What I like about Santa Fe is that it is not adversarial. The pervasive attitude seems to be one of being helpful. In the three months that I have been here, I have heard a car horn twice, and one of those times was me warning a car that was about to back into mine… Read more »
Yesterday I had a healing session with a Master Qigong teacher. Master Liu began her training at the age of four by her grandfather, a Qigong Master and Chinese medical doctor who treated the last emperor of China. By age 14, Master Liu was given permission to teach and to perform healing techniques on others…. Read more »
Visiting with my 87-year-old mother was more healing than I had expected. I was excited to show her my new home and all of the things that I have come to love in Santa Fe. I was looking forward to having fun together, but in casual moments we both found healing and gifts that were… Read more »

My eighty-seven-year-old mother is coming to visit in two weeks. What do you think that she asked for? She didn’t care what food I had or what activities we would do, she wanted to know if I belonged to a gym with a recumbent treadmill and if I had leg weights. She uses heavier leg… Read more »
I love putting things together. Give me an Allen Wrench and I am in heaven. I have assembled desks, chairs, shelving units, tv stands and lamps for myself and my children. We make a project out of it. They buy chocolate, and I sit on the floor with a hundred (more or less) parts and… Read more »
Last night at a party I met a woman who was complaining about how hard it is to meet people in Santa Fe and how everyone seems to be in a relationship leaving single people like her out. I have found just the opposite to be true. I have been invited to more parties in… Read more »
