Reconnecting in Seattle
We’re here for just a few days to do some further packing up at our old condo (anyone interested in buying a wonderful condo in Kirkland with a view of the Olympics?), and reconnected with the folks we met almost monthly for dinner when we lived here. Had a lovely dinner at May Thai in […]

$20 at the farmer’s market
I had only a twenty dollar bill and some change, and we are heading up to Seattle in a few days anyway, so I knew I didn’t need much and could restrain myself at the Santa Cruz Wednesday downtown Farmer’s Market. This is what I came home with, all organic, $20.75. Onions, romanesco broccoli (it […]

Finding rest when my body insists
I am fighting a cold, and wishing I had a few days of nothing to do. I am imagining laying in bed and reading fiction – it’s been way too long since I’ve done that. Today had too much going on, so I struggled through what needed to be done, snuffling and foggy-brained. Tomorrow has […]

Gratitude for the sharing
The Advanced Mind-Body Medicine Training is done, and I am once again feeling grateful for the many places I have in my life where people take the risk to share with each other in a deep way. As the participants of this training return home with new insights, I wish them well in bringing what […]

Tea in my hotel room
I don’t take photos of the tea I drink, but I do drink a lot of tea. I usually start the day with green tea, then have a yerba mate based tea later on, and sometimes something herbal. I bring plenty of tea bags when I travel, so I can have the kind I like. […]

Preparing for the Rain
I was out and about the SF Bay Area yesterday, stopping for a meeting in Palo Alto, then picking up new business cards from Greenprinter in Berkeley and dropping in to visit friends before heading back. Then out again for a few more errands, getting what Rene’ needed for our washing machine repair adventure. We’re […]

Checking in
I am truly grateful that I have so many places where I can check in – with friends and family and colleagues who I love and respect and who love and respect me, and who care about what is going on with me. Not just the stories of what’s happening, but the thoughts and feelings […]

Conference food
Some out of the norm days of eating for me. Lunch and dinner at Saybrook University’s residential conference, at the Westin near the San Francisco airport. Plenty of vegetables, which I appreciated, but I still was craving salad when I got home. I ate the salad I had prepared to eat with dinner the night […]
