And that concludes the FIRST week of 2021

At the end of 2020, there were so many people ready to move on from 2020 to 2021, and I didn't want to rain on their parade, but I couldn't understand how people could believe that the change in the calendar year would mean the problems of 2020 would just go away. As far as ... read more >

Lessons from Hiking Mission Peak

I am definitely not an outdoorsy type of person. I blame it on growing up in San Francisco, California.

My Winter Faves

Disclaimer: I live in San Francisco so I don't really think we can claim to have a real winter.   The bottom photo is more of an accurate description of San Francisco Winters.

Let me just say that I love the television show, "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel" The sets! The Costumes! The jokes! The characters! The Music!! The actors!! All Top Notch. Even more, I love the premise of the show:  What happens when the perfect life you've created from yourself comes crashing down.  What then? What if ... read more >

Managing Expectations

2020 has been a little different is the understatement of the year. The Holiday season this year will be different than any other in recent memory. Many people will not be getting together with their family and friends but instead celebrating virtually or having a much smaller gathering. As people struggle with how to navigate ... read more >

Look for Hope and Not Hype

My friend Marques shared a message where he talked about having genuine hope over hype. As he said, Hype abandons you in tough times but hope and faith are what will get you to the other side.
