Corona Virus 19 Chronicles: Chapter 2
March 19, 2020 Not everyone is crazy. Waiting-to-delivery Katie and I walked to the neighborhood grocery store to pick up some milk and a couple of dinners in preparation of hanging out at the apartment post-baby, and discovered reason and sanity still exists. The… Continue Reading “Corona Virus 19 Chronicles: Chapter 2”
The Corona Virus 19 Chronicles: Chapter 1
Friday The 13th 2020 I’m sitting at the LAX Farmer’s Market waiting to board a plane to NYC to be with Katie and Jason as they labor through the ancient labor of meeting their beautiful child of hope. Our little girl will be born… Continue Reading “The Corona Virus 19 Chronicles: Chapter 1”
It’s been way too long and welcome to Hans Solo Valentine’s Weekend in Napa
Solo Valentine’s Day Trip to Napa Day 1: I’m at LAX waiting for my flight to Napa for the Boissett Ambassador’s Retreat. By myself! It’s kindof a Big Deal. First, I’m taking a plane.

Does Oprah have to report to Jury Duty?

The green rolling hills, the space, the freedom–the wine! #CentralCoast, my home away from home. My… Continue Reading “A Girl’s Just Gotta Get Away Sometimes”
Be Fearless
All is well in the land of Normal. Day off work. Day away from the classroom. Day with a mere two hours of grading vs. 4.5. A day to have a third cup of coffee. A day with a schedule that looks like this:… Continue Reading “Be Fearless”
The Gap
And no, I don’t mean the store. It happened. I gave up on me and gave into giving to others. All the time. My students. My family. Like a tsunami, their voices, their needs, their attention, grabbed my minutes, my hours, my weeks–my months!… Continue Reading “The Gap”
So how’d it go this week?
I’d give myself a B-. I walked three days this week, said, “No” to something I really didn’t want to do, journaled three times, said “Yes” to going to a play at UCLA with a beloved former colleague, and “No” to my ridiculously ambitious… Continue Reading “So how’d it go this week?”
The challenge of change
Change is hard. That’s got to be the understatement of the century, right? I’d much rather tool along and not rock the boat, stay in my robe, look at online “news” outlets, become obsessed with the latest consuming topic, and drink a third cup… Continue Reading “The challenge of change”
