A Drop of Honeysuckle

A Drop of Honeysuckle

Listen on Spotify Adi and I went for our morning walk today through the park.  This has become somewhat of a ritual for us as we transition to a new phase of our lives.  Our daughter graduates from high school in less than 30 days and I am left eyeing the end of one book of my life while anticipating the turning of the page beginning what I can only conclude would be the final book of my life. I mentioned to Adi recently that I sense that I will have essentially three books of my life:  The first began […]

The Power of Yes

Listen on Spotify Many years ago, I was in a slump.  I reached a point in my life where my creativity had stalled and although my career was rolling along nicely, I hadn’t really taken my potential to the next level.  I knew I had to change the way I was thinking and my approach to life.  Since my background was in improvisation which is based on the idea of saying “yes” to life, I decided I would embark on a year-long journey of saying “yes” to as many things as I could and see what transpired.

Texas Hill Country

Listen on Spotify! “Is there any way you guys could leave for Valentine’s Day?”  I applauded the directness from our 21-year-old son.  He wanted to have our home to himself for his Valentine’s date and he thought that Adi and I might cramp his style. “I guess we could,” I responded, slightly shocked that we were being asked to vacate our own home for 24 hours.  When exactly did I lose control of our home, I thought to myself? “Yeah!  We can go somewhere,” Adi responded.  Adi wasn’t offended in the least and in fact, I wonder if she put

Barcelona: Secret Lover

Listen on Spotify Have you ever fallen so head over heels in love with someone that you thought, at the time, there is no way I can ever find another person that I could love romantically like this only to find out later in life that you indeed could and did for that matter find another that lit the flame of your heart? Or when you had your first child and then thought that there was no way you could ever love another human being with the breath and capacity that you had for your first born only to have
