  • Things Are Not Always Clear At The Time

    A year ago a friend and I arrived at Dublin Airport in Ireland and looked to meet up with our driver Ted, our navigator for the next 10 days, as we visited previously selected sites courtesy of the Irish Tour Company that we worked with. Since we were both independent travelers and had different interests…

  • Something Old is New Again

    We often press forward,crossing items off of the proverbial “bucket list”, reaching for the next level in our fitness, clearing out those numerous e-mails before we leave our desk, learning how to use a new tool, and so on. In our culture what’s new is constant new offerings every day. And yet, it’s also wonderful…

  • In Walking Away, We Can Miss A Lot

      I spent a long weekend in Brooklyn, New York where I visited my youngest son.  We walked, we talked, drank great coffee, ate ethnic food and talked about the times we find ourselves in. All too soon it was time to go. I took the subway to Penn Station in New York, and then the New…

  • It’s Your Turn Update.

  • Time Well Wasted

                            Recently, I had the privilege to hear “someone’s heart” about some major decisions regarding a hoped for direction in a relationship and a desire to engage in more frequent work or perhaps a career change. After several interactions and some movement forward, I received…

  • Everyday Delights

                              Good Morning.  Yes I know it’s not Thursday evening nor have I made contact for three weeks.  I’ve been preparing for and have taken a two week hiking trip to Northern England, specifically an 84 mile hike along Hadrian’s Wall Path from…

  • Another View

                      My kitchen window sill always delights with its gift of autumn’s light in the late afternoon.  After a lesson on focusing and composition by a photo friend I was absolutely delighted with the technical accomplishment of shooting a shiny object in sunlight without overexposure and the…
