Standing here at the ocean’s edge in Cabo, looking out at a vast and endless sea, I turn around and see arid hills parched by the never ending sun. They seem void of color. This desert seascape seems at first glance to be so empty. But if you look closely, there is so much more beneath the surface.

I will soon be languishing in my garden replete with bougainvillea, hibiscus and other tropical flora. I love flowers. Maybe that is why I stopped … Read More
Mother’s Day is nigh. This year is especially poignant for me; not because I miss my own mom, as she is gone now 25 years, but rather because I have been catapulted back to that time, when my own girls were young and I was pregnant with my son.
