Dear Reader, I hope everyone had a pleasant, nourishing Thanksgiving. My day was filled with grateful communications from friends. The main feature on my holiday table was a “vegan meatloaf,” made with plant based Beyond Meat. It was delicious, very filling, but not heavy. I could not eat dessert. After dinner, I logged onto the […]
State of Mind
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 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 […]

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 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
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 […]
