Bonjour Bonsoir Everyone

I wish you vibrant health. I wish you peaceful heart and happy brain.

This blog post has taken one year to complete.

My heart has been heavy – celebrating new Angels but feeling sad, missing these beautiful beings.

I am a better person because of what these Angels have taught me …

Bardi Rosman Koodrin - Storyteller / Local Hero / Literary Director at San Mateo County Fair https://bardiblog.wordpress.com/about/ taught me quirky comedy and inspired me with her “Carry The Light” stage which was built by her husband artist/muralist Boris Koodrin.

Kathryn G. McCarty aka Kathy McCarty - Playwright / Director / Teacher  https://www.eastbaytimes.com/2021/06/05/curtain-calls-bay-area-theater-world-loses-leading-light-in-mccarty/

THE VAGINA MONOLOGUES & V-Day Until the Violence Stops

Victoria Carlyle Weiland aka Vicki Weiland - Developmental Editor/Book Doctor/Novelist 

Vicki’s mantra was: “I help writers focus on the vision of their projects.”

I had designed Vicki’s blog for her https://vickiweiland.wordpress.com/

In my blog post  “Thank you, Eve Ensler & Kathy McCarty”  Vicki Weiland had commented…

[ ...  my gratitude to Eve Ensler, and to Kathy McCarty, the production team and cast members, and “Community Violence Solutions” for providing a venue for the production and a local forum to “Stop the violence. Stop the suffering.” While I was unable to be there in person, I was cheering you from the “front row” of my heart! Bravo! Love, Vicki ]

Winifred McCaffrey aka Wini - Author / Expat https://winifredmccaffrey.wordpress.com/about/ taught me freedom to let go memories that invite stress.

Lynn Scott   - Author of memoirs, short stories, journals / Activist https://lynnscott.wordpress.com/  taught me how to make decisions from the place called Love.

Wen Hsu  taught me humility and how not to rely on apps that translate languages word for word.

Rosemary Clendenen  used to say: “If you drop something on the floor… bend down and pick it up. Good exercise.” (Ron, I am so very sad for you and for all of us who benefited from smiles and kindness from your Rosemary.)

Suzanne Dove who loved sharing the wisdom of Carl Gustav Jung.

Rita Lakin -  Author and trail blazer woman writer of television shows taught me the wisdom of humor.

My father who inspired “Self Be happy.”

My brother Vitus who loved  the gift of music from The Bee Gees.

My mother Rita who inspired kindness, generosity, love and beauty.

Of course Ms. Jamie Lee Curtis is NOT among the Angels I have listed above.  What Ms. Curtis said in this interview brightened my spirits this year as I grieve.

“I love doing my job,” says Ms. Jamie Lee Curtis at the VARIETY interview.

I too love doing my job; when my Brain is distracted by work that makes me happy – using words, photos and movies to give thanks to experiences IS my work.
