Synchronicity bears the gift

I was talking on the phone to my Blog Tech Goddess, Elaine Lucia, who also happens to be a beautiful jazz vocalist. I’ve never met Elaine in person, but her speaking voice is so lyrical and bright, and her technical assistance so cheerful, I just had to let her know.
As my Give, I sent her an email telling her that, and that Yoshi’s in San Francisco, the fabulous, five star jazz club I went to for just the first… Continue

Visiting a lonely friend

Clarise used to live downstairs from me, and recently had to move to an assisted living apartment--beautiful place, but she was having a hard time facing the reality she had reached a point in life that living all alone with no help, and also she had not passed her recent driver's test...

Synchronicity: I began giving before I knew about the Giving Challenge!

Yesterday, I was looking in the closet for an old journal, and happened upon a sweet little lamp that I've had for decades, but haven't used since moving to Sonoma last year...I was about to go visit my friend Beth, and !ding! a "little" voice suggested to take the lamp to Beth, to give it to her--it is exactly the dark red color of her house...
So, give it I did. Last night.

Today, my friend and fellow yoga teacher Rona in Ventura sent me a link to this sight.
And I had already begun. Without… Continue
