Sound familiar. August 2016. “Over the age of 60. Underlying health condition (heart problems.) Pneumonia in the lungs. ICU. Ventilator. Unexpectedly.” That is exactly what happened to Steve 4 years ago. Was it a virus before its time? I will never know. The doctors cured the pneumonia. He died of heart failure. It was fast.

EASTER 2020 – “CLEAN SLATES”
THIS EASTER WEEKEND, I AM working with “a clean slate”. What do I mean? Welllll, I am still “in lockdown”. I cannot go out of the house without an “Attestation” (paper document) or I get fined (if I get stopped by the police). France is not doing well with its number of cases andContinue reading “EASTER 2020 – “CLEAN SLATES””
OUTSIDE MY DOOR – ONE MILE; 40 MINUTES!
BREAKING NEWS!!! I got stopped by the police again this morning! France has tightened restrictions regarding jogging and walking for exercise because people (young and old) were just going about their business, as usual, as far as getting together to exercise, laugh, and enjoy the spring weather in Paris. Damn! I have waited to doContinue reading “OUTSIDE MY DOOR – ONE MILE; 40 MINUTES!”
WE ALL HAVE A STORY
Lately, I have seen a lot of posts and gotten a lot of emails wanting me to share my story and it might be used somewhere. Which story do you want me to share? I have several stories. My early years. Candler Street Grammar School. My teens. My family of origin. My ancestors. My auntsContinue reading “WE ALL HAVE A STORY”
ALIVE IN MY HEART! LILLIE!
This week, I have had a lot of friends reach out to me. Great. Because it is rather bleak in this small apartment in Paris. I have my favorite songs playing on Spotify; Missy is close by; and a lot of projects in the works, so I stay busy. AND, I have WiFi (FINALLY) andContinue reading “ALIVE IN MY HEART! LILLIE!”

RANDOM THOUGHTS DURING “LOCKDOWN – PARIS”
For those who don’t know, I am in Paris, France, under lockdown. What does that mean? For me, it means that I need to stay home and “self-quarantine” as much as possible. Why? Because I don’t want to die just yet. I still have some things that I really want to do in this areaContinue reading “RANDOM THOUGHTS DURING “LOCKDOWN – PARIS””
ONE FROM THE HEART, FROM ME TO YOU……
Last night, while I was reading articles online about the virus, I heard the news in France. “Starting at midnight Saturday, (last night), all non-essential businesses — including cafes, restaurants and movie theatres — will be closed until further notice, French Prime Minister Édouard Philippe said. Banks, gas stations, supermarkets and pharmacies will remain open”Continue reading “ONE FROM THE HEART, FROM ME TO YOU……”
JUST SAYIN…….
This has been a wonderful week! I have gotten an excellent Vet who has helped Missy, and I have gotten a dentist in the neighborhood who cleaned my teeth. This is his waiting room. He may or may not be a keeper. I like his taste in art. And, finally, I got a housekeeper, whoContinue reading “JUST SAYIN…….”
A WORD OF EXPLANATION…..
Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes. – Carl Jung After my last post, I had several people who care about me ask if I were all right? I think they were taking my post literally. No, it is/was metaphorical. Continue reading “A WORD OF EXPLANATION…..”
