Exploring Relationships, Love, and Life
Do you plan for the distant future? Where do you see yourself 5 years or even 10 years down the road? Are there action steps you could be taking now to make that happen? Or is the goal so lofty you don’t know where to start? I’m a planner. I’ve fallen into some planning traps…

My friend asked me the question, what are you not going to do this year? Unresolution? I’m teasing, but it’s a valid question. 1. I’m not going to sit behind the computer without taking breaks. I’ve learned my lesson. Physical therapy is costly, and so is a deep tissue massage. 2. I’m not going to…

I think my favorite happy ending is from my childhood called The Little Duck by Judith Dunn. My Grandmother, who wasn’t really my Grandmother but my step-grandmother AKA Gam as we called her. But I digress. She was my Grandmother in every way that mattered. Gam saw a young child who loved to read and…

What am I reading? I’m rereading my most favorite book of all time, Dune by Frank Herbert. To be honest, the Dune movies are the only movies I own. Both the regular version and the extended one. I recorded the Children of Dune miniseries when it came out. With the new dune movie coming out,…
