Luckily, the sky didn’t fall on us! I was able to be present, fully focused and engaged in a moment of captured beauty. I intend to keep this transcendent experience alive in my consciousness to enlighten me when the sun sets early.

Now we move into fall; with the fading of light, the leaves are turning and falling. The crisp, cooler temperatures offer a definite vigor. I ...

Dear Friends,

All our rain is bearing fruit. We are all going to have a great hydrangea season. Last year, because gardens were lush with large green leaves and zero blossoms, we’ve been given more than a generous amount of healthy blossoms. I’m fascinated to remember back when ...

Dear friends,

I teased my daughter Brooke in late November when we were continuing my month-long birthday celebrations; I told her I didn’t want the magic to end in December. “It doesn’t have to. We won’t let it.” December is a month when each day gets shorter ...
