Share“Gravity is a contributing factor in nearly 73 percent of all accidents involving falling objects.” Dave Barry It was bound to happen. Especially on one of the most pristinely beautiful hiking days one could ever ask for!  I slipped on some wet rocks and fell – hard – on my knee and had to hobble […]

Share“We must be the change we wish to see in the world.” ~ Mahatma Gandhi Are you incensed? Are you disheartened?  I am, and at a time like this I wish I were a better writer.  Words – my words – seem futile in conveying my profound sadness and frustration with the devastation wreaked on […]
