We’re having company on Tuesday. It’s someone I’ve never met and 2 of his friends. They’re coming for 5 days to stay with us on their way from England to a music festival in California. I suppose it’s a sign of the Internet times that a Facebook friend becomes a houseguest with relative ease. When I say relative ease, I

On the top of my monitor is a label which reads, “Am I doing what will get me where I want?” It’s been there long enough that sometimes I can look at it and not really see it.

I was musing the other day on how my entire synchronized swimming career was not documented on film. Nary a slide exists, of which I’m aware, of my days with vaseline in my hair and glittery swim suits. The revelation was fascinating to me when I contrast it with the plethora of photos on the Facebook page of anyone under

One of the things I do is write blogs. There are several and each is written for a different reason. I have my investor real estate page, where I tell people all about the awful things banks have done, this one, where I tell you all the awful things sun and the calendar can do to your skin, and I

Cheryl Davidson, NSD Emeritus is a great teacher. She has a keen sense of what it means to lead and mentor her area. Many times I hear her words floating into my coaching. Linda asked me to speak on the weekly unit call about how to get everyone moving in the same direction and it is Cheryl’s wisdom which forms
