Catch A Wave (In Spite of the Wobble)
The first thing I see out my window each morning are the surfers. We live across the street from South Bird Rock, the best “break” in San Diego and only the most expert surfers dare to ride here. Not only do you have to be an advanced surfer, you also have to hike down a […]
John Lennon Got It All Wrong
Don’t get me wrong, I love John Lennon and I love the Beatles, but their song “All You Need is Love,” a lovely sentiment to be sure, is also far from the truth. The wild and wonderful state of “being in love” is natures greatest trick to get us to keep the species going, but […]
What Does It Take Too Have BIG LOVE?
Yesterday was our 22nd wedding anniversary. As I thought about the wonder of it all, I asked my beloved soulmate, Brian, what his thoughts are on how we have created 22 years of togetherness….what he thought our “secret of success” is.

True, fascinating story of the origin of Love Letter From God
Before I tell you an extraordinary story, read this: Love Letter from God Everyone longs to give themselves completely to someone — to have a deep soul relationship with another, to be loved thoroughly and exclusively.
