Friday the 13th and Better Days
Well, Friday the 13th turned out to be a real Friday the 13th for a couple of friends of mine. One of them got fired that day, and the other found out that her husband was diagnosed with cancer. It’s so hard seeing friends suffer through those kinds of unexpected traumas. I’m there to listen,…

A Great Life
Hope is an action, something that you do with your friends. I have had a fantastic week. On Thursday I had to go to Concord for work. Afterwards Emmy and I hung out at her place then stopped by Eagle Peak Montessori, my kids elementary school. We caught up with some of her former teachers…

No Prisoner Be
It’s been a good week – a great combination of being outdoors, spending time with friends, getting work done, both paid and on my own projects. I also found two jobs I was interested in and applied for them! On Saturday, I went for a walk at Dillon Beach with a friend and her sweet…

Steep Ravine Cabin Heaven
I spent three amazing days at one of the Steep Ravine cabins with my friend Julie. It was fantastic! Here are some of the notes I made in my journal: Sitting in the cabin at 6:45 AM. It’s getting light out, sunrise is in about half an hour. The fairy lights are perfect for being…

New Year Adventures
On Tuesday I packed up my car to go camping at Sugarloaf Ridge State Park. Originally, my sister Christina was going to join me but she was sick so I decided to go on my own, knowing that the forecast was for nice weather until about midday Wednesday. I figured I’d stay for at least…

Christmas Time Is Here..
Twas the week before Christmas and all kinds of stuff has been happening! On Friday I hiked at Windy Hill Regional Preserve with a former ED colleague, Lolly, a new place to explore for both of us. It was wonderful to get outdoors in between rainstorms. The mushrooms growing on logs and posts were fascinating.…

Holiday Contemplation
It’s been a good couple of weeks. I met my friend Heather and her puppy Miloh for a walk in their neighborhood. It was so wonderful to be around that enthusiastic puppy energy! One afternoon I spent time catching up with Emmy and Winston and getting a little Christmas shopping done. Later I drove over…

December Already?!
Javi and I explored Blackies Pasture in Tiburon, where I haven’t been for years. We discovered there’s a new walking area near the shore (OK, probably not so new since it’s likely been at least 20 years since I’ve been there!) I only ever went there to go bike riding on the path, which is…
