  • Speaking Out Against Drone Attacks

    I was moved the other day when my daughter posted to FaceBook and commented on the story of the drone strike in Pakistan that killed a grandmother, Mamana Bibi, and injured several of her grandchildren while they were working in the family garden.  My daughter wrote:  “Imagine a 68 year old woman picking vegetables with…

  • Immigration, Solidarity, and People Power

    I love my community.  Pascale Fusshoeller, one of our own, was arrested on immigration charges and threatened with immediate deportation.  Our community rallied to her support, somehow pulling together a legal team and raising money for her defense.  Supporters created a FaceBook page within hours, which received over 1200 “likes” within days.  People made so…

  • Climate Change: What do we know? What can we do?

  • Voice of God, Voice of the Earth

    Yesterday I played on the trampoline with two of my little granddaughters.  We laughed so much.  We spent part of the time lying on our backs watching the little cedar helicopter seeds spin slowly down on us as the wind blew. Fall is arriving.  Today is the Autumn Equinox.  And right on schedule, the rain…

  • Family Camp and Beyond

    We got back Monday night from our annual family camp.  We spent four days at Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park, camping with our grown kids and grandkids, taking day trips to the beach, wharf, coffee shops, and out to eat in Santa Cruz, with campfires at night and in the mornings.  The kids were happy…

  • One Billion Rise: A Movement of Spirit

    My beautiful mother, Ruth, celebrated her last birthday two years ago on Valentine’s Day.  She spent the day with Elmer, the love of her last years. Valentine’s Day is the perfect day to highlight the global movement to end violence against women.  My mother was the victim of violence in her childhood, as was I…

  • Children and Climate Change

    How does global warming affect our children?  We so want to protect them from pain, and climate change is a painful topic.  We may not want to scare them by talking about it, and in fact we may not want to talk (or think) about it ourselves. But glaciers are melting, islands are eroding, deserts…

  • Young and Old Together

    This video shows how many M&Ms darling Kayla can catch in her mouth within 30 seconds–I think the final tally was 21. Someone said, “I don’t know what is funnier, the talents in our family or that Grammy Sharon suggested we videotape it and said YouTube and viral in the same sentence.” My grandchildren and…
