I’m still catching my breath after a vigorous walk with a woman who became my friend after seeking me out because, she explained, “I like your energy… Read more “The Power of Post Menopausal Women”

They Eat Horses, Don’t They?
I’m a part-time vegetarian. That means I’m an omnivore but heavy on the herbivore side. In other words, my heart prefers non-meat foods, but my carnivorous soul requires… Read more “They Eat Horses, Don’t They?”
429 Anti-Inflammatory Flames of Good
This floodgate of what I now call “sparks of light from the prism” amaze me. It is everywhere. I find good deeds in my newspaper’s letters to the editor, on Facebook, in books I’m given, and from random discoveries. A heightened awareness of good seems to foster more good. It also spins my Irish temper into an Irish toast. What would once have given me cause to jump all over some nincompoop now coerce me into smiles and humor.
I Kept The Positive Door Opened And What A Result!

The Gift: A Handful of Purple Berries

From Tra-la to Troll
I peacefully slept the entire night, even though none of my favorite football teams played in Sunday’s Super Bowl, and then the team I picked from nothing… Read more “From Tra-la to Troll”
In A Word
I’m one of those New Year’s Eve revelers that admit my resolutions, like diets, fade with each new month of the New Year.
“Philanthropos Tropos” Rekindles Holiday Lights
When our economy turned, my wealth transformed from monetary to experience. Experience shaved expenses to just pay the bills. Some of those sheared expenses included shopping for toys and clothes for the children who don’t even have a roof where Santa’s sleigh can land;
