It doesn't matter if you are single, married, in a relationship, male, female, black, white, purple, orange, young or old. The only thing that matters is you want to travel and that you can pay for it. LOL! There will be Bus Tours, Cruises, Exotic Vacations, Adventure Travel, Weekend Getaways, Spa Vacations, Family Vacations, etc. I will post a trip, if you are interested RSVP, we will then choose a dat …

The idea behind this group is to offer a place for people interested in wine to experience wine together. Learning about wine on your own is tough and I find quick tastings at wine shops or huge crowded wine events equally unhelpful. Here we can have a small group, take our time, and get to know more about wines and each other. Whether you know nothing about wine or you're an expert, all that matters is that you're interested. My hope is to do small group tastings that I know I always want to d …

My Life has changed since I have started a daily meditation practice 14 years ago. More balance, more acceptance, deeper relaxation, just a feeling of “now I am looking in the right direction”. The new direction is that I am now taking responsibility for all of my experiences, thoughts and emotions. When something seems to go wrong, of course the first tendency still may be to blame someone or something not being the way it should be. But now with the meditation practice, the remembrance kicks i …
