Shouldn’t Meditation Be Spelled MMMMMeditation?

Living in Los Angeles without meditating would be like living in Seattle without drinking coffee - hard to swallow. Today, thankfully, you don’t have to have long hair, sandals and a tie-dyed t-shirt. Today the look is Richard Gere without tie-dye…

Do Sayings Go Without Saying?

My grandmother loved familiar sayings and one of her favorites was "You can’t have your cake and eat it too". Hopefully, she didn’t share that with brides. If a bride puts a piece of wedding cake under her pillow, her dreams are meant to come true. Because I eloped, that wouldn’t have worked for me…

There is no Security with Shaking Ground, Mad Shoplifters and Thieving Families

Last night the ground moved. Again. It started a little after 8:00 and lasted about 15 seconds; a swaying motion rocking back and forth. It had been a while. Actually several years…

Parents Wanted - No Experience Required?

Burger flippers get training, so do crossing guards and street sweepers - but not parents. As soon as sperm fertilizes an egg, we become human sculptors. We’re given approximately seven pounds of protoplasm to mold and manage, help and heal, teach and train, comfort and care for…

But it’s not just women. Ten years ago women spent ten times more than men did on beauty products. Now we spend four times more…

Lessons in Life We Can Learn from Ugly Women with Big Tattoos

All of us can’t be beautiful. God knows.

Take me for instance. I’m nondescript. You see me in a restaurant and it’s as if I’m not there. On the one hand that’s good because no one is pointing at me and making faces. I can also spill food on my shirt and no one will pay any attention…

What Makes A Good Day Better?

Every day’s a gift - some are just wrapped better than others. A crisp, spring afternoon with a cloudless sky; rain that finally goes and snow that never comes - I feel like I have a fair-weather friend - me.

I feel like I have the Midas touch when my checkbook balances on my first try…

Welcome to California National Park!

California is headed for the Really Big One and it’s not an earthquake…
