I am midway through my 69th trip around the sun, and only now am I even beginning to feel really comfortable in my own skin. There is so much more to learn. Of that I am sure. But lately, for what seems the first time, I find myself catching glimpses of my place in...
This morning I felt so small and insignificant. How can I possibly make a difference in the face of such darkness? And then I saw a shooting star, which got me wondering how far away that brilliant light was. Most meteors range in size from grains of sand to very...

This morning I take off for a big road trip adventure. I won’t be back in Boulder until early September. Along the way I will have the joyous privilege of spending time with 5 daughters, all but one of my grandkids, both of my siblings, and numerous friends. I will...
