ShareRoad trips are always an adventure.  But gather five friends who belly dance together and you get a whole new synergy.  Here we all were, up in Sebastopol, California for a belly dance convention, and we decided to take a side jaunt in our little trusty rental car to the coast.  Several of us were […]

Paloma’s Passing: Coping with Loss

Thumbnail image for Paloma’s Passing: Coping with Loss by Gina "SuuperG" Stark May 23, 2010 Random Ponderings

ShareI lost a grand source of joy in my life today.  Did I say coping?  That’s hardly the word. My friends…I fumble on my keyboard through a blur of tears. We lost our cherished beautiful, spunky, mischievous, playful, loving and demanding, darling companion dog…the one I had been writing about here.  Intellectually and spiritually I […]

Share“Climb the mountains and get their good tidings.”  John Muir I love hiking. I may have mentioned this before but it’s my blog so I’m allowed to repeat myself. 🙂  I have some very fine and savvy hiking friends who have even taught mountaineering courses with the Sierra Club and they have outlined strict guidelines […]

ShareBefore we go on, I must confess to a big mistake…HUGE! I didn’t bring my camera to Morocco. Sighhhh. My friend was going to bring her less expensive camera for us to use, but oops! she forgot to remove all her old photos from the card and didn’t have a charged battery. Ha! Isn’t that […]

ShareWhat constitutes a Twitter Giant?  Some would say it’s a measure of followers; others would claim it’s real life status or celebrity, while others, still, may argue it’s someone with a high influence rating. It could be someone with a 3G iPad or a cool “Follow Me” bumper sticker on their moped.  Either way, they […]

ShareNo, it’s not some new, esoteric form of carnivorous culinaria. 😉  Rather, I wanted – needed – to cuddle one of the darling cotton ball creatures ambling along on the hillsides since I stepped out of Auckland proper on my lucky visit there: When winds are soft, And the days are warm and clear, Just […]

ShareTimes have changed…they tend to do that.  It rankles me that in these days of cinched financial belts and lighter wallets, I’ve had to curtail my charitable contributions. I’m looking more towards donating time (and efforts, like climbing a mountain for Charity Water , but that’s a whole different blog post! ) So, I’ve decided […]
