Walking in the here and now is an extraordinary place to be. Walking is one of the best things we can do for ourselves.

I don’t know about you, but the thought of huge “islands” of trash floating in our oceans makes me feel a bit queasy. The problem seems insurmountable. The one thing I know I can do is recycle. Each week, I put anything and everything I think can be recycled into my bin and gleefully place it at the curb. Little did I know, I was doing it wrong! Read More
Haven’t we all said at one time: “If only I could have a little peace and quiet!” We live in a noisy, chaotic, vibrant world – with many distractions. Sometimes, we just need to “turn off the chatter, and focus on what matters.”
For me, the simpler the better. Read More
