“One pill makes you larger, and one pill makes you small.  And the ones that your mother gives you, don’t do anything at all.  Go ask Alice, when she’s ten feet tall!”  Isn’t it interesting how we have developed into a society that expects instant results and judges based on what we see.  It isn’t […]

If you know me, you are probably thinking I’m going to confess a mark left (or at least a stain) by some hairbrained idea that I thought would be fun and of course safe for a woman of a certain age.  But today I am moved more by the biography I’m reading.  I love biographies

Thursday I was going out of town so I asked my husband to bring down the littlest roller bag because I was ‘traveling light’!  As I packed for my trip, I noodled on what ‘traveling light’ through life means.  For many years I had to travel for business.  Sometimes weekly and at times I was

Something Albert Einstein once wrote to his friend Otto Juliusburger inspired me. “People like you and me, though mortal, of course, like everyone else, do not grow old no matter how long we live.  What I mean is that we never cease to stand like curious children before the great mystery into which we were

When I was ten-years-old, we moved back to Prescott, Arizona and away from the lush garden, fruit trees and road side produce stands that provided the bulk of our diet in the San Joaquin Valley.  We also bought our first television set and suddenly Saturday mornings were all about cartoons.  My favorite was Popeye and
