When the Tennessee Williams Festival was happening, it felt so good to be reimmersed once again in literature – oh yeah, remember that old chestnut. A long time ago when I was figuring out my life I figured it would revolve around literature and art and whatnot, instead somewhere about 16 years ago, I started working in the financial industry where well read authors were those who wrote books called Blink, The 7 Habit of…
Lately, it seems that I am constantly weighing what to leave in and what to leave out. At the core of who I am these days is a mother, a partner, and a family: But I’m also a friend too and sometimes when you have become isolated from your friends because of work and your family, it’s nice to know they can pick up the ball and reach out and touch you. I woke yesterday…
The summer is heating up and the days of 80 degrees are long gone, hello 90’s, hello humidity, hello no rain. And hello Mr. Tin coming at you with the cool sounds of New Orleans, where we are all guardians of the groove.
I’ve always been a hat person – love them and love to wear them. But wait, there’s more, I love wigs too. I love to change my hair and often.

A friend stopped by yesterday and said that she is going into business – the business of having a more tempered lifestyle, one where work doesn’t overshadow every other facet of her life.

No time for meditation, no time for contemplation, and certainly no time for relaxation. What goes on?
So far the fortnight of fasting that got underway on Monday – not really fasting – more like eating all my vegetables and not having any extras like alcohol or Brocato’s added to my diet – is not as bad as you would think. There is something calming about getting down to basics – and after having prepared for this week by cooking two lovely filets of drum, a saute of leeks and carrots with…
Do something you love And you will find all the energy and resources you need. Do something you hate and you will feel like hitting your head with bricks. You may quote me on this one.
I heard they moved the Rapture date since it didn’t happen a few weeks ago. Does anyone know when to expect it?
Everyone in this household woke this morning in a better mood. Don’t know why or what or who to credit so I just went with it.
There has been a preponderance of exercising people in City Park these days. I came across a herd of young boys (sans shirts) marching with a sort of skip through the grass under the majestic oaks. Then on the other side, on the great lawn, a gaggle of girls were lifting weights and grunting. Strange things are going on.
