I write books, blogs, articles, essays, and lists--lots of lists. Speaking of lists, here's a brief one of all the things I love: my family, my friends, travel, photography, tea, the beach, and books--lots and lots of books.

Greg's attempt at Dad Humor while touring U of Chicago: "Gee, wonder why they call these Ivy Leagues? Wonder if it's because of all the Ivy or something?" No. Dad. No. "Why don't I ask our tour guide?" And then later: Our sweet tour guide's name was Jarod. At some point we noticed B walk away from us and she was talking to him and asking him questions. Greg turns to me goes: "Uh oh. Now we did it. She went to Jarod." He was cracking himself up all day. 😂 He cracks me up. #chicago #uchicago #collegetour #choosethegood2017 #shine2017 #sobeautiful #architecturelovers #robiehouse #pod
One more of my favs from our night on Lake Michigan. Love this place so much! #sailboats #sunset #lakemichigan #navypierchicago #choosethegood2017 #shine2017 #pod
Hard to believe she'll be in college next year. As Ferris said in #chicago all those years ago: "Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it." #ferriswheel #ferrisbueller #chicago #latergram #shine2017 #pod #brothersandsisters #choosethegood2017 #navypierchicago

Enjoying a little escape to Chicago for a night before the college tour tomorrow. Perfect night for the Riverwalk and dinner with the family. And for once I got in a pic with both kids. Time is flying by.
Love the reflection pattern on this indoor pool. It's like jumping into an abstract painting. #minivacation #collegetour #familytime #choosethegood2017 #shine2017

"First we have to see. Or first we have to be taught to see. We have to be taught to see here, because here is everywhere, related to everywhere else, and if we don't see, hear, taste, smell and feel in this place - not only will we never know anything but the world of sense will be by that much diminished everywhere."--#WilliamCarlosWilliams #poetry #patiolife #gardens #bethelight #choosethegood2017 #shine2017 #quoteoftheday #alittlemagic #simplelife
A Buddhist friend and mentor introduced me to @sharonsalzberg almost 15 years ago. He gave me her book Faith during a particularly difficult time. I read it and it changed my life. It taught me the power of meditation, lovingkindness, radical compassion, and radical forgiveness, the meaning of love and trusting myself, and my entire life turned around. I have read every one of her books since, and now this one, #reallove too. Every human being should read it. Deserves to read it. Deserves Real Love. May every one today and always be happy, healthy, peaceful, loved, and strong. #choosethegood2017 #shine2017 #love #bookstagram #amreading #meditation #peace #bethelight #goodbooks #fathersday
