50 days ago I started the challenge of 100 Happy Days. I discovered this delightful new challenge through a website called 100HappyDays.com. Although the premise is simple and the activity is minimal, 71% of the people that started the challenge said they were too busy to finish. Too busy to be happy? Too busy to focus on something that made …
Technology is like aging, you can try to out run it, but sooner or later you have to embrace it. Are we slaves to technology? Yes, I think many of us are and some of us won’t admit it either. I have a handful of friends who do not have Facebook accounts and don’t engage …
Our newest adventure: The gift of a trip to Hawaii – including a spectacular private concert performed by the infamous Elton John! Recently I wrote a post about celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary and how so many things have contributed to this successful marriage/partnership. As a couple we have so much to be proud of, but we consistently work hard to …
You’ve reached midlife, the kids are doing great… now what? I believe that might be the million-dollar question. What do you want to do when you grow up? Now that our kids are grown and we have put all of our energy into making them the very best adults they can be, it is our …

Great friends, heavenly food, delicious wine and a breathtaking landscape are the perfect ingredients for an amazing experience in Napa Valley to celebrate the harvest at Quintessa Vineyard. We discovered this extraordinary winery in June of this year when we were given a private tour. Quintessa provides guests with a comprehensive look at the vineyard, winemaking facility and underground …
Another food tour adventure? Why yes! Thank you! Just recently I took a fantastic tour by Chris Milano’s Foodie Adventures in San Francisco’s Mission District. The Mission, Latin Food Tour was so delicious and I loved it so much that on my next trip there I just had to take the North Beach and Chinatown Tour! It is no surprise …
Change is inevitable, but we must try to embrace these persistent ups and downs and learn to thrive on this roller coaster of transition. What does change look like exactly? It looks different on everyone. It fits differently too. Some people handle it with ease and for others, it is a huge challenge. It is suggested that we “Go with …
When the kids move away some Empty Nesters get dogs. When the kids are off at school and the nest is Empty, life slows way down, schedules change and the silence can be deafening.
