How We Fix Our Relationships

As I sit in my upstairs home office writing the introduction to my newsletter, over-looking a medley of indigenous palm trees joined by a cloudless blue sky, I feel privileged to view the best that So.Florida has to offer in perhaps the worst month of the year.

Yes, it’s August. It’s oppressively hot, rainy, humid, and the month we learn of new names given to start-up storms brewing east, south, and west of us.

The decorative scene outside as I sit before my PC pounding the keys on my keyboard does not allow me to think of August at its worst.

Palm fronds waving in the breeze, accompanied by sunny skies and Alexa playing Vivaldi, gives me the impression that it’s a glorious day and all is well—and it is!

My thermostat is set at 78 so I’m cool and comfy, while my fingers say “hello” to all of you who enjoy reading my blogs and newsletters. The reality outside is that hospitals are filled with mostly non-vaccinated, sick, and dying patients. Political clashes fill the airwaves along with emotionally heartfelt testimonials of the Capitol police officers who feared for their lives. Shootings are ramped, and the stock market is dipping below 300 points. I am here, in my bubble surrounded by an illusion that none of this is real.

So, while I’m in la-la land, escaping reality and creating my own, I hope you are far from the maddening world and can kick back, put on your readers and enjoy this month’s Newsletter that I am happy to share with you. https://conta.cc/3yqblOI
