On my trip west last Fall, one of my favorite parts was viewing the sunsets. Especially in southern New Mexico and Arizona where these photos were taken. It seemed like there was never a place to stop, so these photos were taken with my phone while my daughter (or her now husband) were driving. My…
I went gluten free about 2 1/2 years ago and saw a 75% reduction in the daily pain I was experiencing. Since then I’ve done my best to stick with this way of eating, only cheating occasionally. There is always an increase in pain and inflammation after cheating and that’s what reminds me to be…
I love to see a beautifully choreographed dance with highly trained and disciplined dancers. It’s magical, spectacular and awe inspiring. But I also love to see spontaneous dance, natural dance, people just enjoying the moment and expressing themselves to the beat of music. There is an enormous range of dance possibilities between these two extremes,…
Family is love, and when two families come together it is more love, and when many friends come to support this union it is a community of love. And when the wind comes along threatening to tear up this celebration of love, we just batten down the sails, weather the storm and start dancing; because…
When I think of harmony I think about the various elements that come together to make a beautiful dance. Music, movement, creativity, vision, intention, diverse people, costumes, lighting, stage, and audience all merge into a spectacular expression of art, emotion and beauty. In this particular dance there were 4 or 5 countries represented, and 3…
I wish I could say that my state of mind is peaceful, but at the moment it is not. I can not describe what is going on in my head right now except perhaps with these pictures. A little drizzly, unclear, muddy even. Unfocused? No, I am very focused. I have to be to get…
Inspiration is everywhere if we choose to see it, hear it or read it.

Why is health such a big issue? Because people are not healthy; we don’t feel good and it stops us from living the way we’d really like to. I’ve been doing some work recently for a company that makes a health product, so health improvements are on my mind. But health has always been a…
I had to really stretch myself on this one this week. How do I take a photo that shows optimism? Do I have a photo in my files that expresses optimism? Essentially at my core I am an optimistic person, but I have to admit that I get blue sometimes. There are plenty of issues…
Times change but traditions go on. People change, grow up, move away, pass on, and new people come along. Sometimes I think we create traditions for the sake of stability. Everything in life changes and we don’t have much control over most of it. But a tradition can go on in some form even after…
What is a new year? A long time ago someone decided to mark time in this way and we continue to imagine it to be so. But what if someone decided to mark time differently? Why does the new year not start on the first day of spring? That would make more sense to me.…
