State of Mind

September 10, 2021 By Carol

Dear Reader, It has been some time since I have written to you.  I apologize for the delay. So much is happening. I try to see the sense of it. I confess, I am baffled by the story we are living through. Stepping back, I attempt to increase my scope. I see heavy overlays of […]

Unusual mail

September 4, 2016 By Carol

September 3, 2016 Every now and then, something comes through the system that shows cleverness and humor. Last month, I delivered a beach ball. You can see the address with the delivery confirmation label lifting off the curved surface. Then on the other side of the sphere, the message…”Hope you bounce back”- just made my […]

My thanks and apologies…

April 6, 2011 By Carol

The handwritten letter gets results!

March 22, 2011 By Carol

March 22, 2011 This past weekend I saw the movie: Hereafter, and I was struck by two things… One, there was George, an extremely sensitive man who did not own any “gadgets.” No cellphone, no iPod, no television.  He just had a CD player for his audio-books. Secondly, George writes a letter and gets results! […]

Happy Chinese New Year!

February 3, 2011 By Carol

February 3, 2011 2011 -The Year of the Rabbit promises a more congenial period after the high energy of the Tiger. Diplomacy will be favored over force. The downside… perhaps could be too easygoing, and carefree, possibly avoiding confrontations because of the unpleasantness involved….To gain the greatest benefits from this time, focus on home, family, women […]

December 25, 2010

December 25, 2010 By Carol

Ho, Ho, Ho! Whatever your religious persuasion, today is a holiday for many people in many countries.  Family and community gatherings are happening,  along with gift-giving, feasting and well-wishing.  It’s the end-of-the-year family party to honor endings and new beginnings.  I especially enjoy holidays because the pace slows,  schools, businesses  and stores are closed.  And […]

Holiday stamps from Finland

December 24, 2010 By Carol

December 24, 2010 These stamps came in today.  Chilly and colorful.  I like the Aurora borealis in the background.  Anyone else care to share their holiday stamps….?

Holiday stamps

December 23, 2010 By Carol

December 23, 2010 I’ve seen some marvelous holiday stamps this season.  However, I have a special fondness for Wallace and Gromit.  In case you don’t know, they are British cartoon characters- Wallace and his dog, Gromit.  The dog is the brains in the duo.  He doesn’t have a mouth, so all of his expressions are […]
