Emotions

Emotions are not good or bad, simply energy in motion. Sometimes poetry, sometimes despair. They can bind us to our past or be our liberation.

Emotions color our world with texture and meaning. Truly the most ancient of all languages.

Emotions were the original iMessage or text. An exchange of messages communicating our wants, needs and desires.

Emotions can renew us or deplete us. So give love, show gratitude, be a source of encouragement!

Planning My Next Big Trip!

It’s funny how international adventures are planned. I start with something that has inspired my heart, research the logistics and narrow it down to what is practical and doable.

My Grandfather was born in Poland, and last year doing the DNA tests I found that my DNA was 38% Polish and Eastern European. When I was stationed in the U.K, due to the Iron Curtain, we were not allowed to travel to the U.S.S.R or it’s satellite states and during my other visits I preferred the mediterranean cities. So now, all of sudden I want to visit Central Europe!

I began with planning a 2020 trip to Krakow Poland, the area where my grandfather was born. However, at the request of two of my cousins who also want to go to Krakow, I have rescheduled for June of 2021. We also plan to visit Auschwitz-Birkenau and Schindler’s Factory but in general, we are going to soak up the culture, cuisine and drinks of Poland.

After seven nights in Krakow, I am going to spend a few days in one of these cities, Budapest, Vienna, Berlin or Munich, I have quite a while to decide.

After that, I am headed to Italy, I fancy a couple of weeks around the Amalfi Coast (Positano). I can already smell the lemon trees, can you at Limoncello?

This will be my first solo international trip since I was in my 20s and while I believe that what most of us long for is a soulmate to share adventures with, that the failure to find such a kindred heart and soul, is no reason to stay home!

Because I am home, wherever I am.

Scoma’s in San Francisco

Great Seafood and I love the Garlic Mashed Potato’s and Clam Chowder. I’ve been going to Scoma’s since the 80’s and usually follow up dinner with a Chocolate-Strawberry Shake from Ghirardelli’s just up the hill. Please skip all of the touristy restaurants at Pier 39 and enhance your day with lunch or dinner at Scoma’s.

Tip: You can usually be seated without reservations between lunch and dinner.
