Reviving Water

I finally got out to the Delta to have lunch over the weekend. I don’t know about you, but I love living so near the water. I’m about a half hour (on good days) from the grandeur of the Pacific Ocean, a lake 20 minutes away in Oakland and the amazing Sacramento River. When I … Read more

Paying it Forward

Posted by Sharyn: Monday, July 13, 2009 It’s hard to believe the summer is half over and we’ve slightly more than five months left in the year. I know how busy everyone is and I hardly ever meet anyone who ever ends up a week with more time than things to do. I imagine there’s … Read more

Family Visits

I just came back from San Antonio and a great visit with the aunts! They are 82 and 78 and kept moving the entire week! It’s unbelievable how much energy they have. It was so much fun to be the center of attention. The first thing they did was take me to Ruby’s where they … Read more

When I had everyone come up to me afterwards and ask me questions, I felt this … Read more

Time Out!

Have you taken the time to check in with your family and friends lately? Not just a passing “How are you?” but a real heart felt conversation. I had a chance to meet with a friend over at Half Moon Bay at the Miramar Restaurant across the street from the beach. It was so much … Read more

Bucket List

Have you ever created your own “Bucket List”? You know, the list of all the things that you want to do? I was challenged to update my Bucket list at a workshop I attended in San Francisco. I went to get on the BART (train) to come back to the East Bay, but there had … Read more

Social Media

You’ve heard me mention how much I enjoy Facebook. I love the people I have met there. There is a huge world out there that you miss out on if you’re not engaged in social networking. I had Josie Ravenwing ask me to add her as a friend, and just her name was intriguing enough to … Read more

Inspiration

Inspiration comes from many resources. I have a friend who has two daughters, one 15 who is going through the terrible teens!  I can’t imagine what it would be like to endure that era in this day and age! She has an interest in modeling and fashion, so I asked if she would like to … Read more
