falling leaves…life?

…storytelling…for all ages…hugmamma.

withdrawal…???

That’s my husband’s take on how I’ll respond to the day after, i.e. November 7.  Today is Election Day. Washington’s movers and shakers for the next 4 years are being decided upon today.… Read More

NYC…underwater

  It’s hard for me to fathom The Big Apple coming to a screeching halt. Can anyone recall the last time NYC was brought to its knees? The Great Depression? After Sandy takes… Read More

“sandy”…nature’s equalizer

we are but…pawns…hugmamma.

women…and the world…

Women have a way of softening the edges around acrimonious debate in which men often immerse themselves…and our world. Would a woman…a daughter, wife, and mother…make a better President than her male counterpart?… Read More

a little odd…

The hostile environment surrounding our elections seems to eat away at one’s core. In order to prevent such an occurrence, one has to step back, breathe deeply, and take a broader view of… Read More

weekly photo challenge: foreign

Visited Venice a few years ago. This is one of my favorite shots. It almost looks professional. But a photographer…I’m not.  ………hugmamma.  

comedic relief…maru

Just reciprocated a visit to blogger friend Beneath the Tin Foil Hat…at http://tinfoilhatman45.wordpress.com . I’d not heard from him in a while so I thought perhaps he’d taken a break. I was very glad to “hear” from… Read More

a book…a movie…life

…War and Peace.  Sadly I neither read the book, nor was I able to sit through the epic film starring Audrey Hepburn, her husband at the time…Mel Ferrer, and Henry Fonda. Despite this… Read More

there are bosses…and then there are those who care…

As I walked through the automatic doors at our local QFC supermarket a couple of days ago, the first thing that caught my gaze was a brightly colored balloon that said “Happy Boss’s… Read More

women rule…no matter what…men say

living in the past…no longer a choice…hugmamma.

i have my memories…

It’d been several years since I was home to visit family in Hawaii. With my mother in-law’s passing, my husband, daughter and I made the trip to Honolulu with a mixture of sadness… Read More

Vanishing Point

Reblogged from artful intuition: Our memory is like a shop in the window  of which is exposed now one,  now another photograph of the same person.  And as a rule the most recent… Read More

through others eyes…

  • “the human connection” by ashley montagu and floyd matson

    "Human communication, 'as the saying goes, is a clash of symbols' it covers a multitude of signs. But it is more than media and messages, information and persuasion; it also meets a deeper need and serves a higher purpose. Whether clear or garbled, tumultous or silent, deliberate or fatally inadvertent, communication is the ground of meeting and the foundation of community. It is, in short, the essential human connection."
