I’m joining The Bucket List movement. I haven’t up until now. When the movie came out in 2008, I wasn’t that impressed. I know, I know- everyone loves Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson. But it just didn’t ring true to me. Lists like “Things I want to do by my 50th...
When it comes to aging gracefully, I’m clearly on the rebellious side. Like Napoleon holding fast for the last battle, I refuse to give up, not one single inch. I run half marathons, raft with my friends, and go to rock concerts. I’m finally getting to fulfill a...
When I tell people I live in Sonoma County, they typically comment on how lucky I am to live in the wine country of California. And, I agree. It is a beautiful and wonderful place to live! We have gorgeous weather and lovely views. Still, with work, kids, paying the...

Years ago, I heard one of the best sermons I’ve ever heard at a church. Now, I’m not a big church-goer. I’m not much for the formality of congregations. Still, even if you’re not a big religious person most of us have probably been to church at some point. On this...
