“Visual storytelling is a Twentieth Century phenomenon.”
The evolution of how we watch has changed so dramatically. Around 2009/2010, my husband ditched our cable company and bought an antenna! I remember saying, in panic mode – “what about HGTV?” His response “You’ll survive!” And I did. Actually, I ended up appreciating the lack of SO MUCH to select from. Like most, we subscribe to what…
“Time is the teacher and love is the reward.” Annabelle Graham

“The greatest wealth is health…Virgil, Our Mindfull Life
We talk a lot about our exterior selves. Maintaining a healthy appearance. A slim or somewhat slim body. Wearing our sunscreen. Having an awareness of our posture.

“As we play on violins, guitars, and pianos, so too the Universe plays on us…anonymous.
I recently received a message from my niece. She turned 40 this year. She ended a five-plus year relationship. And she moved into a new condo.

“This is how change happens one gesture, one person, one moment at a time.”
The California sun is shining, KCRW is living up to its’ reputation as the best station in town, and it’s turning into a perfect day. As I’m waiting to make a right turn into the parking lot at Target, I gaze to my left and become entranced with a woman across…
“I like to listen. I have learned a great deal from listening carefully. Most people never listen.” Ernest Hemingway
