How I did it
How to buy a dslr
It took me
6 months
It made me
Happy

How I did it: I started Project 365 (a photo a day) using my point and shoot.  While it did a really nice job, there were limitations and I wanted to take it to the next level.  I started to do research and talked to some friends.  I found I was getting too confused.  I had gotten feedback from friends that Canon was the best value.  Since its been 30 years since I had a slr, I decided that I would go for the starter level of d… Read how I did it…

How to create a memorable 90th birthday for my Mom
It took me
3 months
It made me
A good daughter

How I did it: I started planning about 4 months ahead of her birthday.  At 90 there is not much that one needs, but most relish reliving memories with the people they loved.There were two parts.  The first was an all family portrait which took a while to get scheduled.  I first tried to narrow down a date for my family and then contacted 7 photographers and provided them with the information about what I wanted to acheive.  I narrow… Read how I did it…

How to document Jury Duty
It took me
2 months
It made me

How I did it: I started an unpublished journal at the start of the trial and referred to that.  I also was able to keep the seven steno books full of notes that I took so I could refer to them if necessary.  I broke down the trial and subjects and tried to capture as much as I could tolerate at one time.  Since I spent 11 weeks on jury duty and couldn't talk about it  while the trial was ongoing,  the first few weeks … Read how I did it…

Going on a silent retreat next weekend 1 day ago

I used to go to this retreat every year when I lived in chicago. I think I went 7 years straight. And since I’ve moved to California I’ve been back twice I think. But I’m flying out on Friday to go again this year. My bff and others I know will also be there.

I love this retreat. Silence is really golden. It is usually very restorative for me to go on these retreats. There is no talking from after dinner on Friday night until noon on Sunday. We all eat in the dining hall and there is no talking during meals. It amazing how much energy you can use trying to communicate with others. I always find this weekend to be one of taking stock of the year and focusing on what is important.
