Returning food to the sacred
I remember in college, many many years ago, sitting in the student Commons, doing home work and watching an episode of The Oprah Show on one of the many television sets that surrounded the area. In this particular show, Oprah made an announcement that she had decided to always have fresh flowers in her home. […]
I had a hard day the other day. One of those days when I’m hurt, feeling a little less than usual, unseen and like there was a scarcity to joy in general. Oh yea… it was ugly. I couldn’t really shake it. My state was one of those things that you just have to let […]
I would gratefully say that about 98% of the things I have to do throughout my week I love doing. That includes all of it – work, home, leisure, Jon, the dog… whatever. Still, during 6 days of the week I operate on some attempted schedule, a ‘To Do” list, deadlines and commitment to others. […]
Once a week I go to a local cafe to eat the very same breakfast. I come armed with my trusty and well used Moleskine, 2 of my favorite pens, and my iPhone. It’s a fairly low tech affair, and I’ve done this so much and for so long that I walk in and if […]

Jon’s brother and sister-in-law are here on the island for a couple of weeks. They are staying in Lahaina, but wanted to come on by and see our place. With so much going on, we just decided to throw together an impromptu brunch and invite a bunch of our friends to see who could actually […]
I’ve been back on the mainland, all over California, for the last month. My reasons for coming here were about the launch of this book that I did the photography for, and am co creating the online magazine for. (so much more on this later!) As you know though, I’m from California, and have […]
