The news cycle is so full of horrible news in America that even political pundits and historians can hardly keep up. The distractions from tRump are deliberate although not calculated in any rhyme or reason. It’s just about revenge in a mean spirited manner. So, what do we do about it? Protesting is a good...

I Cannot Breathe Now
I cannot breathe from post-election anxiety. I am worried for people of color more than ever before. I am worried for DACA recipients. I am worried for immigrants that will be unjustly held unless they can prove who they are. I am worried for my nieces and nephews who have browner skin than I do.... Continue Reading →
Mediterranean 2024

Feminism As a Senior
Yes, let’s start the conversation. Let’s add a few other generations, too. I saw a post on Threads yesterday about feminism and women aging. Reading the comments today strikes a similar reply: senior women become invisible. On the other hand, most women commented about using our voices. Yes, that is the solution in a nutshell!...

Peppy! HVAC & Energy Efficient Heat Pumps
Recently, I have had clients and friends alike tell me how impressed they were with recent installations of energy efficient heat pumps. Every single person who told me this also mentioned Peppy! Heating & Cooling was their contractor. Well, okay then! I called and asked if I could visit them to learn more. And learn... Continue Reading →
Intense Feelings Are Like a Dark Cloud
I have had a series of “I don’t care daysâ€. Too many things, all at once.
