Read MoreWhat’s your word for 2014?
I have a collection of dictionaries and I’ve been known to read them. (No, not all the way through! Not all at once, anyway.) Nuances, subtleties, double ententres, etymology, layers of meaning – they all get my juices flowing. (Balderdash, anyone?) I write poetry, dabble in Haikus and blog. I snap pictures of bumper stickers…

Read MoreFind your edge, Ring your bell
When visiting last week, my two AZ nieces demonstrated the job of a kid: try stuff and see what happens. It’s a job for adults, too. The 7 and 10 year-old were in constant motion – boogie boarding, cart wheeling, tree climbing. We took them to the Pacific Edge. Fearlessly and with big grins, they…

Read MoreGot a Goal? Get Focused!
Yogi Berra grins: If you don’t set goals, you can’t regret not reaching them. Novelist Rosalyn McMillan advises: When you want something in life, you have to focus. Both good points. But what happens when something blocks our progress? Do we focus on the goal and ignore the obstacle? Or, do we focus on removing…

del-e-gat, vb, to commit powers, functions to another as a agent to carry out powers and functions; to assign responsibility. Synonym: entrust. Dropping-off. We ask others to do stuff for us all the time – stuff we don’t want to do, don’t have the time to do, and couldn’t do even if we had the…
