This week we are in our Retreat Week mode on the school campus. It begins with faculty and staff meeting on Monday and then the different student classes have their retreats throughout the week. This year the facilitator for the faculty and staff retreat was a gentleman named Michael, from the University of San Diego….

There is only one more day left in the year 2025. I can’t say that it was a bad year, it was a good year; but then it is what you make of it. It was a busy year that I feel went by quickly. Busy is good and there are opportunities that come and…

This week my beautiful partner and I are vacationing. I did work a half day, but now, the rest of the week is being spent doing a whole lot of relaxing. It is a much needed rest and a week that I have been looking forward to. Resting and relaxing in a beautiful desert location,…

If someone had told me, when I was younger, that I could make a living working on yachts and ships I may have changed my career plans. I would have been moving boats all over the world for people. I may even have been selling them. There is still time to do this in my…

This past week was spent in Arizona, where the golf course is still flooded. Desert rains brings out the desert flowers and it is just beautiful. I am grateful that I was able to relax, get some work done and spend my Thanksgiving with friends and a person who is very special to me. She…

Today my daughter, her boyfriend and her dog came down to visit. They are spending the weekend here. I am so grateful for them and their visit. Any time that I am able to spend with any of my children is a true blessing. My Little Little, is my angel and princess. Even though I…

It has been a long two weeks, long days with no day off. I am not complaining, just getting physically and mentally tired. I am looking forward to a break; it probably won’t happen until Thanksgiving week though. Today, by 14:00 in the afternoon I was “DONE”. I still had work to do but it…

This past weekend was spent at home. Home in Arizona; and it was great! There was not much time spent there, because I had a twenty-four hour layover in Las Vegas and then a five hour delay leaving Las Vegas because of the weather in Phoenix. I spent one full day in Arizona, at home,…

I am grateful to be a part of communities. The community at the Marina, the community at the condo, the community of family and friends and the community at work. I am so very grateful that as a community we all have each other’s back; we look out for each other and do our best…

This post goes out to all of my San Francisco Giant fans. I am grateful that their season is over and I am praying that the San Diego Padres advance to the next round; the Dodger’s and Padre’s are a much better rivalry right now. That is what I am hoping to watch.
