My vision became a central issue of my life in early December when I experienced a bothersome and what I thought was a relatively minor vision problem. This problem was compounded the day after Christmas when I lost the vision in my right eye. There were three visits to the retina specialist over six days. […]
This is totally yummy and inspiring. Happy Solstice as we surrender to the “Holy Darkness.” “Beloved Friends and Family, Welcome to winter. ❄️ Wherever you may dwell, I invite you to join me in letting down into the arms of the holy darkness.

Oh my God, are you exhausted? I am psychically numb, worn out and, equally, outraged, infuriated and heartbroken with the tone and tenor of our country.

Volunteer moms from each of the classes made cupcakes and placed a nut […]
I love Rob Brezny’s take on life. He is soulful, radical, playful, rowdy and, quite simply, a wordsmith who can light you up. He is inspiration from the word go. Rob Brezny makes me smile and glad to be human and oh-so hopeful. During these days of accelerated times, mind-boggling news cycles, sensory overload, caffeinated […]
