Mr. Wonderful’s Birthday

Good Morning, God! First — I want to ask You for a BLESSING on Kit on his birthday, today. No. 77. Actually, I asked You last night . . . I’m just “reminding” You now. Yes, God, I know that

Beverly Hills — a deeper look

Koko Head and a Soft Slow Evening

Good Morning, God I usually see this view in the morning — it is a softer light at dusk — wrapping around us, welcoming us into relaxation. I am a recovering adrenaline addict, God. Part of the “do two things
