There are millions of stories swirling around us — tales of whoo-hoo! Tales of OMG-you-have-got-to-be-kidding…
All happening. At the same time. In this crazy world. Like feeling dumb-struck grateful for having two opposable thumbs. Or waking up at three o’clock in the morning with another blast of existential angst. The utter joy when a Gen Z cashier with tattoos, piercings and a beautific smile, bags my groceries at Trader Joe’s. That quick jolt of numbing cold when I get another notification on my phone from… well… the bad news bears.

With a sorta-open heart and kinda-unclenched hands. Thank you for sharing your personal bandwidth and precious time with me and may you find yourself in these stories too.
Please leave your comments because this story-telling business goes both ways. I can’t wait to hear from you!

Hi Everybody! My idea of “sports” is figure skating. Some people would disagree. Especially hockey fans. Chill out… We’re talking about ice-friendly competitions here… That said, I am over the moon because The Los Angeles Kings finally, and I mean finally, won the coveted Stanley Cup. My husband says to…
Hi Everybody! Amy and I… Well Amy… She has been hard at work re-creating my website, my shiny new billboard in the sky. In an earlier blog I wrote about the challenges I have delegating the various tasks of my life to other people and I was holding onto my…
Hi Everybody, Ukulele road warriors, the ones who zig-zag the country performing, teaching, meeting and greeting at festivals and uke groups… They will laugh me off the planet when they find out I have never been to the Midwest. Our Midwest. Okay, hubby and I have grabbed the golden lei…
