It’s All Maya!

Mom and I having breakfast at Barnes & Noble. Green tea and cinnamon scones.
It was difficult saying goodbye to my mom after spending a month and a half with her.  Call me lucky because that truly is what I am to have spent that time with her!  Each morning I would wake up and […]

When you hear about all the violence in schools nowadays, you wonder where this world is headed.  At least, I do!  You can’t turn on the news and not hear about teen gangs, or school shootings, or a suicide due to someone being bullied until a poor kid takes his/her own life.

2012 went out beautifully and 2013 came in just as lovely. Patrick and I declined invitations to ring in the new year among friends. Instead we opted to stay home and have a quiet dinner just the two of us.

Yesterday, after Patrick’s business lunch, I met him so we could […]

When I was shopping around for a cheap ticket to go to the States in August for my mom’s 90th birthday(!) I knew I was out of luck. If you know anything about France, then you know there are no cheap tickets anywhere to, or from, France in August! Simple as that! I started looking […]

Maya Muses:  It’s been almost 39 years that my dad passed away, but it doesn’t mean that I don’t think of him often.  I do!  I was lucky to have the most wonderful dad in the world and I miss him very much!  He gave me a love for music and a love for literature […]
