Do you remember when the peacock on NBC went from black and white to color in 1957? I still recall how exciting it was to see color on TV. I especially remember watching Walt Disney’s Wonderful World of Color. The announcer would say, “Live and in Living Color.” Then you’d hear the ding ding ding…and…
Relax and Breathe
How often do you give advice? How often do others give you advice? Advice comes in so many forms, some comes without warning, some comes unsolicited but generally advice is given out of love and concern for the most part. When things get complicated for me my best way of coping other than talking to…
Back To Life, Back To Reality (En Vogue)
After several months of travel blogging, it’s time to get back to my regular life, which includes my camera and my radio show. All these songs are swirling around in my head. Does that happen to you? Do you have a permanent “Jukebox Hero,”(Foreigner) playing in your head as well? I’m reminded of a calmer…
The Day After The Born To Talk Radio Show Debut
My radio show premiered yesterday on latalklive.com As I was hoping, it was pretty darn good, all things considered. Thanks to Christina Davis and Gwen Vuchsas for being my first guests. I’m thinking back to when this whole new life chapter began and realized, thanks to my friend and producer Deb, I have a new life…
My Wild Kingdom
I keep saying that I need to finish my traveling stories to Turkey and Greece and I will. There is much to share about those fascinating countries. But, I’m in OMG Radio mode, because my show Born To Talk Radio premires in 3 short days on latalklive.com. It’s a one hour show from 1-2 PT….
Taking a Departure from Europe
My last few blogs have been about travel, but today my focus is on my future! I’ll be back to travel soon. It’s a time of new beginnings both in nature and also in my personal life. It’s so nice to see how spring sprung while I was gone. Let’s start with the yard! Blossom…
Ducks And Birds Of A Feather All Flock Together
All good things must come to an end, says who? Geoffrey Chaucer in 1374. See I am not JUST a pretty photo album. Now if you Google that saying, you’ll find a variety of opinions regarding those words. I don’t really like things to end, end; if you know what I mean. What I am trying to…
Strangers On The Shore
It’s always special to take advantage of a walk along the water’s edge at the beach. This day did not disappoint and was especially appreciated given the dismal deep freeze my friends in the Midwest and East coast are stuck with. This is the Venice Pier, originally constructed in 1905, but a severe winter storm…
The Venice Canals…Venice, California
As we round out the last few days of February, those of us on the West Coast send our friends on the East Coast a sampling of why we enjoy these winter days. Now to be fair, to my friends on that side of the map; when it comes to fall, you have us beat…
My Life Through A Lens
I’m finding an additional voice through photography on this journey in the Blog World. So many people write blogs today, you name it, from Politics and Economics to Mommies and Medicine. I don’t seem to land in those categories, it appears based on my photos that I have landed somewhere else with my new friend,…
