“I make the BEST smoothies!” Traveling around this nation, I run into a lot of culinary Kings and Queens, many of whom claim to make the best something or other in the world. Being in this category myself, I happily agreed to sample their creations. Why not? Given my no-alcohol status, I cannot enjoy local …
My therapist, Baila, is a wonderful part of our support team. Like all of the other healers we have consulted with over the years, she delivers consistently so that we can, too. Baila has helped us improve communication in our marriage, navigate issues with parents, children, and siblings, and solve business problems, too. Now, I’ve …
When I was a kid, my mom introduced me to the concept of a “personal day.” Every now and then, she told me, we can take a day and forget about school, work or personal responsibilities and just do nothing whatsoever. I took one, yesterday. While Beth was busy rearranging our kitchen, cooking up a …
Yesterday, we woke up in New Haven, Connecticut – about 2.5 hours from our home in Sullivan. We performed twice for a client who has been loyal to us for over twenty years. I don’t think about stuff like this enough, but it’s really a cause for celebration to know that our work and what …
On Sunday, we took a ride to Olivebridge, NY to drop off our RV for some repairs. On the way home, we considered stopping in Woodstock or New Paltz for a little exploration. We had a potluck dinner scheduled for later that evening (see yesterday’s post), so we picked the city on our way home …
It’s challenging for some of us to reach across the aisle…and I’m not referring to politics! Truth is, we are a species that likes to hang around people who resemble us. We like to think we appreciate and encourage diversity, but the fact is that most of us don’t wander too far from our childhood …
Last night, we had dinner with friends, Regina and Chris. We met at The Pickled Owl, a bar-restaurant in Hurleyville, NY. Hurleyville is a quaint place typical of the small Catskill towns that have a few nice restaurants and other businesses like the Hurleyville General Store and Morgan Outdoors. Both are two women-owned businesses driving …
I love the moment when a heat spell breaks and we return to seasonal temperatures. At 2:39 a.m. I woke up, padded downstairs to turn off the AC and open the windows. Ahhh. Joy! Returning to Joy, to lightness after coming through a dark or heavy period, is such a blessing. One can almost appreciate …
It’s Tuesday and we’re back in Sullivan County. Beth suggested a morning walk, so we drove to a lovely path by a brook in nearby Jeffersonville, NY. If there’s a sound more relaxing than water running over stones, I have yet to hear it! As our daughter, Steph, said to me a couple of days …
Is it just me or does world seems kind’ve off?I’m not speaking scientifically about the planet’s axis or position in the solar system, though that may be a contributing factor, but more of the way we humans and the planet we inhabit have arrived at a crisis point. Those of you who have read this …
