About Me
What’s in a Name? No, Really. I Want to Know.
There is a lifelong debate between those people who say, "What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet," (OK, maybe only Shakespeare via Juliet said that), and those who claim that a name is everything—meaning, your name is a part of who you are. I’m … Continue reading What’s in a Name? No, Really. I Want to Know.
Cat & Dog…People
Why I prefer cats. The fact that I felt the need to write this differentiates a “cat” person from a “dog” person. Why is it that people who own cats must always defend their choice in pets and endure being the butt of jokes and object of ridicule? I don’t think of myself as an … Continue reading Cat & Dog…People

As I mentioned in my post, The Beauty of … Continue reading Travel for Tolerance
Coral Gables: This Ain’t Your Idea of Miami
As I’ve mentioned in some of my other posts, such as The Keys House, I grew up in South Florida. Specifically, I grew up in Miami. Even more specifically, I spent the first 14 years of my life in Coral Gables, Florida—home of the U (That is the University of Miami, for all of you … Continue reading Coral Gables: This Ain’t Your Idea of Miami
Let Them Make Art
I hated art class when I was in school. I’m talking about that class that you had to take in middle school where the teacher made you draw things. I never got it. I remember my teacher saying to me once, “Can’t you see the circles in that painting? Draw circles and then you can … Continue reading Let Them Make Art
