It was the waves that called me and they did not disappoint. How could they? Much to my surprise, it was the heaving of the deep that really spoke to me. The rolling weight pushing the water, high tide or low, was the powerful driver of the waves on top. Between the curling and crashing,Continue reading “The Deep”

It Took 29 Years to Get Here
On 2/29/92 at 2:29, I married my husband. I was 27 and he was 21, and we’d been dating for three years; I’ll let you do the math. We got married in Las Vegas because my family was in Washington State and his is all in California. We found a beautiful little chapel months aheadContinue reading “It Took 29 Years to Get Here”
Rock On!
In the spring of 1989, having failed to make a love connection with the date or the TV show, I decided to call the guy I’d met at the Hard Rock Cafe, the original one in Beverly Center. When I had breaks during the selection and filming process for Chuck Woolery’s dating show, Pam andContinue reading “Rock On!”
What’s Love Got to do with It?
Love Connection continued…. Not long after filming a short video for the Love Connection TV show, I received a call from them. They’d shown three clips to a guy and he’d chosen me for a date. He phoned me to set up our outing. I don’t remember his name, which tells you how this workedContinue reading “What’s Love Got to do with It?”
Looking for a Love Connection

Snow!
Florida pup’s first time in snow. Too good not to share! That’s all I got. Have a smile for the weekend. š
For Pete’s Sake
His smile and laugh are still with us, and I’ll never forget the last words I heard from my best friend’s fiance, “We love you, Sara” as I left to catch a plane back to California. 25 days later, he was gone. Lying in bed at a friend’s house in California, hanging out with aContinue reading “For Pete’s Sake”
Thank You
A little over a year ago, I started this blog because I wanted to document my journey through this bout with clinical depression. I’ve had two prior battles so, even as I felt overwhelmed by darkness, I knew blogging through it might help others gain a better understanding of what depression is like. It’s becomeContinue reading “Thank You”
Refining Fire
For the life of me, when Anthony Scaramucci and Michael Cohen warned that DJT would burn everything to the ground if he wasn’t reelected, I considered it hyperbolic. Irrespective of the numerous opportunities I’ve had to learn not to underestimate the depths of DJT’s pathological narcissism, for some completely unsupported reason I once again thought,Continue reading “Refining Fire”
Politics vs Governing
[I wrote the following paragraphs as I continue to grapple with exactly what has happened and worry about what’s next. I got as far as I did but then thought ‘blah, blah, blah.’ The writing is accurate but not viscerally connected to the current turmoil. That’s what I want to explore. Posting this now. NextContinue reading “Politics vs Governing”
