Leaving The USA
“The Book of Questions”, by Gregory Stock, Ph.D — These are questions of a different sort — questions about you. They are about your values, your beliefs, and your life; love, money, sex, integrity, generosity, pride, and death are all here. Here is an enjoyable way to find out more about yourself and others, and to confront ethical dilemmas in a concrete rather than an abstract form. To respond to these questions, you will need to examine and interpret your past, project yourself into hypothetical situations, face difficult dilemmas and make painful choices. These questions can be an avenue for individual growth, a tool for deepening relationships, a quick way to get to know a stranger, or merely a pleasant amusement.

Silence In Prompts
Write Down the Bones Deck to Free the Writer Within — This is my wish for you: that you take these cards, grab the topic on one side and write, write, write. Then flip to the other side of the card and take note. I’ve always used the word topic instead of prompt. Prompt is the starting place, but topic indicates more the idea of plunging in and immersing.

Happy Holidays
It is huge and colorful and my photography does not do it justice! It is that time of year when many drive around to see the decorations. There are not as many decorations as there were when living in the city. That is okay, as every once in a while there is a standout and this was one of those!

Plain Silver Jewelry
A friend of my daughters gave me a bag of turquoise jewelry and there was a silver ring in that bag. I put it on my right hand and haven’t taken it off for more than overnight until it went with a neighbor so that she could design earrings for me to go along with it.
