I did want to share a few of my photos. These first two are of the amazing foliage. I felt so blessed to be a part of those crisp days and glorious colors.

And this is Gillette Castle. Which, in some ways looks like Fred and Wilma should live there

And my favorite [...]

I never finished a column for the May issue of ATG. That is the first issue in….ages…that I have not made a deadline. Yes, I have missed mid-issue updates, but the first time I haven’t hit the release of an issue.
I started three different columns, by the way. All of them updates [...]

I stayed out until 2 am……something I haven’t done in ages and ages. I went out with “Buddy Boy”, who is actually an ex-boyfriend who has remained one of my best friends since my divorce. He recently broke up with his girlfriend and we decided a night out would be beneficial to [...]

Though the sexiest plane ever is the P51 Mustang….when it comes to BEAUTY and making my heart go pitterpat?  B17…Flying Fortress….
I’ve been doing a little bit of research - not much, but a little….

I’m at the airport…..it’s one of those weeks….busy - but those who know me best know that I prefer to be busy.
Last weekend, I worked and read.  This weekend, I worked on stuff that no one will see the results of for a month or so.  It’s one of those things - what many folks [...]

My clothes are basically laid out but they aren’t seeming to hop into my suitcase on their own. I guess I should be packing.
I think I may have actually worked too much this weekend. Though the dog has loved me being home and pretty much in one place, I’ve spent the majority of time [...]

I’ve been a Tarot.Com subscriber to my horoscope for the last 5 or 6 years. I’m one of those skeptical believers, if that makes sense.
For today:
Do whatever it takes now to fulfill the promises you made. Over the next few weeks, the Sun in your 10th House of Status can emphasize your obligations at [...]

The journey I’ve been on has been certainly has been leading me to spending my time on things that I enjoy. I want more from my life than just going to work and coming home. I want things that feed my intellect…speak to my creative soul….and challenge my gypsy leanings.

I confessed something to the Pilot Guy the other day.  We were doing the typical negotiation of your schedule VS my schedule VS family responsibilities VS desire.  I had an opportunity to make a quick visit and while my heart wanted to go, my head prevailed, and I told him not this time.
It’s one of [...]

So, as soon as I landed Thursday night, I meet one of my oldest (as in known the longest - not age - lol) clients for dinner. Of my clients….I have to say that his the first one I felt this instant connection with. One of the novels I have rolling around in [...]

I attended my first yoga class yesterday. It was a beginner’s yoga - and the point of taking it is to learn the basics of the poses - and to truly study yoga as a practice, not just exercise.
I picked a good class, I think. It’s Baptiste Power Yoga as the philosophy…. It’s [...]
