Welcome to my updated website. I feel like my 8-year-old self on the day my dad presented me with a brand new — used — inner tube with my name on it. It was ready to take me places, and I was ready to go.

I hope you’ll browse around a bit and enjoy my riffs on life from the point of view of a woman with a career, a husband, grown-up kids, a conscience — and an incurable case of the human condition.

Lots of rain and lots of purple in our garden this year. Purple nemesia, purple iris, purple pansies. What gives? Is this a Purple Rain message from the spirit world? Read more.
