FMM 6 28 2024 Inflection Points
“Life is the flower for which love is the honey.” ~ Victor Hugo. If travel is educational, then I have been blessed with learning from early childhood, and hopefully I will never graduate! This year alone, the first in my retirement, I have visited four countries (outside of the US), and several states within the […]
FMM 8 25 2023 That which Impels
“The force that drives the water through the rocksDrives my red blood…” ~ Dylan Thomas.

FMM 4 29 2022 Fight for the Right
“Life without liberty is like a body without spirit.” ~ Khalil Gibran. I can clearly remember the first time I wore pants – as in long pants, not jeans. I was young (less than eight, as it was when I was still living in the UK). In my memory the pants were plaid, but I […]
FMM 1 26 18 Blind Faith
“Faith is taking the first step even when you don’t see the whole staircase.”~ Martin Luther King, Jr. They say you should never discuss politics or religion. After the past couple of years in American politics, you would have to be completely deaf, dumb and blind not to have been pulled into a conversation involving […]
