Looking for the Blog-Worthy Moment
I had lunch with a girlfriend this week (the Avenue Grill - yum!), and heard myself say during the conversation that I’m always on the look out for the blog-worthy moment. I like that. I feel like when I’m “looking” and practicing some awareness in my days, my life, my thoughts and/or my […]

Parked in God’s Goodness
“You’re lucky I don’t get out of this car and beat your %$^(*&$!” I was so angry he took the parking space I had been patiently waiting for. The old wrinkled man ignored me as went to join the people waiting for him sitting at Pete’s Coffee. I was boiling with disbelief and anger just […]

“Um, no I didn’t. I had to sing near Vail today, remember? It’s far and we left early.”
“Oh, that’s right. I forget you’re so busy. I’m so glad I didn’t text you about it.”
“Yeah. Me too.”
That’s how the conversation went between me and Monique last night. I simply […]
Finding Happy

I See You
Several years ago, I interviewed a woman named Mae who lost over 150 pounds through exercise and diet. I found her a very dedicated woman who, after many years, decided it was time to put herself and her health first. There were many things about the interview that stood out, one of which was why […]

A little history here: Marc’s mom and dad divorced while we were still in middle school. In addition, Marc’s father, Jerome, passed away several […]
