Trips During COVID & Government Shutdown 2025
I’ve been traveling so much lately, I haven’t had time to complete my video of our trip to Washington DC last October. I intended to tell the story of how we ended up planning that trip last year, and then attach part of the video to my January blog post. However, I finally realized I… Continue reading

Invitation To Tea
I’m rereading one of my favorite novels with a new interest after having spent an evening with Krishanu from India (that’s another story I wrote about in my blog post entitled “A New Friend.”) “Invitation to Tea” was written by Monica Lang and published first by The World Publishing Company in 1952, and then as… Continue reading
About Me
Thinking about the line from Karen Carpenter’s song, “…don’t worry that it’s not good enough for anyone else to hear…” I have been inspired to “just sing” (and write, and share).
I produced a weekly blog for a little over a year, but now I’m committed to one article a month. I hope to give a little inspiration to those passing by, either through my blog articles or within the other pages I’ve created here.
