While in my 40’s, I taught myself how to dance from videos. Not just any kind of dancing…belly dancing. I fell in love with the beauty of the dance at a Renaissance Fair. The fact that my father’s father was from Greece, made me proud of my Greek heritage; and Greek music and dances were … More Belly Dancing, Was So Good For Me
The meaning of the above title came to life for me a few years ago while attending a wedding reception. A DJ played music as twenty or more, mostly young adults were dancing and having fun. I was hesitant to get out on the dance floor with the dancers who looked like they were half … More Dance Like Nobody’s Watching
My home is my place of rest and peace; an expression of my personality and a safe haven from the stresses of the world. I love to travel or just get out of the “house” every day or two. But I am always so thankful to come back home! It is an important part of … More Thankful for Home Sweet Home
Today I am sharing some about my parents. They were such an amazing team as parents. I seem to remember they used Dr. Spock, a famous pediatrician in the 40’s and 50’s, (not to be confused with Mr. Spock on Star Trek!) as a guide to good parenting.

If you read some of my posts about my personal life, you will find that I, at one time for a long time, felt inadequate, not as intelligent as my husband, forgetful and sometimes mixed up about details. I admired my intelligent husband. He had a Bachelor’s Degree and went on to a seminary where … More Are You Anxious, Shaky, Sweating, and Fatigued?
Are we there yet? Where is “there?” Do we know where our “there” is? When we were little we heard people tell our parents, “What a little man!” “What a pretty girl.” Nice strangers asked us, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” Perhaps on a subconscious level we start at an … More Where is “There?”
Sometimes I end up staying at home a lot and feel kind of useless and bored. Imagine my surprise when I was shown that that was not the case! One day, I was trying to decide where to eat for lunch but couldn’t make up my mind. So, I headed to a nearby part of … More Listen to Your Instinct
I am thankful for insects as so many are beneficial to our world and to us. But they can be wondrous in their own lives, too. Studying and photographing insects bring more interest, joy, understanding, and knowledge to my life. There is a whole different way of life that we don’t always see. From the … More The Joy of Photographing and Studying Insects
Music has been an integral part of my life as far back as I can remember. My mother played the piano often, once her four kids could stand or sit still long enough. I remember her playing very old songs from a bygone era; songs such as “Five Foot Two, Eyes of Blue,” which I … More Magnificent, Moving, Magical Music
