Good-bye 2025
Well, well, it has been more than a hot minute since I last wrote. My mojo for writing anything outside of my novel and journal was more or less lost. I have been percolating ideas, but also I have been pushing aside the voices in my head out of _____ (fill in the blank with…

Happy New Year: 2025!
Words for 2025: Focus, Stillness and Simplify As I sit and reflect by the pool or Caribbean Sea, I am grateful for the amazing life that we/I lead. We are fortunate to be able to travel as much as we do, experience the things we do, and enjoy life’s many luxuries as we do. We…

Thoughts on the India Experience
The country of India has always held a fascination for me. From the extremes of the shanty towns, slums, to the Bollywood richness, with spiritual spaces, ashrams, to rituals in the Ganges River and festivals of colors and lights, I’ve been curious.

Wedding in India

Traveling….
I’m still alive – a cough lingers in the chest even after almost two weeks, but not suffering. Nothing that a bit of time in the sun can’t cure in a few days. In the meantime, we are in London for a few days. Will try to update on this part of our winter travels…

Reflections: Into 2023 We Go
I wrote this as a draft for another article I was going to submit, but realized it was a bit too personal to share on a non-affiliated space. 🤷🏽♀️ There is some repeat from an earlier post last week, but in any case, I thought I’d put it here for record-keeping and, well, this IS…

Happy 7th Anniversary!
Well, we’ve made it another year together! ❤️ I would do it again and look forward to every additional year of our adventurous life with each other. To be sure, there is yet to be a dull moment and while I might like some aspects to be a little less ‘exciting’, I would not change…
