| Introduction | After spending most of my life in schools (first as serious student then dedicated teacher) doing my best to make a positive difference in the world, an unexpected "Golden Handshake" and significant changes in "regulations" allowed me to retire much earlier than expected. Since then, I've chosen to slow down and rediscover playful & creative exploration of what is and what might be, if only. Always an avid reader, I've filled many journals "processing" life's encounters to gain some perspective. These Blogs are experiments with sharing ... finally. I live a block and a half from the Pacific Ocean in Southern California with my five-year old Labrador Retriever (Molly) who reminds me to play often and take long walks. The feral cat a friend "adopted" on my behalf several years ago also shares my life. Both keep me company as I garden daily. I post regularly at Small Reflections and Sacred Ruminations ... occasionally at BlogRolls, Bling&Blurbs. I do post often at Happily Retired Gal on WordPress.
