“The greatest and the most real magic there is – the power of compassion to not only heal each of our own wounds of the heart but the hearts of those around us. It is the greatest gift, and the greatest magic..” Into the Magic Shop by James R. Doty, MD It’s been awhile, I can’t even call it a brief hiatus now. It’s been years since I logged on in here. So much has happened since then. No more long drives, hardly dining out now. Days are spent mostly at home, or with your own bubble. Reading through my prior posts it was another life. COVID 19 changed it…

Last Pages of Summer…
“I am pieces of all the places I have been, and the people I have loved. I’ve been stitched together by song, lyrics, book quotes, adventure, late night conversations, moonlight, and the smell of coffee.” Brooke Hampton Have you ever planned and promised yourself you would do something and put it off and put it off and ended up not doing it?

It was a bright sunny day as we got on to I84 on our way up to Boston. The…

“Age is irrelevant. Ask me how many sunsets I’ve seen, hearts I’ve loved, trips I’ve taken, or concerts I’ve been to. That’s how old I am.” – Joelle Did you ever imagine you would get to that day when you just refuse to say your age out loud? When not too long ago you were wishing you would be old enough to drive, drink or just simply be an adult. Now you wonder where all those years went by. Now birthdays are about special celebrations of life and thanksgiving. For this birthday I thought of doing something different. I thought of starting a blog to chronicle those special moments of…
