Better Relationships, Using the Feedback Formula............ 12/08/21

     The Feedback Formula provides peace of mind and healthier relationships.

The Source for Happiness................ 11/30/21

       This month focused on gratitude, thanksgiving, like this inn.  I do not smile more than I do this month; a falsehood concludes that happy people are thankful.

A Surprised, Calmer, Happier and Less Reactive Innkeeper............ 11/21/21

    So many experi-ences when I met my sister yesterday.  

    We hadn't seen each other for a long while, and getting together met my need for con-nection and self-ex-press.  We celebrated life together. 

    Our time also met my need for downing a margarita.  Ahhh!

Young, Again 10/31/21

     Yesterday, before sunset, I flew my stunt kite for two and a half hours while at the  Fort Bragg headlands.
