I help you make your dreams become a reality.
The hat I wear depends upon the day: Book coach, editor, author, photographer, tall ship sailor, and retired therapist.
Loving life & nature, off-the-grid on a remote island near Drummond Island, MI.
This post is a month overdue; my bad.
Oops, I'm not allowed to use that word, nor is anyone else, ever again.
I've protested its use ever since someone left a kettle boiling on the stove, walked out of the house, completely forgot about it, and later tried apologizing with, "My bad."

It's a grey day today. But great one, as I'm packing my bags for a two-week vacation in Kosrae! Going to visit a friend who claims it's his shangralai. 80º all the time with lots of fresh seafood and fruit and low crime - sounds heavenly.

Welcome home, Pete!
The trees were alive with warblers this morning so I wasn’t surprised to see Pete at the dining room window!

I'm busy running three companies - this app gave me topics of concern to choose from, phone numbers of my Congresspersons to call at the click of a button (no dialing it myself), and a concise script to read from. Join me!
