Life is like this: combinations of synchronicities, threads in the tapestry, alignments too random to be random.
This just happened: I was on Facebook, adjusting some settings and saw a photo of my sister and I, taken in 2001--twenty years ago--in which we're standing next to two camels, the Giza pyramids behind us.
Seconds after seeing this…
I grew up with parents who, in the ‘70s, were fairly healthy and health-oriented. My parents did international folk dancing for their exercise and socializing; my mom gardened, composted and made every meal at home (when I say “every” meal, I mean that literally, save the one or two times per year we got treated…

As one who has been more at the edge of what's coming in trends, business shifts, cultural change and whatnot, I have come to understand that the WHEN you do something is often just as important -- or at least relevant -- as WHAT you did.

Because I've been on a mostly private, life-long mission to destroy my art and writing -- to erase it from…
GenXers (born 1961-1981) widely consider work flexibility a key component in how they manage their lives. Xers have a bottom-line accountability that includes minimizing input (hours worked, time committed to job related activities such as travel, dressing for the office, etc.) and maximizing output (results for the company, pay and compensation for them).

It was a moment in time. The meme world was on fire. I took advantage of it. And a friend, of their own initiation, did a nice job photoshopping me into the perfect background.
I have a most-beautiful view from where I live.
I look out over Lake Elkhorn in Columbia, Maryland. (Well, I see the lake more fully when trees have lost their summer green, as they have long since now.)
