I am an author and an attorney retired from practicing law.
I value living joyfully, intentionally and consciously, accepting the challenges and risks necessary for my growth.
I believe in synchronicity.
I try to live wisely, dance to release excess energy, face my fears and have fun.
I try to make it a practice to walk the talk – not always easy.

Framing a Life: Building the Space To Be Me
This remarkable memoir- one of the deepest I’ve ever read- is my kind of revelation. The book made me cry out, cover my eyes, mourn, and beam with pride and appreciate the trials that led to my own emotional and spiritual growth. Roberta Kuriloff’s story will find a place alongside Maya Angelou’s “I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings” and Amy Chua’s, “Tiger Mother.” Permeated with humility, bravery, and a bold feminist intersection, “Framing a Life,” is a triumph for many of us with both hurting and joyful hearts. It will last in our times and long, long into the future. I stand in solidarity with Ms. Kuriloff, her family and for everyone she touches with her wise and magnificent soul.

Quieting the Mind: Accepting Oneself
Part 1: I used to be an intense young woman. Sullen at losing my mother to cancer. Perplexed when my father left me in an orphanage. Bitter at police, politicians. An angry leftist. Almost enjoyed the anger, even though I didn’t relish being angry. It was such...
Blessings to Remember as We Age
I bless my mind for not exploding and crashing like a computer from all the data this world expects me to know and understand. I bless my skin as it ages, appreciating its creases and veins as they become the branches of a graceful Japanese Maple tree. I bless my ears...
Life is not mundane.
It is our interest in it that makes it so
