In California the cost of living has increased by 3.3% so far in 2025 since January 1.

Bo Absolutely! I focus on the scents of the plants, the sounds of nature, and the visuals of the birds and butterflies. Grounding. Peaceful.

Make coffee (and drink it ☕️), make the bed, eat breakfast, do yoga, meditate, and take a walk in nature. Then I’m ready for whatever life’s throws at me.

I take the dog out for a short “bio break”, come back inside, start the coffee - then make the bed while the coffee is brewing. Maybe it’s because of all my years of business travel and having a made up bed every day, maybe it’s the only thing I can control these days - but it gives me a...

I am STUNNED! I followed your instructions and found a retirement savings account I didn’t know I had - $6,000!

A transistor radio. Mine was just like that but in blue.

Your glow-in-the-dark story reminded me of the time I bought bandaids for my young son. At some point I cut my own hand, and used one of his bandaids to treat the cut. I did not know they were glow-in-the-dark. Rolling over in bed that night, I caught a glimpse of that glowing bandaid, and I...

Saying goodbye To my dear Sweet Enzo, Thank you for 15 years of love and support. You always knew when I was sad, and you came up close to comfort me. You always knew when it was bath time, and you’d run and hide under the bed. You rarely barked - but you didn’t like it at all when I had...

Than you so much. I used to live quite close to Yosemite and could hike several times a week(!) - now that I’m further away, I visit when I can. The peace, beauty, clean air, history, animals and geology are soul cleansing. It is truly my happy place.

My Happy Place Yosemite

Road trips!

I’ve always had dogs in my life! When my sweet Enzo died (age 15, Feb 2025), I didn’t know if I would ever love another dog as much as I loved him. Then by a fluke, I met Miss Stella, an 11 year old Bichon-Poodle mix, who was dumped by her previous owners because she was too old. She’s...

I’d be delighted!

Mr. Milo On this day in 2010, this little guy rescued me. Found wandering the streets of Fresno, he was about 4 months old when we met. He was a cuddle-bug, loved to snuggle up with me under the covers, and fiercely protected me from all things real and imagined. He crossed the 🌈 Bridge...
