I grew up with the Beatles. I was 12 years old when I was first introduced to them. Probably better said they grew me up. The Beatles, like so many of us, turned my life upside down and started me on a path that was forged in love, possibility, truth and heartbreak. I had an inkling…
DetailsWe all need direction and support. The form of that support and guidance might take many forms. Sometimes it’s a gentle hand, sometimes it’s a mighty shove. We are not always comfortable with how the support comes and we usually have a preference with how it’s delivered, but sometimes the very thing we need is…
DetailsWe are back out-released from the stranglehold of Covid. More emotionally and structurally, as Covid and every other virus is still very real and persistent. Covid is more of an integrated part of our lives, like paying taxes. We adapt. We go on, maybe not with as much verve, but everyday we get up and…
Details“I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn’t lose any voters, OK?” -Donald Trump Trump said this in 2016 and he wasn’t wrong.

DetailsIt’s difficult to come up with exclamations anymore like “What a year!!!”, as shock and awe have become more of a quotidian experience and outrageous behavior is not even worthy of a conversational nod. However, it is the end of a very long year and some punctuation must be made. This is the time to…
DetailsWe could use a little bit of magic, not slight of hand or even the illusion of magic, but some real second-coming magic. We cannot keep raising our hopes and trying to see the bright side of things and interpret horrible situations as this too shall pass. We need someone, or a committee of someones,…
