror (as I did) at the prospect of an Arizona bill that threatens the very fabric of what it means to be in relationship with other... Continue reading

Thanks! I hope to!
