Thumbnail image for Tongue-In-Cheeky Travel Tip: The Key to Pleasing Parisians by Gina "SuuperG" Stark April 27, 2010 Travel and Adventures

ShareI shall try not to bite my tongue. And Pleasing Parisians? That there’s a triple entendre: 1) “pleasing” as a verb 2) “pleasing” as an adjective and 3) “please-ing” as in saying “please” I know I know, it’s a national pastime here in the states to gripe and moan about how very ruuuude the French […]

ShareMy mom rocks. Have I mentioned this yet? She works with raptors and bobcats and whatever other critters find themselves in trouble. Well, she volunteers her time…nearly 40 hours a week, tirelessly, for the last ten years.  Who else buys their mom a gauntlet for her birthday? A gauntlet, other than being the glove tossed […]

ShareThis wasn’t my idea!  I was coerced….I mean cajoled, encouraged and lovingly nudged by the dear and darling Marie Wikle, someone I have recently had the honor and pleasure of getting to know (and love!) on Twitter (moniker @spreadingJOY ) I actually had fun doing this once I got over the initial reluctance. See, I’m […]

ShareThe Twitter experience is a good one (actually, it’s awesome!)…and being unfollowed should never negate that. Here are some reasons why I think you shouldn’t  care when someone strikes that pesky little “unfollow” key. Firstly, this post was inspired by a comment I started to make on a blog where the writer outlines the futility […]

ShareOK, this is not to say I’m not happy for you if you have found your own paradise.  But I guess that’s just it, isn’t it? Paradise is subjective. It’s not even necessarily a locale. It is most definitely also a state of mind. But for today’s discussion 😉  I will confine (what a sad […]

ShareToday I tagged along while my dear friend, Luisa, and her mom, who is battling breast cancer, created a window display to bring attention to upcoming events for the Breast Cancer Resource Center.  A business called Massage Envy in Santa Barbara generously donates their prominent window real estate to various worthy organizations. I, for one, […]

Pushing My Prius

ShareI wrote this a while ago for my friends and family…before the, uh….issues that have arisen with my Prius and other Toyota models. Somehow, it adds a bit of irony and even drama to the part where someone is wondering how a Prius is on their tail in the rear view… I have a personal […]

ShareIn some cases, well…yes, as these pictures clearly show! This is our beloved dog, Paloma, romping around on Del Mar, California’s dog beach. This is the same day as her sixth radiation treatment for the tumor (grrrrr) that has aggressively pushed its way from her sinus cavity to her brain with alarming and heartbreaking speed.  […]

ShareI went skiing this weekend.  One might ask how were the conditions.  Well, it really depends on if you ask a pessimist or an optimist.  I would say there were many elements to the two full days of pursuing fun that highlighted some of the yin and yang in life…and I wanted to share my […]

ShareSo, you may have gathered by now, after Belly Dance Beginnings and then showing pictures from my crazy zombie belly dance performance at Café Aroma, that I’m deeply committed to and enamored of belly dancing.  If anyone had told me three years ago that I would not only start baring my midriff in class, but […]
