Hello out there, whoever you are.

If it’s true that “Serenity is being aware of both what is and what can be, and having the patience to get from the former to the latter” (Sister Joan Chittister), I should be incredibly serene from developing this website. It’s been a bumpy road and were it not for the amazing Lisa at 2Dragons shepherding me through, it probably would still not be finished. But finally, here we are, and I’m thrilled to have a place to share ideas with you.

When I left Whole Life Times after so many years editing and nurturing a monthly magazine, I thought I’d be blogging within minutes. I can see now, with incisive 20/20 hindsight, that I needed time to regroup and figure out what was up next.

It’s been an interesting year, somewhat reminiscent of the Disneyland Matterhorn: lots of ups and downs at a brisk pace, a few gasps, but mostly just a fun ride. I’ve done some freelance writing of course, a bit of marketing and branding, helped start up a nonprofit, even led some exercise classes. I’m working on a nonfiction book related to alternative healing, but it didn’t help much that a broken foot had me on crutches for months.

There’s a lot to talk about these days, so I’ll be checking in regularly, particularly with thoughts about health, the environment and the scariest roller coaster ride ahead—the 2008 election.

Thanks for visiting. I’m not selling anything at the moment, but hopefully I can turn you on to some interesting ideas.
