Roger Williams Park Temple of Music “The earth has music for those who listen.” ~George Santayana Dear Universe, After what has felt like the longest winter in the history of my life, it is so rejuvenating to see the weather finally changing.

Life’s a Ball
“In all of living, have much fun and laughter. Life is to be enjoyed, not just endured.” ~Gordon B. Hinckley Dear Universe, Sometimes you have to take the time to remind yourself that life’s a ball. For these last several weekends I’ve been experiencing just that. Specifically, life’s a baseball, bowling ball and a basketball. Let me explain. Spring break …
Full Bloom
“Deepest joy is like a flower….beautiful in essence.” ~Tony Samara Dear Universe, I have discovered—or rather re-discovered—something about myself. I like gardening.
