What about the water? Varying to some degree only by age and gender, our human bodies are approximately 70 percent water. Water is the primary building block of human cells. And, water covers nearly 71 percent of the Earth’s surface. It’s vitally important to our existence, as individuals and as a species. And yet, or […]
Staying the course, of course! Or, rather, is it time to make a course correction? “Without paying close attention, it’s easy to get off-course.” Sailing back home from Catalina Island Years back, a friend invited me to join him and a few of his friends for a weekend of sailing. We left the shores of […]
A Strong Constitution When someone refers to someone else as having a “strong constitution,” they usually mean that the person is of strong mind and body.

As life is a daring adventure or nothing at all (thank you, Helen Keller), have you felt into where you are traveling next in your life’s journey? Coming around the bend into a new season after last week’s solstice, as well as into a new calendar year, it’s a good time to reflect on where […]
