My friend’s daughter is dying of brain tumor among other complications. She’s two years old and she’s a doll. Last night, I had the privilege of spending the night with her at the hospital again and as I lay beside her listening to her grind her teeth down to the bone while struggling to stay alive – I thought anybody who complains about their life needs to walk a day in my friends’ shoes –…
I was thinking about the title to this book that I just finished by Thomas Wolfe and how I like the title a lot and how it almost reminds me of a few things in my life recently. I came home to New Orleans to reunite with old friends, family and my beloved city and instead I found the mutual attraction that had brought me close to those old friends had long since passed, my…
Someone was incessantly ringing my doorbell yesterday while I was trying to work and I called from the terrace – “Who is it?” and someone answered, “George!” and so I thought it was the guy who originally did my landscaping and said, Ok, be down in a minute. But it was M – that old chestnut – the prodigal son returns, no wiser I might add. We chatted on the porch a little bit and…
Lessons learned at this point – good news always is tempered with not so good news – a lover returns after an odyssey that brings her full circle back to me, her #1, meanwhile, a child struggles for her life for reasons that are beyond any that I could or would imagine; my credit card number is stolen and some fool is out there charging away to a host of sites, of all places spirit…

But boy when you are in alignment with the universe doesn’t everything just feel right? I mean your work is going well, your relationship is top of the charts, you feel good, and despite some flaws you can say…
I was walking quickly through the park this morning, it was drizzling after the hard rain I woke to and thinking about how 24 hours out of commission can set you back on your to do list. This was provoked by a bout of food poisoning – gives you an appreciation for health that you take for granted nearly every day that you have it. I thought how 24 hours passed, the to do list…
T – 7 (read: one whole week and we begin again, as if for the first time). We are going to start over with calendars that are in sync, the old T and the new T have merged, our old plans and our new plans have finally crossed paths, now what awaits us is us – “Can’t you hear my heart beat, for the very first time?” (my Hallmark video for you):
