Friendship
Have you ever lost a friend but didn’t know why? You just wake up one day and realize they are no longer in your life. From a decision not of your making. For no reason, from no incident, or misunderstanding, or fight; nothing you can recall. Some time ago, two female friends vanished from…

Confessions of a Bionic Wonder Woman In Two Parts
PART ONE August of last year, I assigned myself 12 Labors to be completed by March 1, 2018 for Emerald City Comicon in Seattle. A voluntary, seven-month journey of growth, self-exploration, and development. (For more information and a list of the Labors, please visit previous blog posts.) The idea came about my Freshman year of…

Wonder Woman at Seattle Children’s Hospital
After attending last years Emerald City Comicon in Seattle, for the first time in costume (as Wonder Woman), it occurred to me that I should reach out to Seattle Children’s Hospital and see if I could set up a time to visit. It took several back and forth emails, but a date and time were…

Wonder Woman Movie Review Of Sorts W/O Spoilers

Saturday evening we had…

Making Your Own Soda
While having lunch at Loulay in Seattle, I became inspired by my husband’s beverage choice. He was drinking one of their house-made sodas. Cranberry-ginger or maybe it was pomegranate-lime, I forget. A tall glass with ice is served with a large carafe of very bubbly soda water and a smaller pitcher containing the flavored syrup.…

Tourism in Your Back Yard
I have had the great fortune and privilege of being able to travel in recent years. My husband and I travel several times a year domestically and once every two years or so, we travel internationally. Being a tourist, especially in a foreign country, one has a certain responsibility to be as respectful as one…

Uwajimaya
My husband and I have spent a great deal of time in Seattle. This summer is proving to be quite spectacular, as there is no finer place than The Emerald City on a gorgeous warm summer day. With the Puget Sound, Mt. Rainer, the Olympic Mountains, Pike Place Market, a ton of amazing restaurants as…
