You and Me With Tea
Synchronicity
Lately life has been flowing like the ocean, or like a water fountain, or maybe just like it should when you get out of your own way. It seems that opportunity has been coming my way for the past couple of weeks. Just when things were feeling like the chips were down, what do ya…

The other day while having a very serendipitous day, I found this message on the ground in Davis Square in my special town of Somerville. Somerville has become a hot bed of artistic energy so it is of no surprise that some beautiful soul took it upon themselves to spray paint the side walk with…

HOW FASCINATING!! states Benjamin Zander, the conductor of the Boston Philharmonic, in response to making a mistake.
