The sun is peeking out from the soft grey clouds and my private little deck beckons. Listening to the birds and the trees on a quiet morning while the rest of the house still sleeps, is one of my favorite times of the day. No one needs anything, other than the hummingbird who just cruised … Continue reading Morning thoughts

Responsibility – personal or professional?
Allow me to share a recent occurrence with you, both to clarify that my life isn't perfect and to, hopefully, garner some opinions. Last month, I had a little "incident" while on the ferry traveling to Martha's Vineyard. We arrived at the terminal, approximately 35 minutes prior to our departure and were directed into a … Continue reading Responsibility – personal or professional?

When the tide is out there's the shallowest of tidal pools under … Continue reading A bridge, a baby and some boys
Vision
The most remarkable thing happened this week - an occurrence which could be considered as a divine lesson about yielding control and letting the miraculous happen. I mean, if you're inclined to think that way. Decide for yourself. My youngest son, who has extremely poor eyesight, placed (with great care, I'm sure) his glasses on … Continue reading Vision
