After jumping in with both feet this past month in my new leadership role, I looked forward to staying home this Memorial Day weekend and taking some time to reflect. My husband and I have been talking about how glad we were to be born in the era we were. I’m not glossing over history; …

This morning we got our first real frost of the season. As Baxter and I took our spin around the headland it was 37 degrees. I was armed with a layer of fleece and gloves. Crisp mornings like this are great for clearing your mind and pushing chaos away. I suspect we will all need …
As we sit on pins and needles waiting for the election results, today’s walk included a beautiful rainbow and multiple shapes of hearts. I’m taking that as a good sign.

The Broadway musical Hamilton captured the hearts and minds of so many not normally enthusiastic about history.

We are just 11 days until Election Day. I don’t know about you, but last night’s debate lost my interest. We made it thru the first 90 minutes then turned it off. That’s twice as long as our watch of the first debate. I’ve already voted so I wasn’t watching to make up my mind. …
As Baxter and I walked this morning I was thinking about Ballot security and all the chaos the administration has purposely cast around it. I submitted our ballots yesterday by putting them into one of the 10 Official Ballot Drop Boxes placed around our county. After hearing from a friend that she had mailed hers …
By 10 am on this October 16, 2020 morning it was 70 degrees with no wind in Trinidad, California. Trinidad is located 1.5 hours south of the Oregon border on the Northern CA Coast. As Baxter and I walked the headland there was hot air brushing across my face and arms. I was warm in …
