Hello – I am back and ready to live!
I haven’t posted since last fall and a lot has happened in this sixties journey. My last post was about Ayurveda and how I embraced it. Well… I admit to falling off that wagon, but now am renewing my efforts to commit. It is so easy to be lazy and not do the things you…

Stranger Walk – Reminiscent of Stranger Things
I walk for a few miles most mornings, usually on the same trail the same time of day. When I walk, the people I meet are friendly, they smile, wave, say “good morning” and at least look you in the eye. This morning I was greeted with what felt like a scene from “The Walking…
