  • Risk everything for a dream that no one sees but you

    A line from the movie “Million Dollar Baby” made such an impression on me I wrote it down for further contemplation and possible use. It was then put away safely and forgotten. Forgotten, that is, until I stumbled upon it a few weeks ago.

  • Are we placing roadblocks to our happiness or intensifying it?

    In his inimitable style, Hubby Dear announced, “We’re going to watch public television tonight. You like music. You’re going to love this program.” 

    My typical reaction, rolling my eyes in dismay and feeling pressured to like something I had not chosen for myself, changed to delight when the interview with Gustavo Dudamel began.

    It began as a cyberspace affirmation. I received an e-mail indicating a desire to make contact and a request for me to review some writing.
