Bio: Come on in and make yourself comfy. Kick off your shoes. Coffee? Tea? Sit awhile and read… Express your thoughts. Any questions? Feel free to ask for I am a woman of a certain age and I do not fear my secrets. I welcome them for they have led me here, where I pour them out in written word. I'm also a Recovering Catholic, but I very much believe in a Higher Power. Those shoes you see in my banner, I own those shoes... Stuart Weitzman Fever in patent leather red! We used to get out alot more, me and my shoes. So I decided to add them to my blog because, hey, I'm not dead yet!!

Rate: 7 Flag

Finally, I understand why so many people moved to California in the 60's and 70's. (also, wondering how I missed out!)

I'm back home now, relaxed and rejuvenated. (conspiring a multitude of ways of spending the rest of my days in warmth and sunshine)

Feeling grateful for the opportunity of watching the Universe manifest her psychedelic light show every night. (right outside my motel window in Hermosa Beach!)

A much needed respite that ground my daily life to a halt, bringing reflection and a new sense of self..... time to move on. (I'm definitely ready for the next phase! Bring it!)

A journey well timed for a woman moving toward her sunset years. May all my days be as colorful as a copper-filled, California sunset! (notice I said "moving toward" not "in!")

There you are!
Missed you lately!

AWESOME photos--the beach has always been a great love of mine and of course, sunsets/sunrises too. Put 'em together--WOW!
