I once went to Iran to visit a boyfriend and left 2 1/2 years later at the beginning of the 1979 Iranian Revolution. I didn’t realize how lucky I was at the time to have seen Iran in all its glory because gone today is the Iran that I loved so much. This episode is about my love for Iran and how it changed me forever.

What does adventure mean to you? For me, adventure means doing something out of the ordinary, something that takes you out of your self and your routine and into a whole new world that’s ripe for exploration. Adventure can be held within a single, simple moment or part of a greater collection of moments, but it always captures a part of your spiring and leaves you changed forever.

Poetry touches the most tender parts of me. Poetry has a unique way of teaching me about myself. Poetry brings me to my knees with overwhelming gratitude and I know I am blessed because poetry tells me so.

I have noticed a funny thing about extending kindness to another person. When I do something unexpected and generous for another person, I often end up feeling grateful myself. While I don’t do this for selfish reasons, many times I will still experience a gift of unexpected grace, like a boomerang I didn’t know was coming back.

I’ve been a member of an elite club for over a decade. At first we called ourselves the Death Salon and we talked about things like DNR forms and what to do if we became incapacitated. Now 10 years later, we are rethinking what we want the end of our life to be like and we are there for each other in many facets. Call us morbid or bizarre, I believe we have something truly special.

I’m currently recovering from knee surgery. As you can imagine, this has slowed me down quite a bit. Slowing down and appreciating the here and now is something I have been thinking would be beneficial for me, although I did not expect to go about it surgically. Still, as a result, I am finding myself a little more centered in the present moment, and despite the physical limitation, I am finding ways to acknowledge the wow in my now.

For me, there is nothing more to life than a shared table, especially if I can contribute to the offering. I delight in the creation, the finished product, and in sharing it with friends. I even enjoy washing the dishes. I mean really, is there anything more satisfying?

I have a plant hospital dedicated to plants I may have overwatered in my enthusiasm to care for them or plants which my cat, Sid, decided to give an extreme makeover. These are the lessons I learned when I decided to pull the plug on my plant “patients.”

Sundays are usually spent at home getting ready for the week to come. Here is what happened when I decided to do something different, something a little more … action packed. Well, at least my mind went on an adventure. Sometimes my proclivities surprise even me.
