Treasure in a Bottle
While visiting my bestie in the Cape Cod area of Massachusetts, I was taking an early-morning walk along the oceanside beach with my two dogs. I had just finished a ghost-writing project and was taking a much needed break before re-reading it and making any necessary revisions. There was no one else on the beach but me, my dogs and the birds; the seals were nowhere to be seen as the day hadn't warmed up yet. I was pondering what my bestie had told me about the history of the area. It was said, and many artifacts had been found on the ocean side of the Cape, that many a Pirate Ship and others as well had sunk in the area. In the early spring, many ship parts washed up onto the beaches in some areas and treasure sometimes can be found, but at what cost? The waters are very dangerous and many attempts at diving for the treasure without the proper equipment had brought death to those that have tried. This is all real and true and many still try to get to these ships each year. These were Pirate waters at one time and many still speak of possible untold treasures buried in the area.

Breathtaking. But not in the way you'd hope.
By the time I get to the viewpoint, my lungs are aching. Not because this is a particularly challenging hike (in fact, by BC's standards it's a pretty easy one), but because of the lingering byproduct of wildfires from the South and to the East, steadily making its way over to us.

Homeless In California
Homeless in California -by Sharon Nelson I remember when I walked in from a nice warm sunny day on Venice Beach California. I saw my two roommates sitting at the kitchen table with somber looks on their faces. I went in making a joke saying - cheer up it's not that bad. In which they both looked over at me in unison and one of them replied -it is, we have to move in thirty days. The landlord's selling the house. I knew there was no way of contesting this. For we all knew he could do it. We just never expected him "to do it", and so soon!

Nature's Haven in the City
There are few, if any, places on earth where you can see a lion set against the backdrop of a capital city. But Kenya has such a place.

Mi Rabia Crece
My rage grows....and it grows because I saw what Mexico was. I saw the beauty and richness in its culture. I saw people count their blessings and thank every day for life. I saw families united and small towns with every member caring for one another. But now I see it too, and what I see I do not like.
