Inspiration: Paris

Cafe de Flore: Literary Touchstone I can’t say much for the lemon cake and the coffee seems always a tad bitter.But the feeling of sitting with greatness: priceless

Spotlight

I’m not a front and center person. I enjoy the view from the back of the room. My struggle lately is one of direction.So what else is new?Which way should I go? Am I going the right way? Should I be here? Should I go there?Maybe its because I’m a Cancer. Like a crab, I…

Head Trip

Right now all I want is to get out of my own head. I want the voices to be silent…or at the very least, tone it down, a bit.I moved to Los Angeles 13 years ago today. I have no idea where the years have gone. Looking back, it was a move made in desperation that has…

Going My Way…Finally

My modus operandi:Keep going in the wrong direction until I end up where I am supposed to be.So simple.So time consumingSo exhausting.

Which Way Bliss?

There are so many twists and turns in life, it can be difficult to keep your bearings. Sometimes we know exactly where we’re going. Other times we don’t have a clue. That said, one thing seems to be true. Whichever direction we choose, we must go with confidence and eyes open. Enjoy the journey.
