History is a potent reminder. Our community theater audience heard my dad’s letters home from World War II, in which he wrote about his day observing the Nuremburg trials in 1946. Viva community theaters! #communitytheatre #RememberingDad #supportthearts

A sense of dread overwhelms me on the eve of America’s first coronation. I don’t know what lies ahead, but I’m afraid. In an effort to be grateful for small things, I’ll share what happened this morning. #thankful #thelittlethings #gratitude #hopingforthebest

Some houses can and do survive a wildfire. A TV reporter in Altadena interviewed a man whose house is a perfect example of how implementing Firewise® activities can protect homes. #wildfire #Firewise #firesafety #loss

My new year’s resolution: focus on the micro. Little actions can make a difference. I’m up for that. Check my blog for my 2024 reads and changes in direction for 2025. #bookworm #books2024 #booklover #booklist

I confess to being depressed lately, even fearful of the way our world appears to be headed. Writing this short piece made me think of things more broadly, provided a tad of hope, and cheered me up considerably. #hopeforthefuture #olderwomenrock #wisdom
