StreetLights On A Saturday Night
The Wisdom Of Downton Abbey Well, here we are, 2020. Look how far we’ve come in the last 100 years! Actually… maybe you are better off not looking. A few months ago, just before I took off for my neck surgery, I gave Andrew and Jennifer a ride home from the airport. They live in…

StreetLights On A Saturday Night
Lost in the woods I took a walk today. The sun was out. Blue sky, pillowy clouds and blossoms on the trees. I love trees. I always find them calming and restorative, like natural anti-anxiety medicine. It was during this walk I found the right perspective again. I have been angry this week. I have…

Crossroads part 2 of 3
As I reviewed the stories from 2019, the one that stood out the most for me, and certainly the most amazing person I met this year while driving Uber/Lyft, is Holly from Green Mountain. Holly inspired with her story and reminded me how important it is to be present, not regret, be appreciative of life.…

Trees
“Getting lost in the woods” is a phrase often associated with dark or troubled times in life. If you are lost in the woods, take a moment. Take a deep long breath. Then look around you. The trees that surround you are not your enemy or your obstacle. Look close and you will see, God…
