This morning my siblings and I were informed that our mother, who is 86 and lives alone in Southern Nicaragua, was in an ambulance heading to a hospital in Managua. As you may imagine, there were a lot of messaging and phone calls happening. As the day went on and I had some time to…

here fishy, fishy
Today I was able to spend the afternoon on a sail boat with some great friends. We saw some manta rays jumping out of the water, a sea turtle floating and a lot of fish. We snorkeled and paddle boarded, swimming with the fish. It was a great afternoon, topped off with a fabulous dinner….
No song to sing.
These past few weeks have been a blur;so much traveling that I don’t even know what day it is. Thank goodness for my partner, Grace, for reminding me that it is Tuesday. I may not always show it but I am so very grateful for her.

Tonight I am just grateful for a shower and a clean bed.
Homeward Bound
This weekend I will be officiating a week long soccer tournament in San Diego California. My partner, Grace, flew in this afternoon to join me in San Diego for the weekend, so that she and I can get some work done when I am not officiating. I am very grateful for the opportunity to officiate…

Today my day began at a client’s facility at Five-Thirty in the morning; I then drove to Forty miles south to attend school for five hours. I finished my day by sailing in a race that was held in Long Beach. It was a very good day and I am glad that it was the…
