photojournaling my commute

Published by

I’ve been quiet, I know, for a couple of days. It’s not like me for sure, but you know there are days, when you just stand around waiting for the bus, over and over again, and think – Something needs to change. It’s time to make another change, an upgrade if you will to everything I do. A new wardrobe maybe, a remodel of some sort, a shift in blogging. Something. Something has to change. It’ll come to me, I know it. In the meantime, I snapped these wonderful images with my cell, playing around with the i-phone camera upgrade 🙂

can’t i just stay here

Getting back into the swing of things after my flight back to the US, is probably the most difficult thing to do. It almost feels like I was in a coma and now am awake, trying to stand up on my own two feet, stumbling mostly. The only glue that’s holding me together right now, is the fact, my loyal dog won’t leave my side. It’s really difficult to be me right now. So, please stand by and I will get it together enough to share again, my opinion on most anything. 😉

e-book or paperback – question of the day

Published by

While I fine tune my first novel, which I assumed would be ready to launch, weeks ago, I have tossed around the idea of which way to go first. In terms of publishing the book as an  E-book or paperback. I am aware that the ratio is about 50/50 now, as far as how people read books, but while I commute to work on a daily basis, I am shocked to discover on some days, everyone on the train reading an actual book and other days, everyone is e-booking. And this is in a city like San Francisco, where we are green on everything we do. So, how do I decide which button to click to submit the style I want my book to be public?  Any thoughts?    

if i wish hard enough

Published by

I’ve been told as a child if I wish hard enough, I will get to fulfill all my dreams. I didn’t believe it while growing up, but then in the last decade or so, I’ve wished very hard on a few things here and there, and to my surprise, they’ve all come true.  Silly?  Maybe. In light of this, I have to say, I’ve had my eye on a neighborhood in San Francisco, I wish to make my home very very soon.  Sea Cliff, is a neighborhood, I’ve walked through for decades, completely and utterly taken by the lush beauty of the neighborhood, nothing like the rest.  I will live here for sure and if I wish hard enough, I may just do so in this lifetime.

august – mid summer dreams

Published by

One of the worst things in San Francisco, during the summer months, of course is the fog and cold, which make it really difficult to enjoy the season. So, while I spend hours in my home office, drafting my second novel, meanwhile impatiently waiting for the first one to be published, I realize, rolled up in a blanket,  the days are getting shorter and that typical sadness, I feel with the change of season, is lurking within, waiting for that unexpected second to rear its ugly head. Someday, I’ll move away to warmer climates, if not for a lifetime, perhaps just for the summer months. 🙂

finding peace within yourself

I sometimes wonder, if, when I get together with people, they complain about how unhappy they are just to make conversation or they are truly unhappy. Because often times, after spending a few hours listening to their stories, concerns, worries, fears and what nots repeatedly, I walk away thinking, why don’t you make a change? Is it that hard to make a change or is it harder to accept your life as it is and just live it to the fullest? What drives us to be who we are and how come some people take the initiative to make their lives better for themselves and others don’t? Come to think of it, is everyone the same and some just know how to cope better? Any thoughts?
