Mary Poppins

MARY POPPINS RETURNS is now playing in theatres everywhere! I was so lucky to be able to see this incredible movie on Monday night and here are my thoughts. If you’ve forgotten how to think and dream like a child. If you’ve lost touch with your imagination and the beauty of the world around you. If […] Read more…

Sailboats

Santa Cruz Coast Walk

Sometimes all I need is a nice long walk in the cool air along the Pacific Ocean. Yesterday, we enjoyed a walk along the coast in Santa Cruz, California. The air was clean, the waves were crashing with a South swell, and having Pops with me means the company couldn’t have been better. Coast Views […] Read more…

Point Arena, California

Do you want to know what is so absolutely amazing about Point Arena, California? Well, it’s where Pops and I met almost twenty-five years ago! Northern California Coast This visit was quite a bit different. For one, we drove up together. For two, we came to celebrate the union of souls of two other people […] Read more…

Cayucos

Cayucos

Jimi and I recently spent a weekend in the small, central California coastal town of Cayucos. We haven’t been there in years and it was so nice to see this little gem of a town is still there very much unchanged. We didn’t visit under the best of circumstances, but I feel that we made […] Read more…

Vegan BBQ pizza

Vegan Cowboy Pizza

As I write this, I hope this Vegan Cowboy pizza actually tastes good (or at the very least the photos of it look good). I’m making this pizza now as I type this post. My inspiration to try this dish came last night while I was eating at a friend’s house. She lives in Cayucos, […] Read more…

The racing guys

GoKart Fun

GoKart racing is seriously one of the favorite “outside-the-office” events at my company – at least among those of the “testosterone” persuasion. Of course, everyone is invited, but it seems this event really appeals to the men I work with. Do you want to know who else it appeals to? Jimi – aka Pops – […] Read more…

Catching up on Summer

How true is it when they say as you get older the days, weeks and months move by faster? I can hardly believe it is almost August this year! Summer seems to be just flying by. I’m currently on a “social-media-fast” – not just as an experiment, but as an effort to understand what is […] Read more…

Myanmar Adventures

If you follow me on other social media channels, you know that at the end of 2017 we took a once-in-a-lifetime trip to visit and experience the country of Myanmar. It was truly an incredible trip and, a trip I would highly recommend! Honestly, the sights, the sounds, the people, and the peace – which […] Read more…

Aware Meditation

Aware Meditation App

The importance of meditation is a subject I’ve shared and written about before. Taking the time for meditation and gratitude have become a daily priority in our home. While there are many forms of meditation, I also believe there are benefits to knowing and using a variety of techniques. I love to learn new ways […] Read more…

Jeannie Mae of The Real

Jeannie Mai on The Real Remembered Mr Hunter

What an exciting day we had today!! Jeannie Mai, one of the co-hosts on The Real remembered and spoke of “Mr. Hunter”, my hubby, and one of her elementary school teachers. While I know how fabulous he is and how much he can (and has) inspired me and others, it is so amazing to hear […] Read more…

Happy New Year Wishes and My Word of the Year

Happy New Year! Yes, maybe I am a bit late…but it’s a sincere wish all the same. As the year begins, I see a lot of people choosing their “word” for the year. While this is nothing new, I usually give it a brief thought, then get busy with the eternal “what’s next” in my […] Read more…
